Huh? Why bother... Penzys sells toasted dehy onions (no salt) for the
same price as plain. You'll never buy onion soup mix again. I buy em
a pound at a time... can't do meat loaf without, use in soups, stews,
in bread/rolls, even good sprinkled on a PB sammich... and makes for a
great Oriental peanut sauce, dipping sauce, salad dressing. They used
to carry sliced, was wonderful for onion soup (could nuke a mugful in
like five minutes), but minced works well too. Gotta have dehy onions
on hand for those times you just ran out, your onions turned to slime,
or just need a little bit... I never use part of an onion and save the
rest, once cut an hour later it stinks... and with the price of onions
in the market these days dehys are a bargain... a pound of dehys
reconstitutes to like ten pounds of whole... no peeling, no waste.
