With all the different types of onions out there, it’s hard to know what’s what! Picking out the wrong type of onion could be the difference between a masterpiece of a meal, and a complete nightmare.
Luckily, silly Chef Buck is here to guide us through the pros and cons of each onion, as well as how to cook them properly!
Yellow Onion
Pros: Low cost and available all year round.
Cons: None
Cooking Uses: These onions are great for just about anything. From soups to salad, and everything in between – yellow onions taste great! However, these are the type of onions you’ll want to use for carmeling since they’re high in sugar.
Red Onion
Pros: Strong spicy taste if eaten raw.
Cons: Not great for caramelizing or long cooking times.
Cooking Uses: These are wonderful for topping salads and grilling! Red onions also taste fantastic on burgers and sandwiches – anytime you can eat onions raw, this is the type to do it with!
Sweet Onion
