    I remember reading some kind of tip, maybe making a sauce out of onion and garlic skin, but in any case, is there any concern with mold or food safety with this method? There was some talk of it with whatever I read.

      If you’re freezing it all, no. It could get freezer burned but that just makes it taste off it should still be safe to eat. If you keep stuff in the fridge not freezer, or you let things sit on the counter too long between each processing step, it could go bad. That’s just general food safety though not just a trimmings thing

      They go straight into the freezer, and are then boiled for a while, and then frozen and then boiled again.

      I haven’t had a problem, but you should probably wash them first

        Well, that’s the thing, who washes onion skins? Unless you’re going to use them later. But even then, dirt tends to get stuck between the outer layers.
