So, what brand of frozen onion rings did you use? I tried a few brands
many years ago and didn't like the results so I just gave up. Maybe
they're better now than they were a hundred years ago?

Alexia makes decent frozen onion rings. Their sweet potato fries are good too.

If it helps, in another area folks *lightly* spray them with oil first.
I son' know if it's 'PAM' or a genuine oil mister. Sems to work well
from posts.

Â* I tried that with some breaded chicken strips , used spray veggie oil
and it didn't work very well . So I bought a trigger spray bottle and
put olive oil in it . Works better , but I have a hard time getting an
even film of oil on stuff . And that oil is crucial to getting a crispy
coating .

Krogers frozen onion rings are good.

The last time I bought any, a loooooong time ago, they were made with
chopped onions.

Those are horrid. Whatever kind I bought were made with real onion rings but
I think I bought them at Walmart, so not Kroger brand.

Don't take any frozen brand advice, Joan. I've never had a decent
one from frozen, ready to cook, or from any fast food
restaruant. Oops...The old A&W drive-ins sold excellent ones.
After surfing all morning, we would run up there for a frost mug
of rootbeer and a couple orders of onion rings. So good.

I know it's over-claimed here but if you want good ones, make
them yourself.

More time and trouble but you will never go back to any half-ass
frozen rings.

Use red onions and cut them large, dip in a medium thick tempura
batter, fry them until browned in a neutral oil (canola or
vegetable), salt immediately then set on paper towels or wire
racks to drain.

More trouble but so worth it. I don't do this often but when I
do, I'll make them for several days in a row.

There's a restaurant here that serves deep fried onion rings and
I know they come frozen from their commissary. Just wish they
were available to the public to prepare at home. I'm just not
into that make-at-home mess.

The ones from Jack In The Box are good!

Will Jack come to my house and fry a batch up for me?

I make my own, super easy and not very messy at all. I use a beer batter after cutting white onions into rings
and sticking them in ice water (water with ice cubes) for a couple hours, and drying thoroughly before battering.
After frying in canola oil in my electric frypan, I lay them on cooling racks over paper towel, and then move them
to paper towels to finish drying the grease. Salt lightly. I lay them out in a single layer on cookie sheets and
freeze them, then pour them into a gallon Baggie (being gentle). When I want some, I put them on a foil-lined
pan in my toaster oven with temp set about 350 until they are hot. They are very tasty, nice and crisp.

Don't buy their "Crispy Fried Onions". They use palm oil. That makes
Kroger environmental terrorists. Save the orang utan!

Sounds really good. I opened my grill today to check the rust. Pa 18706.

Sure. We can buy guns with no ID but cooking grills must be registered
and permitted by the local fire department. Typical license is $100 for
gas grills, $125 for charcoal.

I can understand that. You want to be sure that people who own a grill
are mentally stable.

I agree, but I'm not sure (with all the snipping) what that has to do
with frozen onion rings, grills or rust.

LOL

I see my quote button or whatever did not capture who I was replying to.
Happens often when posting from my tablet.
I was jealous of a grill comment and pointed out where I live and it is time to grill. Right now it is snowing HEAVY.

I grilled steaks Tuesday when it was unseasonably warm. First time I
grilled since last November.

Still rain here but will change to snow tonight.

Sorry about the snow.

I grilled salmon on Wednesday. MI 48197

It's been a little too windy since then. The 5 inches of slush that fell
on Thursday wouldn't have deterred me. Tomorrow looks good, though.

I bought some that I baked in the oven. Can't remember the brand but they

Â* The thing about the air fryer is that it crisps things , just as it
they were deep fried but without the mess . We got our 3 kids each one
for Christmas , 2 of them are thrilled . The third , her hubby is an
asshole and doesn't like anything we do , last I heard he wouldn't let
her use it . First time she heats some pizza rolls/tater tots/etc for
the girls with it she'll be hooked too .

I inferred that he won't eat food prepared in it. It might be not worth
it to her to make food he won't eat. Tantamount to not letting her use it.

He does sound like an asshole, though.

Air-fried tempeh is great. Normally, the problem with tempeh is that
it soaks up all the oil you fry it in. Making it good but a bit junky.
In the air-frier you get beautiful, crispy non-greasy tempeh. Not that
anybody here knows what tempeh is.

I do, but it's been decades since I've eaten any. I dislike it for
the same reason that I dislike bleu cheese.

That makes 2 of us who know it, at least. Don't you like the idea of
the mold or the flavour? Because I think tempeh and BV cheese taste
very different.

I quite deep frying years ago. About the only thing I ever did deep fry was
donuts. Just curious but will it do those? I rarely eat fried food either.
Just not my thing but once in a while I'll get French fries in a restaurant.
