    I messed this one up big time. I didn't cut the onions up small enough, I burned the brown sugar into the bottom of the pot, it was a runny mess. It didn't taste good and I had no idea how to fix it. I threw away $15 of bacon :(
    But, I also made the Italian sausage chili yesterday and that was probably the best thing to ever come out of my kitchen. I really suck at cooking, but I keep trying thanks to your videos! Thanks Chef John!!

      @Paintplayer1 8 років тому +22

      Unless you're specifically trying to achieve a sear (which you're not in this recipe) you usually won't hurt anything by cooking longer at a lower temperature. Especially for a recipe like this, where low and slow will produce much better caramelization and intensification of flavors

    A while ago, when making latkes, I remembered watching this video in some distant subconscious corner of my food brain, and made onion jam. Despite remembering very little of the video, it ended up with a tiny pinch of sugar, a little white wine, and some vinegar, and was amazing. Maybe next time I will make it with a few more of the ideas seen here. :)
