I have been cooking food in the Instant Pot for some time now, and I've noticed a certain phenomenon when it comes to onions: unless you leave them in thick chunks, they are almost always reduced to to mushy, barely noticeable strands that dissolve with a glance. This isn't great if you want the vegetable to shine, but it's awesome if you want to infuse your dish with oniony goodness.

A fried allium is the perfect finishing touch. Whether on top of a medium-rare steak, a creamy potato soup, or a gooey bowl of macaroni and cheese (or like, a salad or something), fried onions, leeks, garlic and the like provide crispy texture and salty, umami-rich, slightly pungent flavour. In short, they are desirable. They also just got a bit more convenient, thanks to this microwave method from Cook's Illustrated.

Bringing chips and dip to a food-centric gathering might seem like a bit of a cop-out -- but, if you make the dip yourself, you just may be crowned unofficial snack monarch of the event.

It's hard to improve on an onion ring, but I dare say the folks at Tastemade have done just that. Instead of dipping the allium loops in a batter and then frying them, they have gone low-carb (and high-taste) by wrapping them in strips of tasty bacon and baking them.
