Tried this once after townsends (cooking yt channel that makes old timey food) said that it was really easy and good. Was easy. Was also terrible, do not recommend. Can bake a potato for exactly the same effort and get something 10 times better.
On the grill it’s pretty good, but it does take a long time, and you hollow out the very middle and jam a bunch of butter in there, then tinfoil the whole thing. Keep it at high temp for a full hour. But yeah since learning how to do it, I’ve done it 0 times, so
I bake onions all the time and they are really good, but the onion you choose makes a big difference. For potatoes you get different results as well but it’s all still pretty much hot starchy goodness. For onions you want something with a decently robust skin on it and mot something like a modern yellow onion which has a pretty thin outer layer and will probably overcook/dry on the outside before the inside gets nice and cooked.
Put that onion in a pan in a medium oven, just like that, for an hour or so depending on how big it is, then peel it and add some salt.
Yum.
