mushy,anyone tried this?

Save your money. There's a common misconception about
"sweet" onions like Vidalias, Texas Sweets or Walla Wallas.
People think they're sweeter than any other ones and it's
not true. All onions have those compounds that make us cry
and that irritate mouths. Sweet onions just have a lot less
of them. But...

Cooking onions eliminates those compounds. So after *any*
onion gets hot it's, for all intents and purposes, a sweet
onion. If you've ever chopped a cooked onion, you know that
it doesn't make you cry.

Use any sort of white or yellow onion.

All these "sweet" onions just have less flavor, IMO. For
cooking onions I look for short squat regular white/yellow
onions rather than any Vidallias, 1015's or Maui's - though
they are fine for raw preps like salads and such.

I think the sweet onions are exceptionally inferior for
onion rings.
