To think life is too short to slice onions

[Oneunslicedonion]

Spaghetti for dinner. DH bought whole onions. Sob.

AIBU to think ready made sliced onions are a marvellous invention? And never buy whole onions again?

Yabu...it takes seconds

Invest in a decent knife.

You could say similar for any ingredient.

But generally... lifes too short for many things. Unfortunately they need doing.

I've never bought them but why not? I might try some

Never heard of presliced onions before- sounds ridiculous.

With the right knife it takes less time than it does to post on here about it. And probably the same amount of time as it takes to open a bag of sliced onions.

I pre-chop (using the food processor) onions and freeze them. So much easier and means no crying too!

I actively seek out sliced onions on my online shop for this reason

I buy the bags of pre diced frozen onions for the mornings I'm rushing about trying to get ready for work and get something on in the slow cooker for dinner before I go out. Saves so much time.

Frozen are a good store cupboard ingredient. Or whack ‘em in a food processor - chopped in seconds.

Ready-sliced vegetables are terrible value when compared to buying whole. And they further generate plastic waste when whole vegetables don't need bags or tubs.

Why don't you have the time to cut onions, but you do have the time to cook spaghetti?

Jesus it takes a minute!

I buy bags of frozen chopped onion. So much handier to grab from the freezer and add to dishes when needed.

Plastic bag of sliced onions no thanks.

Whole onions come in zero packaging except their own skins. Presliced onions come in plastic packaging.

On that basis, they might be convenient but they're not really sustainable, are they?

The waste of the packaging would bother me. It only takes seconds to chop an onion, surely?

I buy everything ready-chopped

When I used to cook for a charity - 80 portions of cottage pie or turkey casserole, chopped onions were very welcome. Happy to slice 2 onions for the family and quite like doing it. Chopping 2 or 3 bags was heavy on the eyes.

I buy frozen chopped onions. My eyes literally close up when a fresh onion is being chopped in my kitchen!

Does pre- grated cheese offend people as much

I buy everything ready-chopped

Haha me too!

I agree life is way too short

Slicing a few onions will save the planet OP. You have been warned!

Ready chopped, frozen, onion powder all used by me. Life is too short for crying eyes and smelly fingers and chopping boards anymore.

4 times the price and wrapped in plastic. Hardly takes that much effort for the amount impact it has.

Buy chopped onion or use a proceessor
