    First the good news: This video and your website have the best explanation of dry method caramel on the internet as far as I've been able to tell. Thank you so very much for that. Now the bad news: I just finished whipping up a batch of caramel per your instructions, but it did not turn out well. Wait! I'm not suggesting it's your fault; it's not. I have so much history making wet method caramels, that I was not prepared---even though you warned me---for how quickly things would go. I let the temperature get away from me, and got a bit of a burned, bitter flavor. I'll try again, tomorrow, but today I'll just lick my wounds, instead of caramel. Again, thanks for your video and for your website, both of which are excellent.

      Thanks so much! If it makes you feel any better, the first time I did the dry method years ago I swore everyone was crazy and that it didn't work! I gave up the first time when I saw all those clumps, then I burned 2 batches. After that it was a breeze and I love the dry method now!

You've answered questions I didn't even know I needed to know! You've made this recipe as disaster proof as humanly possible!! You're a fantastic teacher!

    I’ve never made caramels before, but this looked so easy. I made jalapeño peanut brittle today and it rained here in Texas, so the brittle wasn’t brittle, more like chewy! I should have waited a day or two because I knew better. I did wait for a dry day to make Divinity and it turned our great! I have to try these caramels. Thanks for showing how to make them.

    Can't wait to make these. I never thought about making my own. I love Sanders caramels, but now they only come with that salt on them. Im local to the factory and every single caramel they sell has that salt on it. I had to pass. Such a disappointment. These look wonderful! Thanks for sharing!❤

    For those of us not crazy about sales caramel, would this recipe work with just a pinch of salt, instead of the amount you put in this recipe? Just curious.
    These look so good, and I love the knife-fork method of dipping.

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE watching you do your thing!!! I know I've been following for over a year because I watched some of your videos last year for Christmas!! LOL!!! You ALWAYS brighten my day, lift my mood by 4 or 5 notches at least and not that you are but your presence feels much like you're a cousin to me, if that makes any sense...LOL!!! You know when you have the one cousin you're closer to than your own sister or mom and you do a lot of things together.... I kind of get a feeling similar to that even though we don't know each other and aren't even in the same city/town much less the same room! You are just that kind of special where the love and compassion you have for others, and that you're a natural born teacher, comes through the screen and can be felt by those taking in more than a simple cooking lesson or just the recipe. Thank you much for sharing
    Much Love, Big Ole Mama Bear Hugs and Many, Many Blessings to you and yours!!!!!

    I made these yesterday and let me say your glass bowl in the instant pot is a game changer! Followed your recipe to a T, used a pizza wheel to cut them, and that was wonderful- so you'll have to try that. They turned out perfect, and I added flakes of sea salt on half of them just in case you stopped by for a bite😂. I made your peppermint patties a couple years ago and they were perfect. Thank you for all your great recipes and guidance I get from your videos! So talented!!

    You amaze me at everything that you make but this here has just blown my mind away now when I go to my job and I work in like a store and I work in the baking aisle all the time I have to deal and stock a lot of sugar and now when I see the sugar no I'm going to see is caramel and it does just blows my mind I thank you for sharing this and I have been watching you ever since I have learned with you and I want to cry because I think you because when my mom was alive she had died this month last year and it just seems like yesterday she taught me everything she knew and then I have a sense to know how to critique her recipes it expanded her business she was on a show called policans live she was well known at the farmers market and I just wish that I could still be in those areas of where she was to give let people try new things because even at my job I have come up with so many new ideas of anywhere from muffins to cakes to pies I have a very creative imagination and this is what I was known for in school even though I wanted to study to be a veterinarian or economical science but with the passing of my mom and try to make it on my own it's just really hard to try to keep the bills paid and try to cook and I have no TV no nothing they came in and took all of my mom's stuff no bed and stuff but that's besides the point you and some other Cooks is all I've got this is all I've studied since Christmas since I was alone and you have blown my mind and I thank you for you sharing your recipes so it would be easier for me to make things as you show then to go out and try to buy I think it gives me more an idea of life and to create fun for me bless your heart and thank you so much but this one here has really taken the cake thank you so much. ......... six

    • @TheSaltedPepper
      @TheSaltedPepper  Год назад

      Thanks! A lot of non stick pans these days are being made so metal utensils can be used in them so it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Making candy with metal utensils isn’t the best choice though because of the way metal conducts heat. It will cool the caramel by absorbing the heat.

    I've made the Fanny Farmer Mr. B recipe many times...takes an hour of stirring and cooking (removes moisture) to get the caramel up to candy temp. The result is wonderful. I wonder what the taste difference is with cooking the sugar first, versus longer cooking time?

  • @DeannaHerald
    @DeannaHerald Год назад

    I have found that adding a quarter cup of water per cup of sugar, using a lid, and bringing to boil to make a syrup, removing the lid and then boiling off the water before caramelizing, without ever stirring, is much easier and quicker. The first time I stir is after I add the cream.

    This looks so easy and yummy! Question: what are your thoughts on putting the caramel pieces in the refrigerator to firm up before dipping them in chocolate?

      If it's just a short time it should be okay, but I've had sugar based candy melt in the fridge. Also, sometimes if you dip cold candy into warm chocolate you can cause sugar bloom on the chocolate from the sudden change in temperature.
