Boiler onions are small in size, averaging 3-5 centimeters in diameter, and are conical to spherical in shape. The edible bulb has layers of dry, papery skin that easily flakes off when touched and the layers are tightly wrapped over the surface of the bulb. Underneath the dry skin, there are multiple layers of flesh that are juicy, firm, and can range in color from red, white, to yellow. Boiler onions, depending on the specific variety and the soil grown in, are crisp with a pungent flavor when raw, but when cooked, they develop a tender texture and become milder in flavor.
