These tips are also quite important to do. Stir the cooked garlic quickly and continuously. Garlic that is rarely stirred will make it prone to having a bitter taste because it burns easily.

Those are some tips that can be done to cook onions so they are not bitter. Hopefully these tips are useful and good luck trying them.
