This is the thread where you post about caramelizing onions and also how to pronounce caramel I'm currently caramelizing two big yellow onions that will then be used for making a "freedom" onion dip for chips that will be enjoyed while watching football. How do you like to caramelize onions and what do you like to use them for? Do you have any tips and tricks? What is your preferred amount of butter and or oil to use when you are caramelizing onions? This is the thread to post all about caramelizing onions in

Karough-Maille. I refuse to cook any food that doesn't have a frying onions part in the recipe. Why would you deprive yourself of that smell?

I like to use a cast iron pan when I am caramelizing onions. The cast iron pan is, in my opinion, the best option of pan to use in this situation

Probably yes but also a good heavy stainless steel pan will give very similar results and you won't have to soak it in the sink for two days after.

Crispy fried onions are ultimate for Burger but caramelized is close behind

Fried onions do be pretty amazing. If i had a fryer and it wasn't a pain in the rear end I'd probably do that over caramelizing too.

Onions are caramelized and mixed into the rest of the dip. Now it has to go into the fridge for 2 hours.

Try this some time: Put a stick of butter in a crockpot. Fill the pot with as many sliced onions as you can. Close lid, turn on, come back 12-14 hours later.

If I am going through the effort to caramelize onions, its always a solid 5lbs and use my big cast iron pan. I've tried a few of the 'hacks' like adding baking soda but they all sucked, sometimes you gotta put in the effort for a good result. I like to add them in layers with shredded or sliced thin potatoes and cooked in lots of butter.

kazr posted:20 to 30 minutes low and slow that ain't caramel I read a good recipe blog (rare I know) a year or so ago by someone who had looked up as many 'hacks' to make quick caramelized onions as they could find (add water, add baking soda, oven not stovetop, etc) and then tested them all. They concluded that even the ones that sort-of worked only reduced the cooking time by like 5%. Jamsque fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Nov 17, 2025 |

kazr posted:20 to 30 minutes low and slow when I worked at a pizza joint we made large batches of cumions. Sliced super thin in a gigantic slicer machine, mixed with olive oil, then in the pizza over for 45 mins to and hour with a few periodic stirs. turned out pretty well. but yeah, it’s a lot of work for th home cook

I make caramel dipped onions every year. If you do it right they look just like caramel apples and people get a real hoot out of biting into one and finding the onion surprise
