I love that your dog keeps you company in the kitchen. My guys love hanging around hoping for a treat! They are both rescues too. I thought for so many years that I was immune to crying around onions, but I recently switched to glasses instead of contact lenses and now I definitely cry!! I have a foodsaver brand vac sealer and everyone complains about them breaking, but I've had mine with regular use for like 5 years now. I love it!
@@shannonkatereadsstuff She definitely roams around this kitchen all the time. I might have helped to create that behavior 🤭 Thank you for the reccomandation. Food savers are on sale right now so I've been considering one
I do this also !! It’s great !! I do onions by themselves and peppers too. Than I bag onions and peppers together so I can just grab one bag and go! Or sent it with my oldest son and he can meal prep for himself when he gets back home!! It’s my life so simple and easy!!
LOL...that bowl is enormous!! Love cost comparison videos. I do a lot of those on social media...like the cost of dry chickpeas compared to in a can or making my own brown sugar. Some things aren't that different for everyone but living in a remote area on a sailboat makes a difference for us.
@@sailorgirl2017 I love that bowl 🤭 it's so big but helps with a few projects for sure. I like cost videos too because it's a common question I get when it comes to home preservation so I like to have some facts behind what I do. I make my own brown sugar as well. Christmas time I'll buy brown sugar for certain baked goods but that's it. Seems silly to have the components on hand at all times but still go buy it for everyday use.
@@angelas_pantry_obsession That makes sense - for me a kilo of brown sugar can cost $4.39 but I can buy a 2kg bag of white for $1.99 - Molasses keeps well so for me it's very cost effective...plus it can take 6 hours round trip to get to the grocers! LOL.
I have a food saver brand vacuum sealer that I bought at Costco on sale a two years ago for $75. Biggest tip I have is once the machine says it’s done sealing and the light turns off wait another 5 seconds before lifting the lid. By doing this I never have partial seal no matter how wet.
@crystalh1402 Sam's Club has a food saver on sale for a similar price and I've been so tempted! That's a great tip thank you! I have some bags that will look like they've lost seal and I wonder if that's why.
Wow!!! So most definitely a steal buying the case and dicing them yourself. Even without the kitchenaid, if I had to do it all by hand it'd be worth it. Thank you for sharing that information 😊
But also, I think people feel better buying organic so the cost is kinda irrelevant regarding processing your own veggies :) Plus you know who touched all those onions!

❤ Thank you for your knowledge and videos ❤

One of the first things I started preserving ❤

I’m in California and there’s a sale going 10 oz x 39 of onions would be $80.60 while the 40lb box of onions from Azure is $52.50

I’m so surprised by the cost difference. And it’s onions.
Have you tried freeze drying them? I have heard others do. Maybe some day when I get one I will try it.
@paulawallace6688 yes. I do like freeze dried onions but I can't use them the same way I would with these onions😊

Yes absolutely! I always say, I know the 2 hands who prepared the food in this jar :)
