False information on the internet is hiding the truth about onions

The grand irony is that this guy is absolutely wrong about caramelizing onions. It simply does not have to take 45 minutes to caremelize onions. Sure, you can do it in that amount of time, but he's wrong. His "crusade" is based on incorrect information.

One of the best tricks I've learned for quickly caramelizing onions is to not use any oil in the pan; the oil is more likely to cause it to burn. No oil; slightly over medium heat; a thick pan; barely any stirring; slices evenly cut; that's all you need.

The author is absolutely right. You're browning your onions, not caramelizing them.

I think you either contradicted yourself there or it isn't clear from the way you've written it that you're talking about different things.
