Have you ever tried a recipe that turned out to go horribly wrong, or maybe the end product, despite being good, just wasn’t worth the effort? What was that recipe, and what about it made you say “NEVER AGAIN”?
I ask this as I am actively trying to remove the stench of onions from my Instapot lid’s silicone ring after making French Onion Soup in it (so far steaming it with white vinegar on the steam setting, soaking the ring in a water/baking soda bath overnight, and baking it at 250 degrees F for 20 minutes have all done nothing, so I ordered a new one, I give up). And I realized that cutting all the onions and waiting hours for them to caramelize and now this damn smell issue just isn’t worth it. Plus I still have frozen soup in the freezer because I can only eat French Onion soup so many days in a row.
NEVER AGAIN.
Instead of water you can add a bit of beer to cook the onions. You don’t taste the beer at the end but it brings a bit more flavors at the end.
yesss! and any broth really could work here in substitute for more flavor, but beer and onions is a bomb combo, especially with brats
Wine also. White is more subtle, red will give it a sort of balsamic vinegar type aftertaste.
