Onion Keeper Storage Box

Few vegetables are as indispensable in the kitchen – and as unpopular in the fridge – as a cut onion. Stored uncovered, it spreads its pungent smell through the entire fridge while quickly drying out at the same time. The Onion Keeper Storage Box by Snips puts an end to both: the transparent container with its onion-shaped lid keeps cut onions fresh for days, protects them from drying out and makes sure butter, cheese and desserts no longer taste faintly of onion. Thanks to the distinctive shape, the box is instantly recognisable among food containers and jam jars – one glance is enough.

Cooking almost always leaves half an onion behind – for tomorrow's salad, the evening rösti or the weekend pasta sauce. Inside the patented box it waits safely for its next use, without its aroma spreading through the fridge. The well-fitting lid reliably locks the smell inside, while the transparent container keeps the contents visible at all times. No more guessing which tub hides what, and no more forgotten onion halves pushed to the back of the shelf. That saves money, reduces food waste and keeps the fridge noticeably fresher – day after day, meal after meal.

With a capacity of 0.7 litres, compact dimensions of 12.5 x 10.5 x 10 cm and a weight of just 0.08 kg, the box finds room even in a well-stocked fridge. It is made in Italy from sturdy, food-safe plastic – a patented piece of kitchen design by Snips. After use, the box simply goes into the dishwasher; only the microwave is off limits. The material is 100% recyclable, making it a clean affair right to the end of its long life. Small helper, big effect: fresh onions, a neutral-smelling fridge and less waste.

Tips for fresher onions:

• Cut side down: Store the half onion cut side down – it stays juicy for longer.
• Store straight away: Put the cut onion into the box right after prepping, before the surface starts to dry.
• Shallots welcome too: Red onions, shallots or half a garlic bulb also fit inside the box.
• Use up promptly: Even in the box, cut onions are best used within a few days – ideally planned straight into the next meal.
• Banish the smell: Run the box through the dishwasher after intensive use and it stays permanently odour-neutral.
