Looked really good Russ ... I spray the bottom first then place in the air fryer .. For 5 mins and open then I spray the top with oil and let it continue on . if you spray while the flour is uncooked it can take the flour off ... Great job and thanks for sharing Russ
Rus, that blooming onion looks good and I love that dipping sauce ! Nothing wrong at all with crispy tips ! Great first cook from an Air Fryer ! Nicely done !
Loved the outtake at the end! Looked really tasty Rus! You won't quite get that oily fried goodness in an air fryer, but you're right, it ain't bad. I always appreciate your honesty on your videos and I'm glad you're having fun with your son on the boat. Let's see some more fishing!!! Oh, check out the Air Fryer Queen "Booger" LOL. Cheers to ya brother!!!
We love those at Outback and always order one. We have an AF and now always use it for French Fries. So much easier and very good. Wings are good too. Takes some practice to learn what works best. The BO looked pretty good. Semi successful is good for starters. LOL Y'all have a great time.
Dukes mayonnaise and Heinz ketchup the best. Love blooming onions that didn't look that bad bet it was still good even though it wasn't cooked in a fryer.
I see lots of the onion slicers on ebay for a decent price 15 to 30 dollars , im going to have to get me one , looks like an awesome tool , as for the air fryer , im still a hold out using my cast iron and deep fryer lol , one of these days im going to break down and buy one , great video ..!!!
Thanks! Yeah those slicers make short order of making these blooming onions. Hey I don't blame you about the cast iron dutch oven for deep frying. Real frying just can't be beat. Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!
I was screaming at my phone to use a smaller bowl😂 You can add a bit of water to top off the buttermilk.This looks easy enough. I'll give it a try. But i just used a paring knife to slice the onion. Jealous of your son living on a boat. I love the water❤ just noticed how old this video is😊. But heck, bloomin onions dont change!
It looked better than I’d of thought, Rus 👍🏼. Applause 👏 for getting that done on the boat. I always enjoy watching your stuff. I see you’re human too lol. I forgot some stuff in my last video and it reminded me of that when you forgot the oil lol. Hope you’re well, brother! Cheers 🍻
Yeah it kinda surprised me too lol, but deep fried is so much better! With that said I will be playing around with the air fryer when I’m down on the boat just to see what I can do with it, if my son doesn’t wear it out first 👍
This was a great video demonstration. I like how resourceful you are. Missing a part? No problem, I got something else that will do the trick. I have that same gadget and used it once. I do not care for the labor intensive effort involved in preparing an onion for the magical deep fry goodness. At the end of the day, Bloomin Onions are no different than regular Onion Rings. Just looks prettier on a plate in the center of the table.
My wife has a serious illness, so she finds happiness where she can and became ADDICTED to the Outback Bloomin' Onion. It was cheaper to make them at home and much healthier in an air fryer. They are a bit different, but she can't get enough of them. Pro tip, use Frank's Red Hot sauce instead of ketchup in the dipping sauce for a more authentic flavor.
I really love blooming onions as well. Yes these are different but still not bad at all and I'm sure much healthier. Thanks for the tip with the Frank's Red Hot Sauce. I'll give that a try and taste the difference it makes.
Great job Rus.... I do an unbloomin onion... cut into petals all the way thru, it's easier to deal with just petals than the whole onion, and uses much less grease, buttermilk and flour. Obviously I don't care about presentation, just good eats.
Good vid Rus. That was more like a Bloom'in HOT Onion with all that Cayenne pepper, lol. I thought it came out fantastic and that air fryer should work out great on board your sailboat. Thanks for sharing and cheers to ya mate!
Thanks William! It really wasn't hot at all, but had just a nice subtle warmth that I really like. Yeah, my son will get a lot of use out of it and I'll play around with it more when I'm there at the boat. Cheers!
