“cook the onions on medium heat for a few minutes until they caramelise” statement made by someone completely delusional. “A few minutes”? A few minutes is what it took to create someone so blissfully unaware about onions, that years later he has the audacity to suggest that it takes “a few minutes” to caramelise onions. And that’s what you get in a few minutes. An unsatisfying, excuse of a final result.
Onions will make you question physics, reality and the space-time continuum. That’s how long it takes to caramelise them.
You are the hero we need! Please take the time to wear a cape today.
I have a gas stovetop, the big 5kW at full blast might do it in like 4-5 minutes (be generous with the olive oil, salt, blend it all, then do not stir at all, for like 2 min. Then stir up the cooked ones from underneath, regularly) I guess those induction abominations might do that too.
You can't fry onions on medium heat. Or yes it'll take 30 minutes.
Nah sorry the gas stove is the abomination here. ~~Infuction~~ Induction ftw anytime.
Now that's a hill worth dying on lol 😂
Whoops. The misstype or the precedent?
I don’t think you know how to caramelise onions. No salt. Check Jaqcue Pepin, or the classic Escoffier recipe. That’s how you caramelise onions.
Yeah low and slow is how you do it. Going higher is browning them not caramelising.
No way. Maybe you'll get nice grilled onions, but caramelized is an entirely different chemical state. It's not possible to convert them that quickly, no matter how good your stove is. At most you're just burning them.
Works very well for me 🤷🏼♀️ try to add more oil, it distributes the heat nicely.
I thought that was sautéed?
