Tips for Using an Onion Blossom Maker

RE: Tips for Using an Onion Blossom Maker Post by piki viki (22) | (01/04/2008) Profile | Contact I bought one of those onion bloosom thingys too- have yet use it but heard you could bake instead of fry. Maybe try cutting up potatoes or other round veggies like turnips and baking them for something different. Just some ideas.

I felt like someone had to ask, do you really want to eat a deepfried onion? If you use them just to make it easy to chop an onion, fine, but otherwise...l just couldn't eat one of those fat-sponges.
