Five minutes of microwave-boiling is enough to "glassify" the onions, penetrate them with sweet and sour relish, and melt the cheese into a softish consistency.  A 10- to 30-minute coddle in a stewpot will leave the onions soft-steamed; a similarly scheduled oven-baking will also create a golden crustation.  (Source: J∙ Okram - Mayonnaise Stew  ●  Cooking Recipe.)
