a raw onion a day keeps the doctor (and everyone else) away

[CondoleezzaProtege]

They both give me headache and are also acidic esp. while raw, so regardless of health benefits I avoid when possible. A little bit mixed into things like pasta is fine.

Sauteing doesn’t require 500F temps.

[BenLurkin]

A proper mire poix is made without caramelizing the onions, etc.

But caramelizing them is good as a base for a heartier sauce.

[Red Badger]

It doesn’t? Dang! I’ve been doing it wrong!................

"...sulfur compounds significantly promote heat-induced trans-isomerization of UFAs in vegetable oils..

So, just cook them in butter - problem solved.

Where did you read the 500°F temps? I saw 140°C or 150°C mentioned, which is 275-300°F.

Shame and trans-fatty acids on you.

“

150 deg C is about 300 deg F.

Putting pepper on your food will cause it to remain in your kidneys and plug it up - you will die a long, lingering death - alone.

Or so they said, less dramatically, some years back.

I would have been dead years ago. But my big Irish family which has always used onions in every dish and has used garlic for several decades, is still around no cancer, we are all alive and healthy, mom is 90 her five kids are all alive and healthy. My five kids are alive and healthy. Its like they figured out fresh air is bad for you.

The authors of this trash can GF themselves.

NOBODY is going to take away my sauteed alliums. NOBODY!

I guess this is the new fad. Such bullship. Soon we will be down to Soylent Green/

Who is cooking their garlic and onions at high heat?

They are suppose to be cooked in butter which makes them soft and succulent.

[Billthedrill]

The article says they should be OK “under normal cooking conditions” - which at my house are a charcoal grill and a blowtorch.

If you’ve noticed all kinds of mainstream good stuff is being attacked by these so-called “studies”, authored by “scientists” with strange sounding names. They will have all of us eating bugs come hell or high water after they convince us everything we’ve been eating for so many years has suddenly been found to have the capacity to kill us.
