    Interesting. That has not been my experience. The baking soda turns them green and mushy and they taste terrible and weren’t even really caramelized.

    I’ve since taken to steaming them under a lid for about 10mins before removing the lid, cooking the water off, and caramelizing them. It’s more involved but gives me consistent results, and is still faster than doing it without steam.

        Its been years since I tried so I honestly don’t remember, but yeah its possible I used way too much.

        I’m happy with my method though :)

        Good to know it works for some people! I thought the chemistry was cool.
