Do you store your onions in old tights?!

[Windybob]

Apparently, you can store your onions best by putting them in some old tights, according to this article.

"You can even put onions in plastic mesh tubing or old tights/pantyhose. Once, placed in these, tie a knot around each individual onion to allow the maximum amount of cool air to flow around each of them."

Has anyone else tried this? Does it help?

My granny used to because she grew her own and had a glut of them. I buy a bag a week and they are perfectly happy in the salad drawer. Take them out of (or preferably don’t buy them in) plastic bags before storage or they go sweaty then slimy and rotten.

I just keep a few in the bottom of the fridge
