You know how recipes lie and say to cook onions in 5 minutes? Here’s how you can actually do it!

Preheat your pan with oil – this helps the pan get got faster
Add salt – this draws water out of the onions through osmosis and helps them soften faster
Add water – it’s counter intuitive, but adding 1tbsp water to a hot pan instantly turns it into steam which heats the onions all the way through in minutes instead of waiting for conduction to work it’s slow magic
Add a lid and reduce the heat, cook covered for 5 minutes – the high moisture environment keeps the onions soft and not burnt

From here you can use them in any recipe or keep cooking to caramelized and develop that deeper flavor.
