Preparing the onions: Remove the outer layer and cut into uniform pieces, such as rings, half moons, or chunks, depending on your taste and the use you will be making them.
Microwave tip: Place the onion pieces in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a microwave-safe lid or cover. This step is very important because it helps to steam the onions, making them soft and moist.
Place the onions in the microwave on high power for about two minutes. The time required may vary slightly depending on the power of your microwave and the amount of onions you are cooking.
After two minutes, carefully remove the dish from the microwave (the steam may be hot!) and uncover the fully cooked onions.
