Remember: a candy thermometer can be a very helpful tool when making caramel or any candy. It's the difference between caramel sauce, soft caramel, or Werther's original.

[@karenscoville6307]

And if you don't have a candy thermometer you can drop a little bit into a shallow dish of really cold water and then try to pick it up with your fingers. If you can pick it up out of the water and roll it into a ball then it's at the fudge stage. Cook for a shorter time if you want it runnier or for longer if you want hard candy.

[@dunno6161]

Two things actually. You happen to have used a wetter sugar, and also added salt. Golden and brown sugars have molasses and will affect both the consistency and flavor, while white sugar has that extra 'ingredient" removed. The salt can also loosen butter caramels without some proportions being played with. You did well though! What you did end up making is a really rich caramel sauce you can use for topping pies and frozen treats without turning into a rock. Still very good and very useful. The scoop itself is just the consistency itself, different sugar will be the main thing to watch for since it looks like you have the temperature down.

[@gabrielh7517]

"wetter sugar" has nothing to do with the final textures. Flavor yes. The act of boiling the sugar removes water. The more you boil it, the less water leading to a firmer Carmel. It is 100% caused by not getting to the correct temperature.

[@dunno6161]

@@gabrielh7517 i've made plenty of caramels with different sugars, salt content, etc. Molasses content absolutely affects consistency in recipes this simple if you don't take countermeasures to balance the ratios. Molasses has a different set of temper points than the actual sugar granules so you will get a different result if you use golden or brown sugars while following the same directions intended for white sugar, just like adding salt when the recipe does not call for any.

I believe what happened was that you didn’t let the caramel brown enough before adding the cream. Caramel has different “stages” like soft ball, hard ball, soft crack, and hard crack. To ge the right final texture, it is essential to get the right temperature on your sugar and water mix first. Hope that helps! Update: just did some quick research and found out that the final temp of the caramel after adding the cream is most important for deciding the final texture. Looks like his needed to be hotter before letting it cool. Still seems to be a temp issue, I believe. Also, thanks for all the other ideas in the replies!

[@chalibar]

Absolutely. I also think he didn't turn off the heat before adding the cream. You can se sugar is still bubbling hard when he adds it.

Also, the butter was added on one big lump rather than several smaller pieces. That probably cooled the caramel unevenly, breaking the crystal structure. Hopefully, this is a nice one thread to rule them all of the improvements that could be made in the next attempt.

Try using pure white granulated sugar instead of evaporated cane sugar. The color is easier to keep track of while caramelizing and sometimes the larger sugar particles can hold slightly more moisture than the smaller grains of granulated sugar.

[@phatec]

Hi, Chef here. The reason he is scooping the caramel so smoothly is because he heated his ice-cream scoop first. If you used raw sugar it works but not as good as pure white refined sugar. Technically you don't need that much water, you just need enough to dissolve the sugar and avoid crystallization, the water 100% evaporates anyways as the sugar caramelizes, if you have a non-stick pot you don't need to use water at all and you would avoid crystallization. You can tell by the sugar bubbles that you didn't cook down your sugar down enough to what we call the "softball stage" this is why it's difficult with raw sugar because you went by the color of the sugar rather than using a sugar thermometer or viscosity of the sugar and it is for this reason alone the caramel became a "sauce" rather than "candy". Also you want your caramel to cool down at room temp to avoid your caramel from becoming grainy. You can also make amazing caramel candy using Condensed milk with white or brown sugar depending on the flavor profile you are trying to get. People also don't know this but when you add the butter, the sugar and butter will eventually become 1, but you need to cook it for a while and let it cook down long enough similar to if you are reducing a sauce and allowing it to thicken.

Salt is an alkaline base. Its physical property is a coarse granular crystalline structure that directly interacts with liquids, changing their consistencies. Sugar is a highly poly-amorphous compound, meaning it will stick to itself in liquid solutions. When sugar and salt interact, the salt usually wins by breaking the connections. You can imagine inside the liquid under a microscope. The salt is basically a spiky ball, shredding through layers of webbed sugars in the viscous ether.

Three things: 1. Im pretty sure that your sugar had crystalized because you stirred it. This caused it to not mix well. So try to avoid mixing but if you do, use a wooden spoon. Its even better to move the pot around 2. I would also suggest you use salted butter instead of trying to dissolve the salt inside the caramel It also appears as thought you are adding the butter too soon, when the caramel is still cold, in the original video you can see the bubbles. You can also try to heat up the cream a little bit before Also, put everything in boiling water for easy cleanup Hope this helps

Could also be the salt. Salt can change the temps that liquids turn to solids. Freezing and boiling point of water for example(Obviously, boiling point is a liquid turning to gas).

