Put the unpeeled onion in a baggie (or plastic container) in the freezer for 20 minutes or so before peeling and chopping it. It won’t eliminate the smell entirely but I’ve found it cuts it way down. That plus double bagging your chopped onions might eliminate it entirely.

I didn’t realize you could freeze raw mushrooms. Thanks!

I’ve got nothing on preventing smells. Be sure to share if you find an answer.

I have wanted to flash freeze tablespoons of chopped onions but can’t figure out how to do it without stinking up the freezer! Any hints?

I used to flash freeze blueberries like you do. I thought they would clump together if I didn’t flash freeze them first. Then I tried washing, drying and adding the fresh blueberries directly to a gallon sized freezer bag. Funny thing is that I got exactly the same results with both methods. The blueberries freeze individually even when frozen all together in the gallon bag, so I can pour out a few and return the bag back to the freezer for another day. A baking sheet doesn’t hold many berries in a single layer, so dumping them all in the bag to freeze saves me extra work.

Thanks for the tip on freezing fresh mushrooms. I’ve always wondered if it could be done. I usually just pick mine up the week I’m cooking and get stuck paying full price. I wish I had known this last week when Aldi had mushrooms on sale.

Great tips! I also flash freeze meats – specificially, I will cut chicken breasts into tenders and flash freeze so I have a bag of frozen tenders ready to go without having to wrap each piece. I also flash freeze cooked meatballs and fresh chops so I can bag them in meal-sized portions.

I just read an article about this a few weeks ago, and I love it. I had no idea how to do this!

Although…maybe I shouldn’t say “I love it”…I have yet to try it!!
