entertain and has no clue with to do with that amount. It's beside
the point.

Apparently he couldn't figure that part out all by himself. People
had to tell him about those options, including freezing them.

Five pounds does not make a lot of caramelized onions... they cook
down to nothing... I usually caramelize an entire three pound bag for
two burgers. But I wouldn't call sliced onions cooked in a crock pot
caramelized, they'd be *stewed* to sludge and in my opinion
wasted/good for nothing.

At least that's more to say than your usual time wasting LOL.

sf.. you appear seriously unwell lately. You miss half the points made
in discussion then you imagine unstated insults and jump to irrational
conclusions far more often than your norm these days.
Have you considered asking your physician for an exam? You haven't
started taking Aricept or anything lately, have you?

IME, that's never been a problem - the onions have always been cooked
"hot" in a skillet - so any liquid has always been burned off quickly,

Yes.

One of my favorite things is roast beef, horseradish, and c.o. on
sourdough.


It's easy and produces more than a taste for all that time and effort.
You can freeze the results, or (as often happens in my house) have enough
for some sort of party appetizer.

I appreciate not having to stand stirring, as well. (Slightly bum knee.)


Hardly, unless you don't like onions. (In which case, please go to the
next post.)

Which was my original complaint about this recipe when I saw people
first doing it. I;'m a little less skeptical now, but I still dont'
consider them caramelized onions. Partially because of the heat used
does not caramelize the sugars found in onions. But most of all the
texture was off - They are too goopey.

I didn't take picture of mine, but they WERE the color of caramelized
onions. I used 4 lbs of regular (non-sweet) yellow and 1 lb of white.

Caramelized onions should not be black (which means bitter). Just
like when you make nuoc mau from pure table sugar. Dark brown (color
of coffee) is good, black is very bad.

Nice!

Since most of her irrational posts are directed at me, I figured if I
killfile and ignore her, then people will see here for what she is,
rather than me clouding her issue.

I meant do that last night, but I realized I have way too much cooked
meat in the fridge: pork, chicken, and beef - all for sandwiches. So
I needed to eat what expires first. And that was chicken.

I do the same, and I agree. Cooked in a crockpot would be more like
'stewed' onions, I'd think? I'll slice up 3 to 5 lbs of onions to make
what I call "candied" onions. The raw quantity is enough to half-fill a
large dutch oven. The onions get cooked down for a few hours on the
stove until they're crispy, crunchy, rather blackened and stringy -- I
use the timer to remind myself to stir/shake the onions every 15-minutes
or so. They're good stuff ;) especially on burgers, with soups, with
salads, or even just by their lonesome self/selves ;>
