Caramelized onions

Famous blog post exposing recipe writers under estimating how log it takes to caramelize onions. Heard about it on an episode of Sporkfull.

How I do it.

  • Heat steel pan (not letting my carbon steel or cast iron get messed up from the acidic onions) to med-high heat
  • Sliced onions
  • Add oil
  • Let oil react cooking temp
  • Add onions
  • From until starting to get brown then lower heat
  • Once quite dark add salt

Whole process takes 30-45min.
