Everyone talks about carmelizing onions in mason jars and a pressure cooker yet no where is there a guide as to what to put in, how long to cook etc. Anyone know?

Onion (100%), baking soda (0.3%), unsalted butter (7%)

Divide between jars, screw lid finger tight and then unscrew 1/4 turn, add to PC on a rack with 1in of water, cook at full pressure (15psi) for 40 minutes, finish on stovetop with salt and pepper to taste.

You can pretty much use this ratio for any fairly hearty plant you can think of. I've done celery root, parsley root, carrots, cauliflower, onions, all come out great this way. Jars aren't even really necessary but it makes cleanup nice.

I'm dumb...does this mean that if you use 100g of onions, that you would use 7g of butter and 0.3g of baking soda? (just to be clear on the ratios)

and is this just to make it less hands on? because why not just do the 10 minute caramelization method rather than 40?

Yes those are just percentages of your main ingredient weight.

I'm not sure what 10 minute caramelization you're talking about but I find it hard to believe you'd get great results in that short of a time frame.

I've always wondered this. No scorching without the jars, then?

To this day, this is still one of my favourite videos. I like Jacob's videos generally, even if he's a bit snarky here...the whole thing just makes me laugh:
