You Can Be Generous When Cooking With Onions

There’s something to be said about the fact that each food reacts differently to applied heat pressure. In many ways, that’s the beauty of the culinary arts. You have to get used to all the different foods and their various quirks. When it comes to onions, they may be one of the most misunderstood foods out there. When you first get to know them, they may seem bitter, harsh, and simply unpleasant. However, when you start cooking them and “getting to know them better”, they surprise you with sweetness and brilliant flavor.

You Can Definitely Be Generous With Them

This leads us to our main point, which is that you don’t have to be scared when adding onions to a recipe. If you’re cooking something savory which calls for a ballpark of sautéed onions, you can feel free to just toss in as many as you want. As long as it’s not distracting from the rest of the dish, those onions will only improve it in ways that your taste buds will thank you for.

Another reason you can be generous with your onions is that they shrink very easily. Once you start cooking them, it takes no time at all for them to become a fraction of the size they were before, and much softer as well.
