No hate to the creator, but I would hesitate to even call those sautéed.

Looks delicious

Not really but I’d still eat it

Looks delicious, but it’s mostly boiled or braised, not caramelized.

those need 45 more minutes at least. they gotta go low and slow

Denial is delicious.

he keeps adding water before a hint of fond even develops.

But the burn of the onion crust is the good part sometimes, I use it on my chicken when I make some

I like Jose, so this was very disappointing. He should’ve asked our sub for input.

I would not consider these onion caramelized. Having onions brown/burn gently on their own while cooking on a lower heat setting will cause the often sought after Maillard Reaction from the natural sugars in the onions. With all that being said, I’d still eat it lol.

Yea…. No. Those are not caramelizad at all

Why add water? Onions have tons of water and you can’t start to caramelize until most of the water is gone
LazyTwitch0606
Needs like an extra hour lol

I mean no, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t still eat it.

I use beer instead of water and I cook mine longer

I hope brother takes his love for onions and actually learns the way

I absolutely loathe when cooking influencers use silly lingo for things like “add some ocean”
Instant unfollow for me I can’t stand that shit just show me the process.

I’m new to this sub, I thought that was how you caramelized onions (minus that whatchamacallit sauce). Now I have to look up the proper way

Unpopular opinion, I don’t like the mushy caramelized onion goop people post here all the time. Even though it’s very sweet it’s such a turn off texture. I’d much rather eat something a bit more firm and meaty like what Jose is cooking here

“burned” onions are not nasty if you make them right. they can be quite incredible

These are not caramelised but his technique is not wrong, he just stopped too early and added Worcestershire sauce for some reason.
Adding water helps them break down/soften evenly and more quickly, reducing the risk of some bits catching and burning before other parts have caramelised ([America’s test kitchen have a video on exactly this](https://youtube.com/shorts/ImzHlWdalhc?si=J9H0xMZpohb9WJGV)).
This is why people generally say low and slow with constant agitation. At the point where he added the sauce he should’ve just kept stirring on a low heat or added a cartouche to trap the steam and continued the cooking.

This makes me angry

I have seen this guy on my tik tok plenty of times he’s pretty good. I’m not sure what happened here, is this bait?

Absolutely not caramelized. Just softened.
