I'm thinking of batching up onion slices for a week or so ahead.

Does storing it in the fridge/freezer ruin it?

Also other shit you can batch prep welcome.

For what purpose?

Chopping onions properly takes seconds.

The fridge totally fucks up onions. Turns them into a soggy mess within 1 day

but cleaning up takes more than a few seconds

What? Maybe if you just leave them on a plate uncovered. If you put them in a plastic bag they can last for weeks.

Yes. More on onions: https://www.cooksillustrated.com/how_tos/5770-cutting-onions-in-advance

Mushrooms freeze well, and intensifies their flavor IMO. Sliced up green onions, some herbs, like cilantro (chopped up) freeze fairly well, as does spinach (whole, for meals where it will be cooked). I keep all these on hand.

No, that's also a few seconds. Rinse knife under the hot tap. Wipe dry with a towel. Stick cutting board in the dishwasher. That's maybe 10 seconds total?

But seriously. In regards to onions it won't necessarily "ruin" them, but it will make them less potent the longer they are in there. Whether or not that is considered "ruining them" is up to you.

Hard rubber, actually. Restaurant supply stores will cut them to order--you can get any size you want. I measured my dishwasher and ordered a couple that were as large as possible would would still fit inside.

Damn straight. Glass cutting boards are a great way to fuck up your knife.

Stop buying your knives from the dollar store you pleb

It doesn't matter if it's a $3 knife from Wal-Mart or the finest handcrafted Japanese blade folded a million times....glass is harder than steel. And it's pants-on-head retarded to make your cutting board out of something harder than your knife.

It's also stupid to make the board out of something that's hard and therefore risks breaking. What are you supposed to do when you need to break down bones for stock? Do you really want to be swinging a cleaver against a glass board? Fuck no.

Glass cutting boards are for clueless retards.
