Traditional Caramelized Onions - Worth it?

Jump into this cooking video as I dig into the tasty world of caramelized onions. We're looking at the classic slow-cook method, which takes about 4 hours, and pitting it against a quick version. I'll break down the how's and why's of caramelizing and give you tips on picking the right onions. Plus, I’ll talk about whether you should add stuff like sugar, wine, or vinegar.

    There's a much faster way to get to traditional caramelized onions. Look up the technique from cooks illustrated. During the first step you can add water and increase the heat to max, boiling away the liquid making the onions release their moisture and cook efficiently. Then the onions are ready to brown faster than your fast method, but also properly cooked and jammy.

    Yeah this method works great with almost anything. You can fry peppers for 15-20 minutes trying to get them soft and broken down, or use this water method and do it in a fraction of the time.

    Why not cover the onions in the beginning to help them steam/release liquid then pour out the liquid into a bowl then use the liquid to deglaze the pan while the onions are caramelizing?

    Hello, I’ve been looking for a better caramelized onion recipe. I’ve been using the pan method but knew there must be a better method as I have had better at restaurants. Thankfully the algorithm brought me to your channel. I’ve never seen the traditional method used. I tried it and it resulted in restaurant quality onions. I wanted to thank you personally and I have subscribed. Is a borscht video a possibility in the future? Cheers.

That's exactly what I aim for. 😊 Also, thank you so much for subscribing! As for borscht, that's a great idea. In fact, my mom cooks borscht almost every weekend, so it's been a part of my life since I can remember. I'll definitely make a video about it someday. Stay tuned!

    So glad you found the video enlightening! 🌟The maximum time I stored onions is about 2 weeks - it's really so tasty that it didn't last longer than two weeks)). It has such a rich flavor that I didn't notice any loss of taste at all. But be sure to put the onions in a tightly sealed container or jar because it's super concentrated and the fridge will smell of onions.
