[@Nathan-en9dn]

Well it's true I bought 2 for a party once and let them sit for just 1 hour and they get soggy. Tried to heat them up and it just got worse. I really like the onion mum but I'm sure the cook isn't the "normal" cook with COVID so not as great. My brother who never cooked a day in his life was hired as a chef at a different franchise and I'm never going back there again because of that.

[@nerofl89]

@@Nathan-en9dn The problem is the packaging is sealed to keep the heat, but also keeps the moisture and with the light batter it causes it to become soggy. Best way to reheat it is to use a toaster oven, or broil in a standard oven with door open to allow circulation, still best when first made.

Take a metal scoop and scoop out the core of the onion before making the cuts for the petals. When I worked at outback we did that to help the rammekin sit in the onion better. Also if you place it in the grease with the pedals facing down and give it a few solid taps(with the metal spider or mesh spoon hes using) on the root it opens up the pedals and releases the air pocket making it cook better. It is also fried in beef tallow.

Another tip to get a more even cook on the onion is spin it into the oil rather than just setting it in i used to work at texas roadhouse as a fry cook

Fun little story: I didn't have the proper tool to safely lower my blooming onion into the oil, so I had to lower it quickly before it fell and splashed.

One of the ways we got the onion layers to open up was to put the sliced onion with the root pointing up in ice water for a while. Shake it off or let it dry for a while before flouring and battering. The way to fry was to spin it while putting it with the root up into the oil.

[@Original_Tenshi_Chan]

I didn't work at Outback, I worked at Lonestar Steakhouse. We didn't have a "Bloomin Onion", we called ours a "Texas Rose" or some nonsense. So I'm not sure if there were differences between Outbacks and ours, but here goes - 1. We didn't use "Spicy Mayo". It was "Southwest Ranch". Basically ranch with cayenne powder in it. 2. We didn't prep or make them there. They arrived frozen and were tossed into the fryer essentially straight from the freezer (just like all the fried chicken products and french fries) 3. I don't recall ever seeing the cooks salt them when they came out of the fryer, so not sure if it was "salt in the batter" or "salted after". and 4. God, quitting that job was one of the greatest days ever... I hate generic fast-casual restaurants. Your onion looks delicious, BTW!

[@myriad28]

Hey there, prior Bloom guy at Outback (yes, there is a dedicated cook for Bloomin' Onions). First thing, (as stated by a couple other people) the onion should enter and exit the oil upside down. 1 1/2 minutes face down, 1 1/2 minutes face up, flip it over again and pull it out. The bubbling oil spreads the petals, cooks the whole thing and the oil drains out quicker when you pull it out. 2nd, the battering: real amateur job, BUT THAT'S OK. Normal people don't do this thing hundreds of times in a week (not a joke). You don't have enough eggs in your batter (should be 6 eggs per gallon). You don't need any milk, we did a side-by-side and found out it doesn't make any difference compared to water (but bonus points if you add a pint of beer). The spices added sounds delicious though! Last thing is the onion cutting/prep. I love the instructions for the spacing, makes it much easier to do if you don't have the tool. Definitely cut the roots off, though; it's icky and the cut lets the onion sit flat. When you're cutting the petals, don't cut too close to the base and try to make the cut diagonally into the center. You can see the result during the flouring; you don't want stray petals falling away from the rest of the onion, but you still want the onion to 'bloom'. As a fun extra tidbit of info, Outback uses Beef Tallow in their fryers. Peanut oil is the best, but can't risk possibly killing someone. There's also a dedicated fryer for blooms so that people with shellfish allergies can eat it too. And please be safe with the oil! An onion is not worth the kitchen fire! ...... Happy cooking!

[@poconofriend777]

I work at outback and we actually soak the sliced onions in water overnight to prevent them from sticking together. It takes about 5 minutes to get a bloom out so if you order to-go it has probably been sitting there for 10+ minutes waiting for you to arrive. Also it's packaged in a sealed container so the moisture ruins the crunch. It's actually the highest profit margin menu item costing only $0.75 to make and sold at $8.99

I like how he smoothly transitioned from Nashville to Seattle with his Alice in Chains impression.

I love your show! I am in Australia and I remember an American steak house in the 90s that set themselves up here and they had this as onion thing as one of their feature menu items. Looks the same… I thought it was an American dish…

[@MitchDudarko]

You can literally go to every restaurant in Australia, and not find one of these on the menu. Thanks murica

The book arrived, and it's fantastico, I was not expecting it to be so full on, you all did a lot of work on this book and I thought I should just share my gratitude for your work in this amazing, extremely dense, and detailed cookbook with so many different facets to it, honestly, thank you. Gushing fanboy aside, Onion rings agreed.

[@ashleylee7630]

I love blooming onions and onion rings. They hit differently, different textures.

[@ThyVS]

i remember having outback steakhouse funions there were the bomb- but it was like 5 years ago and i still remember the taste :D

[@dennisdiaz4093]

When ya fry the onion, face it downward so the petals separate better !

[@A5M5-hm9lk]

Love your videos! Fun, light, and informative.

[@philstuf]

This was great. I love the "but better" series and can safely say of those I have tried (the Whopper, especially), you're doing God's work here.

[@HannahMattox]

I wasn't in the group of people telling you to do this one, but I've been trying to perfect the home style blooming onion for years. The Vidalia onion reigns supreme here.

[@jennabrown4429]

Wasn’t Outback’s sauce some sort of horseradish dip, though? I haven’t seen anyone else say this.

[@HannahMattox]

@@jennabrown4429 yes, and it's super good. Fat Baby Ray's Special Sauce is EXTREMELY close to that original sauce you're talking about!

I haven’t had these from Outback but I know they are really good from Texas Roadhouse. Personal oponion.

[@emilyacevedo4746]

I grew up with these being a treat at the county fair every year. They’re actually really good, I have a suspicion that Outback is not a very good example of a classic midwestern fair snack.

It’s been years since I had one from Outback, but wasn’t the sauce some sort of horseradish dip? No one else is mentioning this…

Got a delivery notification that the cookbook is sitting at the house, waiting for me to get home. At least it has company with Binging w/Babish's cookbook in the same box.
