Looking good.

There is a youtube film of how to plait onions here.  Much easier if you worn plaits to school as a child.

Or ask them to do the plaits  :toothy10:  The video does it just like I tried to describe.  But it just doesn't matter as long as the onions are to hand.

By the way, HDRA/GO have researched the best way of storing onions and came up with the interesting finding that  b o t h  cool and dry and damp and warm are good ways for storing.  But not cool and damp or dry and warm.  So a warm, steamy kitchen is as good as a cold, dry garage.   :wave:
