There is another way.

1.place chopped onions into bowl.

2. Pour cola over them and let rest for 30min,.drain and empty after.

3. Heat pan on a low heat with teaspoon oil.

4. Place into pan and cook until brown.

5.Enjoy!your have beautiful tasting onions.

[illuminatioracle]

[yorkshirerepresenter]

[mryjn420090]

I want to carmalize you

[mikeymike3232]

wow shes hot...

[informationplz]

Long slow cooking is crucial to get the rich complex sweetness of caramelized onions. In a pinch though, I have found the quick method works if you add turbinado sugar syrup. I am a pro. cook for many years and when you need shortcuts to get somewhere, you compromise.Saute on's letting them brown on med heat for a minute, then low (put in a 350 oven for maybe ten min.). After that, saute high heat and deglaze with H2O, then coat with syrup, reduce. It works when ya suddenly run out of them!!

[tnguyen318]

There are lots of people who enjoy cooking. I myself like fast food. Easy. Done Deal and quick. Clean. No need to wash dishes. No need to clean up. No need to smell the house. 

[StopStealingVideos]

Best Caramelized onion you can get is from the bottom of a cast iron sizzle pan with ya chicken tikka or tandoori chicken or mixed grill you get from ya local pub Awesome.! lol dont care how long thay tek well nice lol,,,

[mgasinungalingkayo]

this is another stupid video who said 20-30 minutes to caramelize an onion. nobody wants to cook an onion that long unless you dont have al ife .

[MrSmashthecash]

@mgasinungalingkayo  typical idiot mcdonalds fryer.

[Metsada007]

It takes about 90 minutes to make real caramelized onions and it's hard work. You certainly DON'T use a non-stick pan, you keep scraping the bottom of the pan just before it burns to get that deep flavor.

[tjguill]

@Metsada007 I second this comment. I liek to spend all day carmelizing my onions...and I do a ton of them at a time...cause it is so much work. But the more time your spend making them the better they taste. Oh so good. Also, you can turn up the heat at first when they still have a lot of water content, but stir often.

[DeepestSleep]

Yeah, that's how I've learned to make them, through trial and error. That's actually why I'm here on this page, I was looking to see if there is a faster way to do them, because mine take so long!

[Metsada007]

@DeepestSleep

Yes, sadly I can't be bothered most of the time while I really like the incredible flavor of caramelized onions. There must be another way?

[DeepestSleep]

There's probably some kind of trick using a pressure cooker or something like that!

[ajanixa]

that'll boil the hell out of them and make them stick all around the pressure cooker pot ... nope, not a cool idea

[DeepestSleep]

Well, I wouldn't want that! I've never actually used a pressure cooker before, so I'm not at all familiar with them. But thanks for the heads up anyhow!

[JagoReedJones]

20-30 minutes is the way to go.

[LDKBBAB]

Medium high heat...splash of canola oil, tsp of butter, cook for about five to ten minutes. Onion will become golded brown and tranparent...in other words beautiful, cooked through, and fucking tasty!

[realeyz]

Many of the recipes I have come across for carmelized onions say to cook them slowly in the low-med heat (10-15 min) and then add brown sugar, sometimes vinegar or possibly a cooking wine and then continue to cook until all melted and browned with sauce being somewhat thick. Thoughts?

[33anthonyd]

It takes hours to make good caramelized onions with deep flavor and good texture. If you think otherwise, you are a hack or you don't realize you are making sauteed onions.

[soulfunkcity]

@33anthonyd I wouldn't say hours, that is an over exaggeration. You can make them in about 45minutes. I use some butter, salt sugar, but it really depends how you want to do them. You cold add balsamic vinegar, thyme e.t.c If you are cooking them for hours then they will end up turning them into a slimy mess.

[matthewcanida1]

@33anthonyd Who has "hours" to caramelize onions?...you, sir, are ridiculous.

