Maximize the life of onions by hanging them in a nylon holder fashioned from the leg of a pair of pantyhose. Push the first onion down into the foot of the stocking leg and tie a knot just above it. Place a second onion inside and tie another knot. Continue until all the onions are placed inside the stocking. Cut off the rest of the pantyhose, tie the leg off at the top, and hang it in the pantry to keep onions fresh. Remove onions from the bottom up by snipping off a knot.