Pssssssssssssst :) Rus...My most challenging cook in the air fryer is the blooming onion...then it was burnt ends ..but I did by golly! I really need to get my hands on that slicer though for real. Air fryer is genius for the boat though..acts like a microwave as well . Nicely done Rus, HI T!
I actually watched your onion video before even attempting this Booger. Yes it’s perfect for the boat! My son said his frozen pizza rolls turned out perfect 😂
Those are great for a lot of things. But it is amazing for leftovers. Pizza, seafood, all kinds of stuff actually taste better as leftovers in one of these
Bahaha @ the ending.... I haven't had a blooming onion in years, this makes me want to go to Outback. Air fryers can come in very handy, I'm sure you guys will get plenty of enjoyment out of it.
LOL, I think you are one of the few that stayed to the very end to see that 😂Derek is already finding a lot of uses for it like cooking frozen pizza rolls 🤣
Well okay I thought that version is still fantastic...I mean you in the boat after all. So much safer to make some airfry creations. I so much liked the cutting devise you used ! I've only had blooming onion few times in my life....so this version would work for me better...since I really don't know any better ! and with that dipper...I would totally love it ! Yummy yum 💗
Yeah, it wasn't bad at all, I just know from experience in cooking these that a real deep fried onion is much better, but I had to at least try it to see. The dipping sauce however is excellent and goes well with seafood too. Thanks Paivi, I appreciate it!
Hey Russ...Have you checked on a Ninja Foodie? It’s an air fryer & insta pot all in 1.... It does so much more than the air fryer. I hardly use my stove any more... It would be great on the boat....
Long time since posted this video, but I have to add that the onion chopper is now 94.00 on Amazon which is ridiculous. But on eBay there's places for less than 20.00 and about 9.00 shipping and handling. Just in case someone comes across this.
Im gonna leave the bloomin onion to outback, but try some frys, chicken, even steak....looking forward to the reviews. I cooked all of the above...I was most surprised at the steak.
Thanks Sean! I’ll be doing other things with the air fryer, but I think I’ll keep on deep frying my onions lol! That sauce is really good! Would be great with fried seafood as well. Cheers 🍻
Yeah, they were really popular around 20 years ago, and a certain steakhouse chain called Outback still has them on their menu. I love em! Thanks for watching Angie!
Hey man do you think that method would work in the oven if you tried using fine Breadcrumbs instead of flour? (Breadcrumbs can help things to crisp up a lot more in the oven in my experience)
I've tried making a bloom n onion at home with air fryer, deep fryer, pan fried, oven cooked, it's just not possible. It's one of those things when you have a craving for you just go out and get it, indulge and enjoy every last calorie. Unless you have a massive commercial deep fryer at home, there's no way to cook it, unless you do it in sections, then it doesn't come out looking like it should. Air fryer imo is good for crisping foods, but not for replacing deep friend stuff. another example, air fried chicken tastes pretty bad in the air fryer, I'm sure you'll find this out yourself when you make it. But stuff like french fries, certain breads, even grilled cheese is great. One piece of advice tho, DO NOT ever air fry bacon. The aftermath is such a mess, it's just not worth it. I think overall airfryers are pretty gimmicky, and good for millennials, but now, I am 35, I've learned that cooking simply just requires a heat source, and all these fancy gadgets are just to improve the convenience of cooking for people. One thing I did, was pack up the old deep fryers. They were so easy to use, food was made in less than 10 mins.. fries, burritos, chicken tenders, nuggets, egg rolls, but jeeze it's so bad for you. If you wanna eat fried food, eat it out once in a while. I don't recommend trying to make a bloom n onion in the air fryer. Aesthetically yours came out great, but judging by your reaction, it couldn't have tasted that good. My best advice, although I am no chef, just an average normal guy. The best cooking gadget that serves for everything and cleans up in a breeze is my Oster conventional oven. I'm not sure the model, but it's a huge silver one, it usually sells for $100 year round, and has great reviews pretty much everywhere. It does everything that my Phillips airfryer did, and much more. Sorry for the long/ranting reply, which I doubt anyone will read anyways xD
