I'm so glad Greg has spoken about his favorite part. I love when other candy makers pick up the candy and let it drip and all that. I've always wondered why Steve doesn't do it, but I guess he's just a practical man haha.

Adding cream of tartar when you're making candy helps prevent the creation of sugar crystals. That's why lots of icing, syrup or candy recipes call for it: it makes it so the end product doesn't have large crunchy sugar capsules.Apr 1, 2022

First, I love these videos and I can't even tell you why. It's hypnotizing to watch! I have one suggestion/question. Why do you use a tiny shot glass for the flavoring? It's awkward to hold with gloves - I'm waiting for someone to drop it in the molten candy... And the repetition, of 4 shots, 5 1/2 shots.... I recommend you use a nice graduated cylinder for measuring. You can get very accurate measures, it's easy to clean, etc. Sorry - the scientist in me and my OCD just cringe at the little shot glass. Keep up the great work!
