It's really easy; it just takes a long time. 1. Add 1 tbsp each olive oil and butter to a pan and melt butter over medium heat. No special pans needed. A frying pan, a stock pot, a wok...I've had success in all of em. 2. Add medium-chopped onion to heated oil/butter. Gently stir for two minutes. Add a pinch of sugar and pinch of salt (aka 1 tsp each). 3. Turn heat down to low heat. Stir every few minutes for the first half hour, and then almost constantly for the next twenty to thirty minutes. That's it.
