Do you save unused portions of onions? I do save them in a bag/tupperware but my mom told me Dr. Oz or Oprah said it isn't good to store onions in the fridge. Has anyone heard this?

I save and reuse within a day or so.
I've also chopped and frozen -
I keep a bag of veggie scraps in the freezer and use them when I make stock!
-
I don't know about storing them in the fridge (although if I think I'll use them within a day or two I'll do this) but I often chop and freeze.
-
I put the rest in the fridge but I usually never use it.
-
i've heard that too, but i still wrap in plastic wrap or a tupperware and re use within a few days.
-
I'll put them in the fridge and use them on sandwiches, in omelets, etc. Didn't know I wasn't supposed to.
-
I try to ignore Dr. Oz and Oprah.
I keep them in a tupperware in the fridge and they're usually fine. As long as i use them within a couple of days, of course!

@Freckles: hahaha! Ditto on ignoring them two.
@Ash: Same happens to me.
-
@Freckles: @.twist.: I ignore them too.
We always put the onion in the fridge and reuse.
-
@autumnlove: I have heard this too, because onions apparently attract bacteria or something like that. So I stopped saving them. I use the whole thing
-
I ignore dr oz as well. I store them and reuse!
-
It's actually an old wives' tale!
-
Hmmmm I always store them in a ziplock and keep using. I find they don't go bad for at least a week. Maybe I need to change my onion usage.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with using the bits. Personally, I don't save them. I find that flavor and texture can be a little off if they're not freshly chopped. But I'm fussy with food. Just ask Mr. T!
