Tips

  • Caramelizing sugar gets very very hot, so make sure to use a wooden spoon, a bamboo spoon or a red-handled rubber spatula, which is designed for high temperatures.
  • When working with sugar, scrape inside the corners of your pot because it likes to sit there and maybe overcaramelize or burn.
