Great video. I would suggest always sealing your bags right away when you put the O2 absorber in. Having it exposed like that for the duration of the video might have rendered it useless. Did you find that the process created a lot of smell in your house? I have been afraid to try onions, for fear of the odor. I wonder if red onions are less of a problem?
Oxygen absorbers can shockingly be exposed to air a long time before they are no longer effective. The TH-cam channel “Phil at 4800 feet” did a demonstration of this, Thank you for the tip however! And chopping the onions was the worst of it, boiling the onions then freeze drying them left no noticeable odor at all, I say give it a shot! Definitely worth the work, I’ll probably do a bread run with vinegar just in case before my next batch
Great idea as the can easily be used in soups skillet meals etc
