[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do all recipes seriously underestimate the time it takes to sautee onions??[/quote] Lol I am making an internet lentil recipe right now as I type this that claimed the onions should take "2-3 minutes to brown." GTFO. It also claims the lentils will cook through in the sauce in 8 minutes. 8 minutes! Even the lentil package says 15-20 and in my experience it takes a bit longer than that especially if it's more than a few lentils. I think these recipes just want to be able to claim it's a 15 or 30 minute "weeknight recipe" but in reality there are very few good meals you can actually cook start to finish in that length of time. They also always underestimate prep time. This one claims 5 minutes to chop an onion, mince garlic, mince ginger, make a sauce/marinade, and get the rice going. My kitchen is not a Michelin starred restaurant, so this took me 15-20 minutes.[/quote]
