What Is the Difference Between Grilled and Caramelized Onions? - Chowhound
You know what’s a fantastic flavor booster? Onion! Whether grilled or caramelized, onions pack a potent yet pleasing punch to your palate. Up until a few months ago, however, I never really knew the difference between grilled and caramelized onions. Aren’t they the same? No. They are not.
I’ve always enjoyed the taste of onion, but, these days, I almost exclusively stick to the cooked variety. In fact, after encountering raw onions one-too-many times on a Chicago hot dog as a kid, I had to swear off them entirely (for the most part!). Why? I have a hard time digesting them. Without getting into too much detail, raw onions seem to always spark a battle against good and evil within my stomach.
