Fix uneven browning by adding a small splash of water
If onions start browning unevenly, add a little water to help even out the color.
Watch for patches that brown faster than others. If browning becomes uneven, add a small amount of water and continue cooking and stirring to even out the color.
The short version
- Use a little water if color develops unevenly
What goes wrong
Letting one area get too dark while others stay pale
Add a small splash of water and stir to even out browning.
Why it works
Water loosens browned bits and moderates surface temperature briefly, helping redistribute color as you stir.
