Ahh yes. The good old “now caramelize the onions, about 5 mins.”

I love the recipes that rely on pre-prepared steps to hit their timeframes.
Ingredients:
- Julienne cut carrots, blanched
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups pasta, cooked al dente
Not even just regular recipes that get the time wrong, my microwaveable ramen bowls say "ready in 3 minutes" But microwaving for 3 minutes is the third step in the instructions, which then go on to tell you to let it stand for 1 minute before adding the last spice packet. It can't be ready in 3 minutes unless I somehow break the laws of time or physics. I know it's the most trivial peeve, but would it hurt them to say ready in 5 minutes?
"The package said 5 minutes, so I microwaved it for 5 minutes. Why is my ramen burnt?"
Prep time, five minutes, includes cooking onions down to golden goodness. Riiiight, 5 minutes, liars.
You mean you don't have someone at home who will saute your onions for you in advance? Plebian...
Sounds about right to me, give or take 25 minutes.
My approach as an inexperienced cook is double the time.
