Why do my onions lose their flavor when I steam them/saute them on water? (lemmy.ml)

They keep their flavor when I fry them, but I'd like to cut down on fried things.

Steam / water doesn’t allow the temperature to get high enough.

I think you meant that the other way:

  • Uncooked: full favor, already edible
  • Boiled/steamed: cooked through and through, flavor goes into the water
  • Fried: high temperature, mallard reaction, seals the flavor inside, often leaves the inside uncooked
