But if you add a tiny bit of baking soda to those onions, it changes everything. Save the salt for the end, instead drop a 1/4 teaspoon baking soda in the pan with the onions and the oil & stir it up as usual, you'll have brown, sweet, caramelized onions in something much closer to 15 minutes.

    Do you happen to know the chemistry behind that? I've also heard about adding vinegar but that might be more for deglazing

    Minutefood did an entire video on it, with the conclusion that none of the hacks actually work. Some of the methods get closer than others, but it's going to take time whatever you do if you want a good result. https://youtu.be/V6R_xMzov0U

    I always deglaze with some balsamic vinegar, which adds to the flavor really nicely. One of my favorite dishes is a ton of caramelized onions over pasta with some cherry tomatoes, balsamic glazed chicken and shaved slices of parmesan.

    The onions are like the sauce. Usually with a bit extra balsamic and olive oil drizzled onto it.
