Your brunch polenta was already fabulous but this one is even more over the top.  Thank you for recommending the polenta method over on hippressurecooking.com.  I've got to give this a try.  

 

I also tried that recipe for caramelized onions.  I ended up with a large amount of liquid after the pressure cooking step and it took such a long period of stirring on the Sauté function (almost 40 minutes) that the onions had pretty much turned into a paste.  

I was disappointed as I'd been expecting onions, not onion purée and the claim of "caramelized onions in 30 minutes" turned out to be bogus in my hands.  However, I froze it in ice cube trays and it's been great to thaw out a cube or two and get that great caramelized flavor in an instant.  Smeared on a flatbread, sprinkled with grated cheese and broiled - yum!  

 

Seems to me we went through quite a discussion some time back on making caramelized onions in the slow cooker.  If I recall the method worked well for some of us and not so well for others.  Might have also have had a discussion on the Modernist Cuisine method of doing caramelized onions.   I know I still prefer to do them stovetop.
