Can I make it without Air Fryer Lid?
Yes you can. The best option for you is to make the onion rings in the oven to add a little crisp.
Bake them at 425 °F for 13 minutes or until golden brown.
If you really want to make them in your Instant Pot by using the pressure cook function, you can do it by following these steps.
- Prepare the onions rings as mentioned in the recipe card.
- Take your instant pot and place a trivet in it.
- Pour a cup of water into the bottom of the pot.
- Place a parchment sheet on the trivet.
- Transfer the onion rings onto the sheet.
- Cover the pot and set it to high pressure for 2 minutes.
- When cooking time ends, do a quick release and serve.
Please note you won't get crispy onion rings that way.
Can I double up the recipe?
Of course, for a bigger crowd use more onion and make more batches.
Place them in one layer for the best results, but if you need to make more you can place a few more on top as you can see in the photo below.
You can make around 10 onion rings at a time, for a 8-quart Instant Pot.

I need to make something like this for a child's birthday party but need to make about 4 times more. Can the recipe be quadrupled, and cayenne pepper powder be added for some spice?
Can hot pepper like cayenne be added to the batter to make them spicy hot?
My mom always made onion balls when I was growing up. Can the same batter be put on them?
some of us 'poor folk' don't have air fryers or instapots...i appreciate the alternative methods like oven baking or stove top frying/cooking.
reliable but i was confused when the recipe said "baking powder" when the instructions said "baking soda"
Is it baking soda (what all the steps say) or baking powder (what’s in the ingredient list and video)? Thanks!
Sorry about the inconsistency, I actually forget which I used, but I know you could actually use either baking powder or baking soda for this recipe and they will still turn out great.
Did u leave out a step?
I don't think so...
I think the previous comment might be when to put the onions in the milk mixture. But there's a video...so we got it.
Oh I see that now, I will update the recipe. Thank you!
You need to add the milk and such to the flour mix after you first coat the onion rings in the dry ingredients...then add the wet stuff, make batter and dunk the onion rings.
