A Bigger Pot Is Ina Garten's Pro Tip For Caramelized Onions In A Flash
BY EMMA SEGREST
Ina Garten's tip from her cookbook "Cook Like A Pro" suggests using a bigger pot when caramelizing onions so that they cook more quickly.
This gives your onions more surface area to spread out and get more individual heat from the bottom, thus cooking faster. You should have an even, thin layer.
Garten explains that in a smaller pot, the onions can end up being steamed in butter and oil instead of being cooked down.
