Making caramelized onions can be tricky,
but it doesn't have to be difficult.
00:06.660 --> 00:10.950
I'm Jenne Claiborne and I'm going to show
you how to make deliciously golden and
00:10.950 --> 00:14.070
sweet caramelized onions in half the time.
00:15.180 --> 00:18.520
So the first thing we need
to do is cut our onion.
00:18.520 --> 00:20.610
Make sure that it's nice and thin.
00:20.610 --> 00:24.360
I already have our skillet heating, I'm
gonna add a little bit of oil to it, and
00:24.360 --> 00:28.180
this is on medium heat.
00:28.180 --> 00:29.615
And then you can add your onion.
00:29.615 --> 00:37.069
[NOISE] Now, the trick to making
these caramelized onions quick,
00:37.069 --> 00:43.989
even faster is we are going to
add just a pinch of baking soda.
00:43.989 --> 00:49.960
No more than an eighth of a teaspoon and
sprinkle that right into your onions.
00:49.960 --> 00:53.110
And we're also going to add
a pinch of sea salt as well.
00:55.150 --> 00:59.880
And you wanna give that a stir.
00:59.880 --> 01:03.770
And so we're only gonna have to cook these
for about 15 minutes but we're gonna have
01:03.770 --> 01:08.290
to make sure that we're stirring
it pretty often, pretty regularly.
01:08.290 --> 01:12.803
So after 15 minutes when your caramelized
onions start looking nice and
01:12.803 --> 01:14.560
brown, they're all done.
01:14.560 --> 01:20.100
Caramelized onions are a great addition
to burgers, pizza, and other recipes.
01:20.100 --> 01:24.000
