Dried Dehydrated - Onion Kibbled, Flakes, Chopped 750g

Tates lovely, long lasting quality is also good

It’s convenient for curries and saves extra time to cut 🧅 onions

I've become pleased with these onions once I figured out how best to use them. For the best texture place a small saucepan or frying pan on your scales and zero it. Now add 1/10th of the required amount of fresh onion (size charts available online , find one that works with your idea of small, medium and large, and bookmark it). Next top up with water until the equivalent fresh onion weight is achieved. Simmer gently under a lid at first, and then without until all the water is gone. This should take about 10 minutes, any less and the heat is too fierce. When the water is almost all gone add a touch of fat of your choice and stir it about to distribute evenly, but before you do taste a piece and see if you need to add a tablespoon or two more water. Cook until the onions begin to sizzle. To use the onions in your regular recipe proceed as usual from the point where they are beginning to look cooked and glistening. NB, the onions aren't really cooked at this point, they're at the equivalent point of starting to sweat fresh ones.Now, to CARAMELISE them add a little more oil as need and a pinch of (demerara) sugar and keep going. As long as you've first cooked in enough water the magic will happen and the flavour will blossom. Once done mine were indistinguishable from caramelised onions made from fresh.The one downside is that for some reason dried onions are harder on the digestion than fresh ones. This is well known in trekking circles but may be news to you. It's something to keep on mind.In conclusion, I'm happy to have some to hand in my cupboard and they do get used and replaced, so they're not "victuals of last resort" a step ahead of cannibalism (SOS mix, I'm looking at you!), far from it, but they won't ever entirely replace fresh onions either. It's good to sieve out the dust as you get toward the end of the packet. It's bonus onion powder, so keep it and use it, but it does clag up the pieces if what you're after is browned onions.

Just what I wanted

great to added to soups and stews

I had expected the onion flakes to be chopped a little smaller (like previous alternative brands I'd bought) so beware the pieces are bigger than normal, but otherwise pleased with the product.

These dehydrated onions will last a long time, very worth the money!

Arrived too late, had to change my whole menu. I refuse to pay £10.00 for next day delivery. For one item, and then the same amount again for three other packets.
