I heard Chef JP was talking smack about onion powder in one of his recent vids. Well, this thread wherein we’ll serenade the stuff is dedicated to none other than him.How do you like them apples, Jean Pierre?!?!
>>22176917It's okay for being so fine that you can add it in as a recipe but half the time I just prefer lightly fried diced onions.
i like adding it to the flour before breading xyz
>>22176917It’s excellent in marinade for london broil.
>>22176917I like it in eggs when I don't feel like chopping an onion. It's also very useful if you're trying to do copycat McDonalds which seems to have a ton of onion powder in it.
For me the problem with onion powder and other powdered seasonings is lazy cookers rely on them to season whatever they cook which results in everything tasting the same. Usually they have a certain lineup of powdered seasonings they add to everything. I'm not against powdered seasoning in some applications but using them for every dish you cook is fatal cooker mistake.
i don't mind garlic powder even though i think fresh is better but something about onion powder often has a rancid taste to me.
>>22176917>sprinkle on both sides of the cheese of a grilled cheese>thank me later
>>22176993>For me the problem with onion powder and other powdered seasonings is lazy cookers rely on themi mean, why would what other people eat bother you?you're not the one eating it.and if you are the one eating it, can't you just be grateful that they were nice enough to offer you food, even if it's not the best tasting?
>>22176917>applesAren't they supposed to be onions?
>>22177097>you're not allowed to have an opinion on anything unless it personally affects youMoron.
>>22177116no, anon.you're allowed to, but it's a waste of energy.that makes you the moron.
onion powder is one of the cornerstones to any spice rack. I do agree though that one should have not just onion and garlic powder, but also onion and garlic granules. much more interesting to put into mashed potatoes and soups and meatballs and stuff
>>22177134>spice rackyeah... just let them catch the sunlight instead of placing them in the cupboard on the right side of the stove like a sane person.
>>22177138it's in a dark spot anon with no direct light and frankly my cubbids are full already I don't have room
>>22177138Keep mines under the staircase right alongside Henry Porter.
>>22177134>powder>granulesThe former is finer than the latter have I got that correct guvnor
>>22177156it appears you have inferred correctly
>>22177161>onion powder-complexed pepeGood work
>>22176917Rare L by JP. Onion powder is an essential part of the good chef’s collection of seasonings, herbs, and spices. It’s not like parsley flakes which are completely useless.
>>22177218not totally without use, they add some muted green colour, bitterness, and a hint of grass clipping to your food
>>22176917Onion powder is useless and tastes nothing like fresh onions. Onions are so cheap that there is no reason to ever use onion powder. Same with garlic powder. You are just a lazy cooklet.
>>22177097The issue is people trying to show off their non existent cooking skills trying to impress people but they are cutting corners and making low tier food. You have a simplistic moronic view of things. I would not eat anything made by someone so lazy.
>>22177097>can't you just be grateful that they were nice enough to offer you food, even if it's not the best tasting?Do poor people really think this way?
My only gripe with onion powder is that it's rarely ever (possibly even never) fresh. If you want good onion powder, buy dried chopped/minced onion and run it through the blender into powder. Store bought onion powder tastes old and dusty In comparison.That said, JP is probably under the assumption that onion powder is a substitute for fresh onion. Just as dried ginger isn't a substitute for fresh and paprika isn't a substitute for fresh peppers, onion powder is not a substitute for fresh onion
>22176918>22176971>>22176993>>22176999>>22177693>>22177696These people are exactly what I was getting at with >>22177766>Just as dried ginger isn't a substitute for fresh and paprika isn't a substitute for fresh peppers, onion powder is not a substitute for fresh onionIt's not a substitute and never should be.
Oops. Add >>22176918 and >>22176971 to the list from >>22177770 of people who idiotically assume powder and fresh are meant to be interchangeable
truth: onion powder if for umamicooklet opinion is thinking that its replacement for onions, or that fresh onion always is better than the powder
