GaKaye,
We do the same thing but in a microwave using a plastic Vidalia onion cooker we got in Fresh Market. It is a two piece thingie, and we do exactly what your recipe says, but they get done a lot quicker. Makes a great side for a grilled steak!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/dine.gif" alt="" />
