While most recipes call for low heat and cooking time from 40 to 60 minutes to caramelize onions properly, you can use this trick to speed up the process dramatically if you’re lacking of time. Just add a pinch of baking soda to the oil and onions in the pan and they will caramelize perfectly and quickly. These are soft, delicious and don’t turn into mush!