Great video as always Rus. I follow you on another account. Made this account to start posting videos on. I'm still trying to figure out when I'll start posting videos since someone got sticky fingers with my last grill. But keep up the great work.
Not too far off there guy! Imagine having to bread those things back to back within a minute and a half. Takes about 3-4 min to cook in 350F° oil. P.S, a minute and a half is slow for an experienced bloom guy.
Some well done tips on a blooming onion is just fine if it means avoiding mixing flames, flammables, boats and open water.
Looked really good Russ ... I spray the bottom first then place in the air fryer .. For 5 mins and open then I spray the top with oil and let it continue on . if you spray while the flour is uncooked it can take the flour off ... Great job and thanks for sharing Russ
Rus, that blooming onion looks good and I love that dipping sauce ! Nothing wrong at all with crispy tips ! Great first cook from an Air Fryer ! Nicely done !
Thanks Kent, I sure appreciate it!
That's a good looking Bloomin' Onion! We find that we're using our air fryer more and more for things that we might have pan or deep fried :)
The real deep fried is so much better looking and tasting to for that matter but I am wanting to try some things with the air fryer
Loved the outtake at the end! Looked really tasty Rus! You won't quite get that oily fried goodness in an air fryer, but you're right, it ain't bad. I always appreciate your honesty on your videos and I'm glad you're having fun with your son on the boat. Let's see some more fishing!!! Oh, check out the Air Fryer Queen "Booger" LOL. Cheers to ya brother!!!
LOL, my granddaughter said I should show that as a blooper so I did. Thanks for checking it out Troy, I sure appreciate it! Cheers brother!
Enjoyed that my friend! I did some onion straws using your technique tonight. It’s what we will use in Dallas this weekend. Thanks, bud!
Glad I could help brother! I hope y’all win!!!
Thank you!
We love those at Outback and always order one. We have an AF and now always use it for French Fries. So much easier and very good. Wings are good too. Takes some practice to learn what works best. The BO looked pretty good. Semi successful is good for starters. LOL Y'all have a great time.
Yeah I really like them too. The air fryer is mainly for my son to cook with but I’ll play around with it every now and then
That looks fantastic
Awesome video again!!! I love your way to approach nee stuff. It was amazing result! Keep doing these videos, you have fans all the way from Finland!
I can certainly understand the use of an air fryer on a boat because of safety issues but if I’m on solid ground I got to have some hot grease rollin.
My God, Rus. This looks so good. I've always wanted to do this. This is gonna be a go to recipe. This looks amazing
Thanks Russ! I appreciate you checking it out brother 👍
Boat life!!! Awesome!!!!
That blooming onion looked real good!!
Air frying sounds like the best way to go when on a boat!!! 👍🏼😃👍🏼
Hi Russ that BLOOMING ONION looked great for your first try thanks for sharing.
Good, an air fryer recipe for an onion, good looking onion
This guy is great it's worth watching great job thank you
I appreciate that!
Dukes mayonnaise and Heinz ketchup the best. Love blooming onions that didn't look that bad bet it was still good even though it wasn't cooked in a fryer.
Hi Rus, if I'm on a boat I would be so happy to have a cold one and one of those blooming onions !
Those three really do pair up nicely Ron. Thanks for checking it out, I appreciate it!
Thanks. I've been looking for a core tool like that. I love blooming onions as well.
I see lots of the onion slicers on ebay for a decent price 15 to 30 dollars , im going to have to get me one , looks like an awesome tool , as for the air fryer , im still a hold out using my cast iron and deep fryer lol , one of these days im going to break down and buy one , great video ..!!!

