If this is Kitchen 101 to you, then please just pass on this post. I’ve actually had a few comments on the onions I served on a slider, so I thought I’d write up a post on How To Caramelize Onions.
My best advice comes in one word……………
SLOWLY……
VERY VERY SLOWLY!
It takes at least an hour to get a big pan of onions to caramelize. And you really can’t hurry along the process. If you turn up the heat, you end up by browning them, which is not what you want. You want the sugars to slowly caramelize, making the onions sweet and almost buttery.
