  • Question
    How can you reduce sweetness of fried onions?
    Community Answer
    Frying an onion is going to make it sweeter, but you can control the amount of sweetness with the way that you cook it. To keep it from getting too sweet, fry it at a high heat for just a few minutes. If you lower the temperature and slow cook it, you'll caramelize the onion, which makes it very sweet.

    I accidentally added sweetened condensed milk instead of evaporated milk to a macaroni and cheese recipe. Can I save the dish?
    Community Answer
    No, unfortunately there is no way to save the dish in this case. Luckily, macaroni and cheese is pretty easy to make, so I would suggest giving it another go!

    I have made a rhubarb cake and cooked it and it is far too sweet - now what do I do?

    Serve it with something tart and astringent. Make a tangy lemon sauce to have with the cake. You could also try something bitter, a dark chocolate sauce, perhaps? Use the rhubarb cake to create a trifle-style dessert with oranges and candied ginger to combat the sweet taste.
