5 Secrets to Making Caramel
You can achieve truly delicious caramel if you know all the details of its preparation. To make the process easy and enjoyable, use the following life hacks:
- For the sugar, be sure to use a heavy-bottomed pan. This will allow everything to melt evenly without burning. A cast-iron wok is ideal.
- Do not stir the sugar while it is melting, as this may cause it to crystallize.
- Add the hot cream to the sugar gradually, not all at once. If you pour the entire saucepan, the caramel risks boiling over.
- You can always adjust the thickness of the caramel by adding more cream. If you want a thinner consistency, add a little more cream. Avoid adding milk or sour cream, as these are different recipes with their own proportions.
- If your caramel has an uneven consistency, you can puree it with a blender. This will make it softer and more delicate.
