Cooking 101 question: How can I tell when something is carmelized?

Asked by SuperMouse (30845points) October 17th, 2011

The recipe I am following says to cook the onions until they are carmelized – about 8 to 10 minutes. I can go by the time, but what does carmelized mean and look like and how can I tell when this is accomplished?
