Critical Success Points

  • Cooking the onions low and slow for the full hour; rushing this step results in burnt or under‑caramelized onions.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can splatter – keep a lid nearby and avoid adding wet onions.
  • Do not leave the skillet unattended for long periods; the onions can burn quickly.
