Take a knob of butter and melt it on a low heat. Slice the onions and cook them for at least 20 minutes, probably longer, over a moderately low heat until they go brown - alternatively, place them (coated in the melted butter) in the oven at, say, 160C. You don't want to cook them quickly, because that will simply cook, brown and probably burn the outside of the onion before the inside is cooked.
It is important you give good amount of thought when planning to grow onions. You need to check on a location where the exposure to sunlight is good. Also, you need to remember to have an adequate drainage system. Planting the onion cloves in ridges also helps, particularly because they decrease soil moisture. But it is important tht a fertile soil is a must. But do not put too much fertilizer as onions are averse to too much nitrogen which can come from fertilizers.
How does a green onion plant reproduce?
I plant green beans, wax beans and Anasazi ( ancient pinto ) beans every year.

Why does gum keep you from crying while peeling an onion?
chilling an onion keeps in the juice and prevents it from evaporating/vaporizing as quickly. Freezing the onion actually holds it in place completely Chewing gum is sort of a gimmick; it keeps your mouth open and breathing more than usual. This means that the onion fumes aren't all entering you nasal cavity in as much of a concentration and thus reduces the effect.

Feeding an animal one sliver of onion will not kill them, but if you constantly feed the animal onions, they may get anemia. Keep a constant watch over the animal and feed it and give it water regularly. If the animal seems down or sick, take it to see a veterinarian immediately
A deadly vegetable.
Whether fresh, cooked, or dehydrated, onions can be very toxic to all dogs and cats.
The active ingredient in onions is allyl propyl disulfide, a component of onion oil. This substance damages red blood cells, or RBCs.
Feeding your dog or cat onions can cause a condition called Heinz body anemia. Heinz bodies are small, round projections that extend out from the red blood cells. These projections are accumulations of damaged hemoglobin molecules. Allyl propyl disulfide irreversibly breaks down hemoglobin and permanently damages the RBCs. The oxidative effects of onion oil also damage the cells' surrounding membrane, further weakening the red blood cells. The body responds by destroying the damaged cells. As the number of red blood cells circulating in the body falls, Heinz body anemia results.
Anemia alone can have serious consequences. Clinical signs include pale mucus membranes, depression, increased heart and respiratory rate, weakness, fever, vomiting, and loss of appetite.
Hemoglobin from the destroyed red blood cells may appear in the urine, imparting a reddish-brown color. The loss of hemoglobin into the bloodstream, which is then filtered by the kidneys, can cause severe kidney damage, leading to kidney failure.
A veterinarian should immediately see any dog or cat that has eaten onions. In addition, dog and cat owners should read all food labels prior to feeding; even some baby foods contain onion salt.