Maybe a hundred onions would take "hours"...restaurants would go broke paying some "onion specialist" to do it. =)

[33anthonyd]

I said it takes hours to make good caramelized onions. Can you make browned onions it in less time? Yes, but they suck. If you think otherwise, you are a home cook who doesn't know better or a hack. I do work at a restaurant. And here is what we do: cook a bus tub of sliced onions for at least four hours over a low heat in butter.  Our expert onion cooker (AKA our dishwasher) comes over and stirs them periodically. And yes, we had to give him a raise when he became an "onion specialist."

[didthatreallyjust]

@33anthonyd whyd u watch this if u already knew? just saying

[Meatcake33]

LOL! 20 to 30 minutes, i playback to make sure i heard the right thing! i rather on the stove on high and like it takes like probarbly only 5 minutes

[phil23459]

Seriously 20 to 30 min!!!

You absolutely don't need to wait that long. Simply put high heat and stir very often so it doesn't burn or stick. It wont loose the taste or anything. The only difference between low and high is how often you need to stir them.

So put it on high stay close and it will take 5 min instead of 30min.

[Megawoodi]

thats a very bad idea. and there is a taste factor in that. The simple outcome is that you end up with blackened onions with the inside still crisp.. causing a bitter taste. You have to use lowheat because the onions need to cook all the way through, if you keep stirring them for 5 mins straight as you said, they will not cook.

[phil23459]

Yeah sorry I though what I was doing was called caramelize but I looked it up and when I saw it was suppose to taste sweet that's when I knew it wasn't the same thing.

You are also right the way I do it does give a bit of bitter taste but at the same time it also gives a charcoal taste to it which is very good to go with burgers for exemple.

So my bad again caramelize wasn't what I though

[shredtolive666]

that wiil just be sauted onions for carmilized onions it about slow cooking them on low heat to bring out the flavours alot more try it and ull taste the diffrence

[pirate259]

The easiest way to caramelise onions is,throw them in a bag of toffees!

[SHRINA17]

now she said low heat and the other guy said hi heat.....Ima confused...lol

[DominicanOps]

Medium Heat... There is no way she put that on "Low" heat and it made that sizzle noise LOL

[SHRINA17]

Thank you so much! I thought the same thing...and I'm no cook! LOL!

[dumb7890]

i love fried onoins

[2hotinaz]

You MUST add salt at the onset, this helps the liquids from the onions come out and they will cook and caramelise mcuh quicker, although they still must cook for a good long time in order to develop their sweetness. I don't see why a video was needed for this, most of us learnt it at our mums knees...in my case, my grandmother's knees, as my mum hated cooking. She would always cook extra, then make me a sandwich with the onions and bread, nothing more. SO good.

[sas5279]

yea but if you put too much salt into the onions while cooking on a low heat you wont get that caramelized colour..peace out man!

[djphil1976]

sweet thank u.

I find that to cook them in the Microwave First reduces the time. Then Transfer to pan to Brown until you are happy with the Colour / Color :O)

[WraithsBuster]

psionicmaiden: These kinds of jerk comments will always appear in youtube vids unless the host of the vid filters them out. Ignore them. These are young boys with little peepees who get their jollies off by being crude.

[buddyd007]

thanks for the advice hot chick

[IrishHaloNerd]

they cook faster and taste much better when you melt a thick slab of butter in while they're cooking. That's just the way I learned it.

[filipinoboy147]

i thought it was noodles b4

[FuzzyBunnyJames]

lol

[eykongness]

duh....crank up the heat and keep stiring.

[jysk8ter]

hey

[BoMBeK1986]

haha

[fire9910]

Lolzers, she reminds me of Rachael Ray, God, shes hot...lol

[CursedEyes24]

i'm not sure how accurate this is but my mom always said That if you want onions to caramelize faster add 1 teaspoon of sugar to each cup of onions you cook. I don't know how much faster they'll cook but they will get brown a little faster then they would normally. Something about the extra sugar or something like that. i dunno

[YogiPeter]

That's because when you cook sugar it will turn to caramel syrup. That is the basis of the term "caramelize"

[CursedEyes24]

So does that cook them any faster?

[coolglock19]

yeah!

[BigBird1337]

Oh nice