[@ubadlol]

Not enough to really be impactful though

[@brettlovely2012]

It takes a surprisingly large amount of salt to meaningfully change those boiling/melting points though, so most likely just a lack of air in the mixture and not getting the right temperature. Sugar's slightly fickle in my limited experience.

[@machinech183]

Salt dissolved has more effects that merely altering boiling temps depending on what other ingredients are being added ie texture/runniness. One way to avoid such interactions is to salt part way through the process of it setting in the fridge.

For those that don't have a candy thermometre, there is still a way to test the caramel! If you take a spoon or fork as you're heating the caramel up, you can take some of it and put it in cold water. You should be able to make a squishy ball with it by rolling it between your fingers straight from the water. This is the soft ball stage which is the 230-235 degree stage which is what you wanted.

It's the temperature, but it really comes down to the dish you cooled it in. Just like cooling cookies on a grate vs on a pan, your caramel continued to hold heat in the ceramic dish -- the sugars continued to breakdown, making it more of a syrup. He cooled his in a metal sheet pan, so it was able to cool more evenly.

[@LoveRemains]

I thought it was glass, not metal? 😅

[@conan4real]

I'm not an expert in caramels but i don't think what you cool it in or how fast it cools matters? if anything wouldn't that make it thicker since the sugars breaking down is what makes caramel.. caramel? i also don't imagine it matters how long it takes to cool, it takes a lot of energy to break down sugar, i cant imagine it'd make that much of an impact as long as you (obviously) aren't cooling it in an insulating container

I would really recommend using a thermometer for that kind of recipe. Salt is nice in caramel, but I'd use salted butter (nice rich butter made with coarse sea salt). And regarding the cream and butter. It should be warm. If you put it in right out of the fridge you risk crashing the temperature of the caramel too fast, not allowing it to react and make the water in the cream/butter evaporate The fork not mixing well is just because it wasn't hot enough yet. You will always have clumping on your utensils with caramel, becase they're colder than the caramel. If hot enough, it wouldn't be to that degree however.

@@lucasfariashoenicke764 Thermometers are used very often in candy making (and sugar preparations in general) and chocolate tempering because being off by even 2 or 3 degrees celsius sometimes can make the recipe fail. That's very much how you learn which temperatures should elicit a reaction on your part. And if you consider using practical tools as "not learning anything", I hope you stick to that and ditch your stove to cook on an open fire you started yourself by cutting and drying wood beforehand, with tinder of your own making, and no lighter or matches but a stick and your bare hands.

I'm just going to leave this here, the kind of sugar you use could also be the reason the caramel didn't turn out the way you wanted it to. Not all sugars are the same, like how brown sugar wants to stick together. Where as granulated sugar acts like sand and doesn't clump together. So it could be that along with the temperature thing.

YOUR SUGAR! You used pure cane sugar, not refined white sugar(note the color difference). The molasses in the cane sugar hasn’t been removed and changes the way the caramel sets up. You can cook it slightly longer to overcome. It’ll taste pretty much the same same though. 🎉

To get it set and be scoopable you need to either use the ratio of half the amount of water to sugar or wait for the caramel to get to a correct temperature where it has had all the water evaporate off This is from someone who studies confectionary recipes and in caramel specifically the ratio of ingrediants and temperature of the syrup absolutely matters

It looked like you used raw/granulated sugar in the beginning instead of caster sugar. Caster sugar is finer and has more surface area, which would have helped it to dissolve more efficiently and combine to make a thick syrup for you to add the cream to. Looked like it wasn't fully dissolved still when you added the cream. I love the caramel that you made, it would be the perfect filling for some donuts or warm it up for a sticky date pudding :D

@@boop3nowurded538 it's a matter of cooking to different temps that are literally just a few degrees different. It has to do with how the sugar crystals melt & reform. And stirring. By hand. Constantly. You stir until the temp on your candy thermometer is where you want it. Candies, caramels especially are super finicky to make & even after making them for over a decade, it's not always easy. Humidity, barometric pressure, all sorts of things affect it. It's worse than yeast dough, honestly. I wait for cold, sunny days to make them.

[@potatofrappe]

Not to over-explain (and maybe you already know about it) but most thermometers have a screw underneath the top of it where the readout display attaches to the probe -- this screw can be rotated to retune your thermometer. You just put it in a cup of ice water which should be 32 degrees F or 0 degrees C. So you may be throwing away perfectly good candy thermometers that just need retuned!!

Higher temp, cook longer, less water. The sugar you used was darker so your golden brown will have to be a bit darker than his. Which means turning up the heat and cooking it a bit longer. Cutting back on the water will also help to thicken it.
