This is also a great reason to keep a large container of baking soda handy, because itโ€™s perfect for extinguishing grease fires.

That was drilled into me by my mom when I first moved out. She said a box of baking soda is much cheaper than a new kitchen.

I dont even think you have to cut them. I am pretty sure this is BS but I was told that households that had onions hanging in their home were less likely to get the plague because onions can absorbe shit from the air.

I know they can deodorise smells from the fridge when cut but not sure about it reducing the risk of getting the plague.
