Does it help onions and potatoes last longer?

I can't really say that it helps those specific items last longer but my overall impression is that I'm throwing away much less since using these things. In the way of example, cilantro that might have been good for 2-3 days now is good for a week.

in general potatoes and onions last longer indoors away from direct sunlight. with these bluapple fridge they last way longer. awesome product. keeps my spinach and mushrooms so fresh for 2 weeks. after 2 weeks only mushrooms start to get mushy n stink.

I keep my onions in the fridge with my blue apples, and they work wonderfully. To be honest. I never thought of putting them in my potato bin, but you've given me an idea!

Yes. The original purchase comes with a guide telling how much gas,fruits and vegetables give off and how responsive each will be to the bluapple. I love mine. It really does save lots of fruits and veggies.

It seems to help ALL fruits and vegetables to last longer. It absorbs the gasses they emit that cause them to ripen, so it slows down the deterioration process. I keep them in all my fruit and veggie drawers in the fridge and with all my baskets of fruit & veggies on the counter. It helps make things last longer.

I do my onions and potatoes by hand. I'm pretty fast so I don't bother using this. I have another toy for that if I want.

That is a good question! And to tell the truth I use both depending how soon I need them. Point 1: If I plan to use them in some the next day I use hot tap water. I let these set for about 12 to 24 hours. This aloes the hash brown to full re hydrate. I like to add dryed onions to both ways as well as my seasonings.Point 2: If I decide to use them the same day I use boiling water and I let them set for about a hour. This gives the potatoes a good taste.

Yes. Potatoes cooked in the bag cook faster, have softer skin and cook more evenly. Yanno how potatoes get dry on the side placed down on the microwave. Well, with the bag, they cook evenly all over. BUT, the bag burned up after the first time I used it so don't waste your money. Good concept but, unless your microwave is big enough that the sides of the bag DO NOT touch the sides of the microwave (allowing the bag to rotate freely) it will be useless

No. You can put them in the bag and set your microwave for the automatic "COOK POTATO" cycle and it will come out fine. The 4 minutes is not true, even with the bag it will take about 10 minutes

yes it could be used that way dr you can use the square cutter blades to make square fries you just have to slice your vegies the size you would like to use it is also great for making homemade potatoe salad you can dice up your eggs pickles onions and all the other things used in your salad as you know everybody has their own twist on what is added to potatoe salad but dicing your onions and sweating them on medium heat will make your potatoe salad last longer without the onions overpowering the whole dish those onions tend to take over with age if not sweating them down to pretty tender texture but like i say yes this is a very good asset for you kitchen utensils. hope you enjoy it we sure do enjoy ours vegetable sour is a cooks best help the norco big mouth slicer, chopper have a great day

Don't Know. I know if you keep chopping onions with it they get really mushy!! I really just use it to dice onions and garlic for my tomato sauce. I have to be careful that I don't turn the handle too many times.

Yes you can it does a good job with Potatoes Carrots Onion if you cut it in half first, hope that helps�I have just reread this, I did not mention tha I cut potatoes into for or five rings before chopping it only takes a couple of minutes depending on their size also Carrots if they are large I cut them about 4 times and medium onions in half.

It will turn your potato into mush. You should just use the fine side of a cheese grater if you're doing potato.

Haven't had an opportunity to check on the length of time they'll hold up. Only use it occasionally and onions (rarely stored) and lemons or limes don't last long around here. Sorry I can't be more helpful. It appears to have pronise, so I guess you'll have to experiment. Let's hope it works as good as claimed. Richard

Yes it sure can. However, sometimes I find that it does "too good of a job". On things like onion used in a potatoe salad, it comes out more minced than my husband and I like. Sorta ends up mushy and I have to drain the onion juice away from the end product. It might be me though... I prefer to chop onion with a manual chopper. "Carrots, etc?" I love it!!! You will too!! I can't recall the differentiations of this model vs another as I did a comparison with a good share of other models and brands a long while back. it has done a superb job!.... Hope this helps.

Yes as long as you par cook them first (either boil or microwave). You don't need to cook very long just soften them up a bit. The other trick for this item is to spray PAM on the blades. I had trouble with regular potatoes so contacted the company and they told me both these tricks.

Small amounts of vegetables roughly cut first work ver well. My favorite is chopping onions, no more tears. I love it. I make potato soup, and chop the potatoes in it.
