Never seen onions foam up before like this… what’s happening?


Just olive oil and a white onion… It's only been on the counter for a few days, tasted normal. They did this the whole cook

Ignore the feet

    1) How old is your oil? Foaming can result from old or contaminated oil. 2) barefoot while frying…feeling brave are we?

    The foaming seen when frying finely diced onions is a normal chemical reaction. The high water content in onions turns into steam, creating bubbles. These bubbles are stabilized and trapped by natural soap-like compounds (saponins) and proteins released from the onion cells as they cook. The sugars also released make the liquid in the pan thicker, helping to hold the foam. A finer dice and higher heat will make the foaming more intense. So, high heat + fine dice = foam.