Put foil on top first half of cooking

I have an air fryer, I haven’t used it yet. You did a good job!
Very nice video 👍👍👍
Joe from SCC here. Great cook Rus. I love my air fryer I use it all the time. You did really good on this one
Thanks Joe! I’m gonna play around with it some
I really like your core tool. I might buy one of those.
I call it a success, considering people said it couldn't be do
This was a great video demonstration. I like how resourceful you are. Missing a part? No problem, I got something else that will do the trick. I have that same gadget and used it once.

True you can still buy a used one for 58 dollars on Amazon but you can get a chefs choice one for 10 dollars and just use a knife to cut the onion
That looks great. I don't think you could do a better blooming onion with an air fryer, especially on a boat no less.
Russ, Hey great video Awesome lookin Bloom thanks for sharing.!.!.!.
I think that bloomin' onion looks pretty good to me. Cheers, Russ!
If someone lives on ya boat!!! It becomes a yacht!!! Lol
We have an air fryer and love it. Fried jalapenos are the way to go!!!
@@boaterbil damn lol

I usually just do thin onion rings now days using this same recipe

Thanks William! It really wasn't hot at all, but had just a nice subtle warmth that I really like. Yeah, my son will get a lot of use out of it and I'll play around with it more when I'm there at the boat. Cheers!
I thought the onion looked great coming out of an air fryer. I don't own a air fryer myself but one day I might. Awesome video..
Pssssssssssssst :) Rus...My most challenging cook in the air fryer is the blooming onion...then it was burnt ends ..but I did by golly! I really need to get my hands on that slicer though for real. Air fryer is genius for the boat though..acts like a microwave as well . Nicely done Rus, HI T!

Good job not bad for an air fryer !
You beat me to the review bro. They sent me one of those air fryers. I've tired that recipe before and it's pretty close. Looks great bro!
Deep fried is much better but there is a ton of other things this air fryer will work great on
Those are great for a lot of things. But it is amazing for leftovers. Pizza, seafood, all kinds of stuff actually taste better as leftovers in one of these

Smoky Ribs BBQ yeah I’m with ya on the deep fried onions too lol !!
MO here!! Hell yes!!! That’s it!! 👍🍺
Hey Mo, thanks for checking it out
I’ve never seen a bloomin onion before in real life apart from RUclips. Very interesting
Yeah, they were really popular around 20 years ago, and a certain steakhouse chain called Outback still has them on their menu. I love em! Thanks for watching Angie!

Perfection'_____✌️✌️
hi, but where did you buy your onion cutter, thanks
Maybe a lower temp for a longer time? Tater tots are really good!
Maybe so, may be worth trying just to see. Thanks for watching!
Ive got a blooming onion maker as well.
I think I would rather have an instapot. don't know if it would do a onion though..
I have one of those here at the house. No it want do an onion
id motorboat those onions
I'm pretty sure that looked like a Table Spoon , not tea spoon. the baking soda in the buttermilk.
Don't let video footage fool you. It always looks like more than it is on video. Don't know why but it does
I too try to eat food fresh off the heat, ouch!
I despise air fryers. They are nothing more than a tiny convection oven, and the ozone taste and smell, in my opinion, never goes away.
I prefer old fashioned deep frying any day of the week. May not be as healthy but sure does taste good
Ebay has them for $25
Not too far off there guy! Imagine having to bread those things back to back within a minute and a half. Takes about 3-4 min to cook in 350F° oil.
P.S, a minute and a half is slow for an experienced bloom guy.
Small win? It’s better than no food
back yard chef ...
The Gulf of Mexico is in my backyard
Onions cut like that scare me
Who love's to cook
👇👇👇
Whyyyyy couldn't you just pick off that bad piece of onion who wants to get stuck eating that, and you don't use egg in your wet ingredients?
having a hard time pushing that onion lol
Yeah that first one was stubborn!
@@SmokyRibsBBQ looks good tho buddy
Nah...burnt and dry. Stick to oil.
Couldn't agree more
Sorry, stopped watching after you mentioned air fryer.
No problem
"Air fryer," "avocado oil," "GOOD FOR YOU?!?" Your not gonna start doin vegan bacon or anything are ya rus?! Lol
