Restaurants store cut onions refrigerated all the time. But try and use them in one shift but they will last longer.



They will go soft which is not yet bad but not as good to eat as fresh.



At home try and cut on demand. I will half and make the vertical and horizontal cuts but only dice on demand.



If you want slices then easy. Just take a slice on demand.



Store them cut side down in a sealed container.

The general rule is, it is safe to keep in the fridge (in a sealed container) for about a week. However, I strongly advise against it, as the taste and flavor will suffer. Cut onions will get more and more pungent as they wait.



Even the direction of the cuts contribute to how pungent it gets after being cut.

    A *well-*sealed container as they stink out the fridge otherwise. Cling film on the cut face as well can help. This is mainly a technique to use when cooking for one, and you only need 1/2 an onion.

White Anglo-Saxon Protestant

Image
White Anglo-Saxon Protestants ( WASPs ) are a social group of wealthy and well-connected white Americans, of Protestant and predominantly British ancestry, who trace their ancestry to the American colonial period. Until at least the 1960s, this group has dominated American society and culture and dominated in the leadership of the Whig and Republican parties. They usually are very well placed in major financial, business, legal and academic institutions and had close to a monopoly of elite society due to intermarriage and nepotism. [1] During the latter half of the twentieth century, outsider ethnic and racial groups grew in influence and WASP dominance weakened. Americans are increasingly criticizing the WASP hegemony and disparaging WASPs as the epitome of "the Establishment". The Random House Unabridged Dictionary (1998) says the term is "Sometimes Disparaging and Offensive". [2] [3] The term WASP is often used as a pejorative to classify their historical dom...

How to be valuable when automation & IT are stealing my job (and maybe my whole career)? [closed]

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0; up vote 10 down vote favorite I am a non-IT employee, graduated in business studies, and work in a field related to customer relationship management. I have grown in this field during the past five years since completing my education, and there is a frightening trend in my company and across the industry: People are being laid off because automation can do the jobs of hundreds with the help of programming. Even my own team was halved and I keep wondering what I can do to stay relevant in the longer run. I have the sincere impression that very soon my team won't exist anymore and also skills/jobs in my field will become redundant across other industries. It also seems that only high level functions will require employees but they will be people with solid IT qualifications. So here is my question: How to ensure I stay valuable to my company (or eve...
