BEST CARAMEL SAUCE RECIPE | HOW TO MAKE PERFECT CARAMEL SAUCE | DETAILED GUIDE WITH TIPS

We all love caramel but it is tricky to make. I decided to put together some tips and tricks that have helped me over the years. I also share a simple yet amazing recipe to make the best caramel sauce, that will blow your mind away.
In this video we talk about A-Z of making the perfect caramel and cover the following topics-
1)Simple, easy to follow salted Caramel Sauce recipe
2) How to prevent sugar crystallisation while making caramel
3) What kind of pan to use to make caramel sauce
4) Tips and tricks to keep in mind while making caramel
5) what kind of cream to use for caramel sauce
6) what temperature to cook caramel at
7) how to store caramel sauce
8) different ways of using caramel sauce
This caramel sauce will thicken and become sticky when you keep it in the fridge. This is because the butter and cream in it becomes firm. Before using it, microwave it for a few seconds.
Even after setting this caramel wont become hard.

You're too good, Shivesh! Love how every minute detail is covered and it is completely justified when you say ultimate baking guide. Keep inspiring

[@sparkes3]

Great recipe! After getting it wrong once, made it twice already. Couple tips that worked for me that I did wrong the first time (in addl to the ones in the video) - 1. Pop the granulated sugar in the mixer and get it powdered. It accelerates the melting time soo much (also easier to use otherwise) 2. Let the pan heat on medium -high flame before you add the sugar 3. Medium flame worked better for me. On low flame, the sugar didn't melt, but just came together as a one solid form. 4. Add tonnes of cream! The caramel hardens as it cools down, so add more than you think you want.

How to prevent it from hardening or is it fine ??

[@sparkes3]

@@ummeyfarva6526 it's fine if it hardens after it's made. You can put it in microwave for a minute to melt it again

[@nancysusanjames5380]

I love the way he actually explains each and every step unlike most people but one thing that caught my eye was that he used a wooden spatula to mix the caramel. Wooden spatulas have more bacteria in them compared to a regular spatula and he also mentioned that the equipment used must be clean. So I would recommend using a silicon spatula when you try this out. But in the end, this is a great recipe and I would definitely try it out.

I literally burnt the sugar when I was doing upside down pineapple cake. ... All ur recipes r super elaborate and easy to understand. While doing such delicate recipe pls mention the time how long we need to boil or how many last mins on stove.

[@gogolala622]

It may take anywhere from 8-10 mins; you just want it to be light amber colour and have your cream and butter right next to you as you caramelise the sugar because it’s better to be prepared than rush everything last minute because the sugar keeps on caramelising even after turning the stove off. You also need cold butter and cream in the caramel to halt the cooking process. Hope it helps.

[@snehaprabhakar1199]

This turned out to be super smooth, silky and absolutely delicious 🤤

[@dev.b.7670]

Your videos are amazingly helpful..I have started baking since a few weeks..tried your whole wheat choco chip cookies, coffee walnut cake and both were just amazing..the minute details that you give in your videos helps so much, like when to use melted butter and when to use soft butter..feels like I'm getting baking classes for free..!!! I have alot of custard powder with me right now and I want to have a baking recipe in which i can use it..I hope you are listening 😃😃😃

I tried making caramel yesterday with the same ingredients but I saw a different video and I ended up with a bowl of hard amber coloured brick kind of thing because what I did was: 1. Didn't add water to the sugar 2. Stirred the sugar (a lot ) while melting 3 Added less cream 4 Cooked for longer time (BTW yesterday I didn't have a clue for where I went wrong and after watching your video I got to know that I was wrong a lot) I am surely gonna try this caramel cause I loveee caramel😍 and it's a request shivesh can you please upload a video on how to make coffee caramel cake cause my mom's birthday is coming so I wanna make a cake for her and she loves the combo of coffee and caramel . I hope you take the suggestion 😁

Hi Shivesh Your explanation of methods is very thoroughly and I like that You have explained preheating of oven and microwave. The microwave showed in your series is very sofisticated, I have a simple one of LG there are cook functions given . But I do not enjoy baking as I end up with over or under cooking. Please guide me so that I can be a good baker.

[@deeptham.namboothiri752]

Umm...my attempt to make this caramel sause didn't go well. Usually in our house holds, we don't have such brushes in the kitchen...so I put few drops of lemon juice into the boiling sugar, water mixture. Since I didn't have fresh cŕeam with me, I had to use normal milk! As you can guess when I poured milk into it, the milk did split and became paneer in caramel flavoured slurry. It was literally milk solids in a brown colored water. Immediately, I dissolved 1 spoon of cornflour in some water, poured it into that mess and cooked to make it thick. That worked. And I was left with wet caramel sauce with tiny paneer crumbs in it. Fortunately, it didn't taste bad then. I used it in pudding, don't know how it will taste...'cause it's still in the freezer. Major lesson here is that never use lemon 🍋 juice in milk desserts unless it's sweets like rasgulla or rasmalai....
