I go through a 2lb bag every week, which is usually 6-7 cooking onions. Plus a red onion or two. That's between me and the wife, so I guess that makes 4 onions for me personally.

So 4. Four onions.

>> No.5196816

3-12ish. I fucking love onions and have them with nearly everything. I eat them raw like a fruit sometimes.
same goes for tomatoes, zuchinni(except for the raw thing) and carrots. god foods.

I make soup.
>>5196808
How? I cut up an onion and put it in my sandwiches for work every day.
And I usually dice an onion into most meals I eat.

Onions are good for you and a good filler AND are super cheap.
There is no excuse to be eating less than 10 onions a week.

Do you use red onion or regular for sandwiches? I've thought about adding raw regular onion to mine for work, but I don't want to have obnoxious onion breath. I can't tell if I do or not after eating them, and personally I like the smell of onions so it doesn't catch my attention as much as garlic or other strong smelling foods.
I can't really brush my teeth at work. I suppose I could take mouth wash or gum but i'd rather not have to be buying it.

>> No.5196850

I use exactly two onions every week in soups and sauces. Sometimes I'll make something else on the side that needs a bit of onion and that'll bump it up to three for that week because I'll only use a bit of that onion.

If it's in a sandwich, it probably wont make your breath that bad.

A fuckton. Holy shit, so many. Onion goes in everything I cook. Same with cloves of garlic.

at least one a day, probably more like 15 per week, depending on the size. sometimes it doesn't even take a week to use up a 5lb bag

How much do you guys pay for onions? I usually buy yellow onions because they're the cheapest for $0.39/lb at the asian market.

It varies quite a bit, but if I average it out probably 3-4.

>> No.5197213

One onion weighs an average of about 150g.

I buy a 3lb bag of onions every 15 days or so.

There are about 450g in a pound.

Therefore:
(((3lbs per bag × 450g in a pound) ÷ 15 days per onion-buying cycle) × 7 days in a week) ÷ 150g weight of an average onion = about 4⅕ onions each week.

ah okay. red onions are more expensive here but they are a bit nicer raw for salads and such.
yeah that's kind of what I was thinking. the usual bread, tuna and greens probably do a good job of masking it. i'll give it a try.

BTW OP I love onions, eat probably 7-9 pounds a week (Half red and half yellow).

>> No.5197943

About 100 lbs. but we make homemade onion rings here and sell the shit out of them. Also some of the steaks get crispy thin sliced fried onions and the pork chop. Also I occasionally run French Onion soup if we aren't selling them fast enough and need to empty out the case that is always a big seller in the winter.

I don't have red onions all that often, maybe 1 a week tops.
White/Yellow Onions though, i use all the fucking time. Ramen? better chop up some onion. Making breakfast? you're damn right I'm frying some onion up in bacon grease to go with the eggs bacon and hashbrowns. No salsa? Nigga imma make my own (i fend that a good mix is for every two tomatos use three onions of similar size to the tomato). Tacos? I fry onion up with the meat, and cut up some fresh onion to put on top. Every godamn sammich i eat (short of sweet ones like PBJ) has some ultra thin cut onion strips in it. Somehow I haven't made french onion soup yet...
also I don't go grocery shopping i just give my roomates money and somehow they always get what i want. Somehow we never run out of onions, so I don't know what the average price per pound is. (Bostonfag if that helps)

Wow. Are you all serious? How the hell is it possible to use 10+ onions a WEEK? Do you put 3 onions in every meal you eat or what?

If I have no idea what to cook, the first step is often to warm a pan and throw in some onions. I can go pantry/fridge diving while they are sweating.

But even if I have a plan... Sautéed vegetables? 1-2 onions first. Soup? 1 onion or more depending on volume. Roasted chicken? I'll often quarter an onion and put that under the bird along with carrots and celery for an aromates base. Etc..

I don't think that's so much. Onion goes in almost everything, if you make your meals from scratch I can't imagine using less than 6 onions at least per week.
