    Are you supposed to be born knowing how to fry onions? And you’re guaranteed to have a culinary literate nonna?

      If you don’t cook at all, then this is a valid point. If you do cook at all - fats (oils, butter), onion, and garlic are just after boiling water. I’m not trying to be snobby. But it’s weird post when you can look up how to cook onions.

        We are literally talking about how the information you find when you look up how to cook onions is often wrong.

          Do you buy your onions pre-sliced/diced? Because I’m glad we’re not here talking about knife skills then. Put some in a pan and figure it out.

        But if you don’t know how to cook why would you look up how to make onions if the recipe states to ‘caramelise’ them in 5 minutes?
