  • caramelize

    From RichD@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 23 15:30:25 2021
    Some recipes call for caramelizing onions, apples, whatever.
    Apparently, after heating for a while, a sudden change of state
    occurs; caramelization

    Can anyone describe the chemistry of this process?
    Somehow, it seems the sugars concentrate.

    Close. Maillard reaction. Unless you are roasting a thousand
    million ducks, I suppose.
