Frequently Asked Questions

Why aren't my onions turning crispy?

Slice them thinly and evenly, fry on medium heat without crowding the pan, and stop when they are golden brown. Spread them on tissue paper, because they crisp up further as they cool.

How do I store birista?

Let it cool completely, then keep it in an airtight container. It stays crisp for a few days at room temperature and longer in the fridge.
