Tips

  • Slice the onions pole to pole instead of crosswise to keep vascular bundles intact.
  • Start by simmering onions in a covered pan with water to soften them quickly.
  • Stir and press onions into the bottom and sides of the skillet every 30 seconds for even browning.
  • Finish with a baking soda slurry to soften them further by breaking down pectin.
  • Leftovers can be frozen.
