Who's fucking carmelizing onions?

Crispy onions are next level, have nothing on caramelized

Hey guys. I am no cook and I don't speak English natively. What the heck is caramelising onions?

I thought caramelising is when the sugar liquifies and you get caramel. So caramelising onions would be to cover them in lots of sugar and cooking them until they are covered in caramel.

But it sounds like you are just deep roasting them.

I had someone arrive at a BBQ, saw me frying some onions, and ask "Are you going to caramelise those onions?"

Yes mate. The onions I'm frying for a few minutes while the burgers cook, gonna be nice and caramelised in seconds, just you watch.

I always say if you want to seem like a genius in the kitchen just sauté some onions

Remember, it takes at least 45 minutes to caramelize an onion. If you're doing it for less than 45 minutes, then you're just cooking it.

30 minutes

We start our caramelized onions in a covered nonstick skillet over high heat with ¾ of cup water. The water and steam help the onions quickly soften. Then we remove the lid, lower the heat to medium-high, and press the softened onions into the bottom and sides of the skillet to allow for maximum contact with the hot pan. Instead of finishing with sugar or honey as many recipes call for, we add baking soda, which speeds up the reaction that converts flavorless inulin (a polysaccharide present in onions) to fructose.

anathema to this community but relevant

Now I want to try some apples and onions with a caramel glaze.

"Who's caramelizing onions? Probably someone who knows the secret to happiness—turning tears into sweetness, one slow stir at a time! Or maybe they're just trying to make their kitchen smell like a five-star restaurant while secretly burning their grilled cheese." 😄 --- Bostock Electronics

Gonna hand out caramel onions for Halloween now.

You can caramelize onions in five minutes, but the onions won't be very satisfied afterwards

no I don't think you have to fuck them

Unless your cooking Italian. I had an Italian tell me once, it's either garlic or onions but not both together

Y'all, pinch of baking soda and you'll have caramelized onions in no time flat. It's amazing.

It took me like at least an hour the other night for french onion soup.
