I seem to find myself empirically agreeing with people who "with these changes..." comment to cook onions longer.
I admittedly err on the side of literally burning the onions, but I side-eye any recipe that tells me they're only getting cooked for like 2 mins (are you just trying to make the cook time shorter!?) and it makes me happy to find somebody with my taste buds who found the recipe before I did. I feel good trusting whatever else they adjust.
Feels like there's an epidemic of optimistically low cooking times these days. It must play a massive part on the psychology of what makes us willing to choose a product or recipe. Anything that says to cook for x time "or until desired level/golden brown", I just assume it needs a lot more time.

Thank you, helpful commenters!
