Caramelized onions (and garlic)


I accidentally posted this to r/baking originally and they removed it

First time making caramelized onions in a crockpot. Added garlic for happyyumyum

Has anyone done the crockpot method and how did it turn out?

Instructions said

3lbs onion

4-6 tbsps butter

10-12 hours on low

    I haven’t tried this method yet, but please update with the results. It sounds like a great setup, mate

    Well those don’t look very caramelized. You might want to check to see if your crock pot is broken (particularly if you waited the full 12 hours and they still look like this.) and perhaps get a new one. Sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news :/

    How did it turn out? I’m so curious about the garlic

    You’re going to have some caramelized onions with some massively overcooked garlic that will make the whole thing taste bitter and gross

    Not meaning to be rude, but if you already started with a “recipe” then it’s a bit late to pose this question. Maybe posting “I did this, here’s how it turned out. What do you think?” is more appropriate.

    I’m not sure why you posted this on r/baking since it’s not baking. You also didn’t mention how much garlic, so you measured *some* ingredients, but it’s not really a recipe.

    It’s onion though, so I bet it’s delicious.

    Made my entire house smell for a couple of days. It was a very strong smell and TBH, not great. Onions are my favorite food BTW.

    Can it get any better than this? I don’t think so.

    I just want to eat a handful of that real quick.
