“cook the onions on medium heat for a few minutes until they caramelise” statement made by someone completely delusional. “A few minutes”? A few minutes is what it took to create someone so blissfully unaware about onions, that years later he has the audacity to suggest that it takes “a few minutes” to caramelise onions. And that’s what you get in a few minutes. An unsatisfying, excuse of a final result.

Onions will make you question physics, reality and the space-time continuum. That’s how long it takes to caramelise them.

    I have a gas stovetop, the big 5kW at full blast might do it in like 4-5 minutes (be generous with the olive oil, salt, blend it all, then do not stir at all, for like 2 min. Then stir up the cooked ones from underneath, regularly) I guess those induction abominations might do that too.

    You can't fry onions on medium heat. Or yes it'll take 30 minutes.

    No way. Maybe you'll get nice grilled onions, but caramelized is an entirely different chemical state. It's not possible to convert them that quickly, no matter how good your stove is. At most you're just burning them.
