A while ago I was boiling some campbell’s chicken noodle soup on my stove. The stove was a normal gas stove and I was using a metal pot I use for everything. My soup was not boiling after 10 minutes so I kept stirring it. Nothing was happening so I shifted the pot on the stove and it immediately started boiling like crazy. I may have turned the heat up to make it boil, but it only started boiling after I slightly shifted the pot. This has never happened before or after this incident and I think about it all the time. Any ideas?
Technique Question
I attempted to make caramalized onions after I had come across it a few times on the internet. I've never actually had caramalized onions so never knew how it tasted.
I made them and they had an indescribable oniony bitterness and offputting taste. I should have done something wrong coz they aren't supposed to taste like that no?
The recipe had seemed simple so I tried making it for filling for my sandwiches.
I followed the steps throughly, saw 2-3 shorts on how to make it in a short time (took me 15-20 mins) .
Reciepe :
Added water to wrinkle onions a little and closing the lid for 10 mins.
added all the necessary stuff, oil , sugar , salt.
sprinkled water on the sides to (clean? ) the browning from time to time.
Idk what I did wrong, I'm also new to this cooking thing so I may have done some obvious mistake that I don't know about.
Is there any tips so I don't fk up next time? Or some glaring mistake u see in the process ? I would really like to know. Thanks in advance guys. Also sorry if I made any mistake in this post I'm new to the sub.
Edit : I've included the process in detail here as asked :
I used the red onions, and I used about 8 of those (medium to small sized) .
I first steamed them in a splash of water after covering the lid for about 10 mins after it slightly wrinkled .
then I added some oil I would say about 2-3 table spoonfull oil.
Immediately added salt a good 2-3 big pinchess. Along with about 2 tablespoonfull sugar.
And after all this I put the flame at medium high. Moving the onions every few mins and adding small amounts of water to remove browning from the pan.
I did this for about next 10-15 mins , itwasr decently brown till then as I thought it looked in the videos and needed there.
Sorry this is my first time writing my cooking process so I'm not sure if I'm doing it right way.
Edit 2 : Thank you for all of your suggestions, got to learn a lot. Low heat longer duration it is. I'd tryto make em again some time soon hopefully better . Thanks :)
Hello
I am making tacos for a group tonight, and want to know if there is any reason I couldn't update to use Shrimp instead? Someone in our group is allergic to fin fish but can eat shrimp. Thanks
