For cooked onions, you can find one answer here: http://www.stilltasty.com/fooditems/index/17825. 1  3-5 days in the refrigerator. 2  refrigerate withing 2 hours of cooking. 3  refrigerate in covered container or wrap tightly with heavy-duty aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
When I use fresh onions, we store the unused parts for up to a week in our fridge in either a ziploc or a sealable rubbermaid-style container. For particularly pungent onions they go in the crisper drawer to keep the smell from being too strong in the rest of the fridge, but usually they're just on one of the shelves. Stilltasty says 2-3 days but my personal experience says otherwise.
