Assistant: Caramelization occurs naturally when sugars in food begin to caramelize as they reach a certain temperature.  In the case of cooking onions, caramelization occurs when onions are cooked at high temperatures for a long time, and results in their natural sugars turning into a delicious sweet and savory brown flavor.  Here are some tips for how to caramelize onions:  1) Use thinly sliced onions.  If your onions are too thick, they won’t caramelize properly.  2) Don’t rush the caramelization process.  It will take time for the onions to cook down and caramelize, so keep them simmering over high heat for at least 20-30 minutes.  3) Don’t walk away from the onions as they cook.  You want to pay close attention to them during the caramelization stage, to make sure they don’t burn.


Human: Can you explain how to caramelize onions?

Assistant: Sure, I’ll be happy to explain how to caramelize onions.  Caramelizing onions means slowly cooking them over low heat with just a pinch of salt until they turn a deep brown color, which can take up to 20 minutes.  First, you should cut the onions into quarters, then slice them into thin slices with a sharp knife.  As you caramelize the onions, you should stir them to ensure even cooking.  Choose the lowest heat possible for a gas flame, and keep the onions covered with a lid during cooking.  
Once they’re caramelized, the onions can be used in a variety of dishes.  The soft, sweet flavor of caramelized onions adds great flavor to pasta dishes, vegetable side dishes, or with eggs for a quick gourmet breakfast.  They’re also great as part of a homemade soup or as a topping for sandwiches or other baked goods.  They can also be chopped and used to help make marinades.
