Down south (way down, meaning Chile, Uruguay and Argentina) we cook dairy milk (could also be non dairy) with sugar, vanilla and a pinch of banking soda to make a kind of fudge called "dulce de leche" ("cajeta" in Mexico).
I am using a teflon coated Hexclad pan here. It should be safe at this temperature, because sugar melts at 186C (367F) whereas teflon shouldn't be used over 260C (500F).
@@decentespresso But you are using a "wicked powerful heating source", which will produce a greater temperature gradient across the pan. There was the same issue with the first Apple Air laptops, where the temperature of the cores would continue to rise after the laptop was turned off.
A part of me was wondering if you were going to use the Decent Espresso machine to make salted caramel :-)

Exactly what I was expecting.

That induction is no joke
Starting with some water and then boiling it off helps with the clumps and evenness!
For those wondering you can also make 8 or 16 minute salted caramel with a less "wicked" heat setting to avoid the smoking etc.
merry Christmas. Is this recipe good when you make less, so 100g sugar 200g full cream aca non whipped whipped cream?
Yeah, half is fine.
@@decentespresso In the Netherlands we also use pounds, but a pound is exactly 500g. Ounces are exactly 100g
where's the "salted" part of salted caramel ?
John mentions he will add it after the end of the video
4 pinches of salt, once it's cooled. But you need to do that "to taste"
You should not use a pan with teflon in it on high heat like that.
