Slow French Onion Soup

Step 3 Stir, Repeat Ovening

 After an hour, you'll want to pull out the onions and give them a stir.  Really mix it up in there and get all the flavorful bits off the bottom and sides of the pan.  Use a little elbow.

You'll put the pot back into the oven for more of the same.  Stir the onions after an hour.  If you're feeling brave, you can leave the lid a cockeyed so steam can get out.  I am not so brave as my lid tends to fall off.  If you do this, put the pot in the oven before you set the lid on.  Mix the onions again after an hour, but you'll leave them in there for about an hour and half.

I don't know the decimal conversion for hours.  If only Dan Ackroyd were here.

So this is 1 hr, stir, 1 hr, stir, 1.5 hours, remove == 3.5 hours total?

 No, because there will still be moisture in the pan.  You have to get that all out - but it should be very close to perfect after the long roast.
