These diced onions deliver the same taste and texture without all the peeling and cutting. No matter what you mix them into, these chopped and dried onions will deliver purity, consistency and quality every time. Whole white onions are carefully sourced and selected to create a distinct chopped onion flavor. Once they've been peeled, they undergo a 20-hour dehydration process that brings out their flavor. Because the onions are closely inspected before they ever reach the shelves, you can trust that you'll have exceptional ingredients ready at all times. McCormick Culinary Dehydrated Chef's Cut Onion is made with chefs in mind to help you save time, effort and money in the kitchen. Instead of taking extra time to prepare fresh ingredients, you can skip several steps when you use dehydrated onions in your dishes. To reconstitute the diced onions, just soak them in cold water for 20 minutes and use them exactly as you'd use fresh onion. Have a dish you want to make that uses a large amount of onion? Once your onions are rehydrated and drained, they can be substituted into any dish that calls for their fresh counterparts. Just keep in mind that these dehydrated onions equal quadruple their weight in fresh ingredients. With dehydrated onions, you'll always be ready to prepare deliciously flavored dishes. Try adding some into soups, dips, meatloaf and stews. It also works well as a topping for both hamburgers and hot dogs. You can even toss some into dips, sauces and salad dressings to add extra body and flavor that anyone will find irresistible. Along with saving time in the kitchen, these dried chopped onions contain no added MSG. With one of these bulk containers, you can deliver a robust flavor profile without additives. Review: Delicious! Convenient. Easy to use. - I love McCormick Culinary Dehydrated Chef's Cut Onion. I keep an empty quart size spice jar and use this to refill it. The remainder goes into an airtight container with an oxygen absorber and it stays fresh. I add it to soups, stews, beans, slow cooker meals and other foods straight from the container. When I need fresh onion, but find myself without (or just too lazy) or just needing a couple tablespoons, I simply rehydrate according to the instructions on the carton and it works wonderfully. I have even crushed the dry flakes in a mortar to make "minced" onion before rehydrating when I need just a tablespoon or two. Beats having to store most of a fresh onion in the fridge, where the smell permeates everything. For me, these give a good onion flavor, stronger than onion powder, plus they add texture and a certain amount of bulk to my dishes, that you don't get with powder. Obviously, the flavor is not as strong as you'll get with fresh onion, but you can taste it, and it doesn't overpower other flavors, like fresh can. The dried onion lacks the pungent sharpness of fresh, so if that's what you're looking for, you'll be dissapointed. I think the dried has a sweetness that ordinary fresh raw onions don't have and that's one reason I like these. I like to sprinkle them on my salads and baked potatoes as a crispy topper. I've used a lot of dried onions in my 50 years of cooking for a family, and these top my list, far above what I find in the store. My husband is a retired cheff; he said these are the best dried onions he's used, as well. I definitely recommend giving them try. Review: Larger pieces than standard minced onions - The larger "chef's cut" averages about 3 times larger than standard dried minced onions. Many pieces are short strips. They are quick & easy to grind down in a blade-type coffee or spice grinder and combine well with other herbs & spices. Freshness upon opening was a pleasant surprise, for dehydrated veggies, and months after opening they are staying quite fresh in the large thick-walled carton. Flavor is, of course, not as strong as fresh but stronger and fuller than any other dried onions we have tried. They rehydrate quickly when added to recipes, so can thicken watery sauces, but are fairly edible dry. Vendor answered my question about country of origin as USA. Good in egg,s & burger mix, not adding excess moisture. Might be excellent baked into rolls, breads, etc. ## Features - FRESH ONION FLAVOR: McCormick Culinary Chef’s Cut Onions are cut in large slices and offer the familiar texture and taste of fresh onions once you rehydrate them in cool water - EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY: Carefully and closely considered, washed and sliced before being dehydrated for 20 hours to ensure exceptional quality and maximum freshness every time you use them - MADE FOR CHEFS: Crafted with culinary professionals in mind, each 2-pound container of dehydrated onions delivers convenience, restaurant-quality flavor and a longer shelf life - VERSATILE FRESH ONION SUBSTITUTE: Can be used across your menu in recipes like soups, dips, meatloaf and stews as a fresh onion substitute when you need a convenient, delicious alternative - GOOD FOR YOU TASTE: Made without added MSG for a bold flavor that you can feel good about; enjoy robust onion flavor without peeling, slicing and chopping ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B008OGCLXQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #12,096 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #15 in Onion Powder & Flakes | | Brand | McCormick Culinary | | Brand Name | McCormick Culinary | | Coin Variety 1 | Onion | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 953 Reviews | | Diet Type | Vegetarian | | Flavor | Chef's Cut Onion | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00052100796109 | | Item Form | Dried, Sliced | | Item Package Weight | 1.1 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | McCormick & Company, Inc. | | Model Number | 052100796109 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 2 | | Part Number | 052100796109 | | Produce Sold As Format | Pre-packaged | | Size | 2 Pound (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Vegan, high-fructose-corn-syrup-free, low-carb, vegetarian | | UPC | 052100796109 | | Unit Count | 32.0 Ounce | | Variety | Onion | ## Images ![McCormick Culinary Dehydrated Chef's Cut Onion, 2 lb - One 2 Pound Container of Dehydrated Chopped Onions, Use as Fresh Onion Substitute - Perfect in Soups, Dips, Meatloaves and Stews - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818TdrIJmwL.jpg) ![McCormick Culinary Dehydrated Chef's Cut Onion, 2 lb - One 2 Pound Container of Dehydrated Chopped Onions, Use as Fresh Onion Substitute - Perfect in Soups, Dips, Meatloaves and Stews - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lm5BFRnJS.jpg) ![McCormick Culinary Dehydrated Chef's Cut Onion, 2 lb - One 2 Pound Container of Dehydrated Chopped Onions, Use as Fresh Onion Substitute - Perfect in Soups, Dips, Meatloaves and Stews - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81c8oMr+AXL.jpg) ![McCormick Culinary Dehydrated Chef's Cut Onion, 2 lb - One 2 Pound Container of Dehydrated Chopped Onions, Use as Fresh Onion Substitute - Perfect in Soups, Dips, Meatloaves and Stews - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718g+IfntbL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the shelf life if item is repackaged in Mylar bags with oxygen absorbers** A: McCormick Culinary Chopped Onions have a 36 month shelf life from the date of manufacture. ~ Erica **Q: What is the dried to fresh ratio ? 1/4 cup = 1 cup fresh ?** A: 1/4 cup McCormick Culinary Chef's Cut Onion = 1 cup fresh chopped onion. ~ Erica **Q: These have a strange smell?
