Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Do you happen to know the chemistry behind that? I've also heard about adding vinegar but that might be more for deglazing

Minutefood did an entire video on it, with the conclusion that none of the hacks actually work. Some of the methods get closer than others, but it's going to take time whatever you do if you want a good result. https://youtu.be/V6R_xMzov0U

Fascinating video. I hate onions. Not sure why I watched it. But it was really interesting.

I always deglaze with some balsamic vinegar, which adds to the flavor really nicely. One of my favorite dishes is a ton of caramelized onions over pasta with some cherry tomatoes, balsamic glazed chicken and shaved slices of parmesan.

The onions are like the sauce. Usually with a bit extra balsamic and olive oil drizzled onto it.
