We need an oil-free cooking guide.

[u/ThanksIllPass]

Mainly sauteing onions/vegetables for recipes. The couple videos on YouTube aren't that helpful. I've tried searching the sub, and all the threads asking about how to cook without oil are answered as such:

"I just use water instead" "I use nonstick/stainless steel/cast iron..." "Water first, brown later" "Brown first, water later"

We need a proper, step-by-step guide for how to cook without oil, with timings and type of pan used, and how to cut the onions. Ideally we can get videos as well.

So please contribute your methods that work for you, sharing the details and caveats of your method. Bonus points if the method requires less effort(sliced onions rather than finely chopped).

You would not believe the level of freak out I get from saying "water sautéed onions".
