Do you know how you should never microwave a hard boiled egg? That's exactly why you should microwave onions for the perfect caramelized onions. You see, onions are 90% water stored in billions of tiny little cells. In the same way that a hard boiled egg explodes, those cells will erupt, releasing all of that moisture. And as you know, caramelization is all about browning. And the enemy of browning is water. The hour-long traditional stove top method will take 30 to 40 minutes just evaporating the water out of the onions. Microwaving skips all of that. Just microwave sliced onions for 10 minutes and throw it in a hot pan for about 15 and you'll get the most perfect and evenly brown restaurant-grade caramelized onions every time.
