5.0 out of 5 stars EXTENDS THE LIFE OF AN ONION, August 1, 2008

The way it works, you can see in the photo the swirls at the bottom of half of the onion saver. This collects the moisture so that the onion (partially sliced of course) stays fresh. I have tried these "savers" for tomatoes and lemons as well, and they always seem to work very well. And they're quite attractive.

I do find that they do best on about the second shelf of the refrigerator, and putting them in the crisper is not so good. They just don't need it.

One reviewer complained about the odor. I find that, yes, if I put the saver up close and smell it, I can smell an onion odor. But I don't find it so strong that it permeates my refrigerator or sniff a noticeable odor when I open the fridge door.

They also clean well in the top portion of the dishwasher.

I'm very satisfied. It means no more wilted, tanned onion only meant for the trash bin after being refrigerated only a few days. And as I love onions, this is a real boon for my kitchen.

As someone who finds herself in the kitchen every third or fourth blue moon, foods have a way of getting out of control in my refrigerator. An onion sliced a mere week ago will inevitably develop delusions of grandeur and invade the neighboring bag of espresso beans. To compound the problem, I don't usually buy whole onions; I buy the ready-sliced type in the little plastic container (hey, life is short...an onion's an onion). Prêt-à-porter onions reek after 24 hours. I bought this little onion holder because I thought it looked pretty...and much to my amazement, it works. Even pre-sliced guys will keep for about ten days before the fumes become noticeable. The lid fits securely, odors are contained, the colors are adorable (mine is purple). A charming little gizmo, no matter how you slice it.

Actually does work as long as onion is inside and onion saver closed.
I have never had any problems. It is really easy to use.
