you can buy them dried. (already cooked)most supermarkets.
waitrose sell ready chopped but not cooked onions, frozen or chilled.
Supermarkets occasionally stock tinned fried onions (Layzee brand???) but the place to go is to an Asian/West Indian shop where you can buy huge bags of dry fried onion, delicious added in large handfuls to curries.
why would you want to buy cooked onions?

Why does anybody buy any tinned veg?

I'd buy the cooked ones in the jar but they are so moreish that they rarely reach the dish -go with Whiffy --he really does know what he's speaking about..

That brought back memories for me when that was a treat buying a jar of fried onions and wolfing them -kids hated onions but loved them -thanks for that wee trip down memory lane :)
I will after the news.

If you really can't be bothered to chop and fry onions with all the oill spitting over the cooker, here is the ultimately effort-free curry:

Pour a jar of Pataks Vindaloo Sauce into a saucepan.
Add a tin of chopped tomatoes and heat to simmering.
Add several large handfuls of dried fried onion (see question)
Chopped chillies to taste (you can get these dried as well)
About 5 minutes before serving, add 2 boxes of Lidl frozen King Prawns.

The result is a fantastic curry, the effort involved practically zero, 3 portions to freeze down, and just one saucepan to wash up.
