What's the website where the blooming onion is??
I soaked the onion like the hungry girl website said to and then just sprayed my baking dish with Pam. I even got my hands "dirty" by spreading the carbquik mixture between each onion petal...but it STILL all ran off! Oh well......fewer calories this way as half the carbquik I used...I threw away! haha! STILL GUD though!!!!!!!!
