Have you wondered how something made with only one ingredient (okay, two if you’re counting water) could be so difficult to make that even those with loads of culinary seem to encounter problems? Compound that with a lot of conflicting information on how to make a proper caramel, and you’ve got yourself a real kitchen conundrum that Thomas has the answer for.

Hooray! I tried the lemon juice and pot lid tips, and my caramel came out brilliantly. I used a pot with a glass lid, so I could watch as it cooked. I also used a tip from another page that said to mix the sugar and water, then let it sit at least 15 minutes before cooking. It seemed to help the sugar dissolve. Thanks, and good luck, cooks!

The problem with wet method is if your heat is too high, you won't notice until the water evaporates, which will happen suddenly if you aren't looking. Slow and attentive heating is the key, wet or dry.

Your tip about using a lid so that the steam can drip down the sides of the pan to prevent crystallisation was simply amazing. Thank you so much.

@genesismayer3865 7 жыл бұрын

if ur caramel breaks after adding cream its bc the temp difference between the cream nd the caramel is too high. microwave the cream a little bit and make sure to mix w a whisk when you're adding the cream. itll make a bit (lots) of steam when you add it so just look out for that. everything else in the vid is accurate. the lid thing is ESPECIALLY helpful. just make sure u check up on it and dont burn the caramel. source : my findings after many a night of trying to make caramel sauce to pour over ice cream only to use my salty tears to wash the myriad of pots and pans i used for my several attempts.

I should have read this first as I did put the cold cream in but it did disolve quickly...Got me a bit scared but it turned out beautifully using the lid tip as well!

Can show us the difference between caramel sauce, butterscotch sauce, toffee sauce and dulce de leche?

@Volosous 7 жыл бұрын

toffee is hard crack and has butter. caramel is caramel. butterscotch is brown sugar (meaning it has molasses), butter, and soft crack. Dulce de leche is an entirely different beast, actually, because it relies on the mallard reaction

@keetrandling4530 7 жыл бұрын

*maillard reaction (looks like auto-spell-check strikes again! Why it thinks that wild ducks react to caramel only the algorithms know!)

@noamboniij 7 жыл бұрын

can caramel be made using brown sugar?

@Ryquard1 7 жыл бұрын

caramel is form white sugar, if using brown sugar it may have seem the same but the taste will be different because molasses, dont know if it has another name, if you add butter to the brown sugar one then it becomes a butterscotch

This was really helpful. My wife and I tried the dry process the first time we made caramel and we made motor oil sauce instead of caramel sauce. It was one of the worst things I've ever tasted. This method worked perfectly. No sugar crystalized and the caramel tasted great. The wet process seems to be much more forgiving especially if you are new to making caramel.

@nautilusshell7837 4 жыл бұрын

Successful caramel making 1) Start with a pot that's either pale or silver inside so you can see the caramel as the colour turns and make sure there are no impurities in the pot or amongst ingredients that might be an anchor for hard sugar crystals to form around. 2) Make sure that the sugar is fully dissolved BEFORE the syrup comes to the boil. If there are sugar crystals on the sides of the pot when the syrup starts to boil, then you can be pretty sure that the caramel will crystallise rather than turn brown. If you need to agitate the mixture, then swirl the pot gently rather than mixing it with a spoon. 3) Be patient. Depending on the concentration of sugar to water, it may take 7-8 minutes for the sugar to caramelise
