Onion Scrap

There are always Onions in the Pantry

Almost always, Onions are preped by:
-Slicing Off the Top
-Slicing Off the Bottom
-Making a shallow cut into the skin and removing the outer layers of the onion, along the axis
(then half the onion along the axis, and thinly sliced the onion along the axis for a pile of slivered onions)

Everything removed (Top, Bottom and Outer Layer of Mostly the Onion Skin)
We save all this in a Zip-Lock (“Onion Scrap Bag”) into the Freezer

We bring it out and empty all Onion Scrap Bags when Poaching Chickens and making Chicken Stock, in a stock pot full of boiling water

We will empty these Onion Scrap Bags into the Instant Pot when we cook our Boston Butt under high pressure and steam
It will fall apart but retain some integrity and hopefully a gelatinous glace will result as a by-product

Clarification:
Slicing Along the Axis is a cut which extends from the South pole to the North Pole of the Onion (longitude: running North to South)
(this produces curved matchsticks)
Slicing Against the Axis is a cross-cut in the same direction as the equator,
(this produces Onion Rings)
