Candy Cooking Guidelines

Candy Cooking Guidelines

1.Candy becomes very hot during cooking. Select a cooking utensil which will withstand hot temperatures. Select a utensil which is large enough to hold the candy during cooking to avoid boil-overs. Use the recommended utensil in the recipe. Generally, candy is cooked uncovered for easy stirring.

2.If a candy thermometer is used when preparing candies, do not leave thermometer in candy while the microwave oven is operating, unless the thermometer is especially designed for microwave oven use.

3.In this cooking guide, candies are described as being completely done when the following stages are reached:

Soft Ball: Candy syrup, when dropped into very cold water, forms a soft ball which flattens on removal from water.

Firm Ball: Candy syrup, when dropped into very cold water, forms a firm ball which does not flatten on removal from water.

Hard Ball: Candy syrup, when dropped into very cold water, forms a hard ball which is hard enough to hold its shape, yet elastic.

Soft Crack: Candy syrup when dropped into very cold water, separates into threads which are hard but not brittle.

Hard crack: Candy syrup when dropped into very cold water, separates into threads which are hard and brittle.

4.Since candies do become quite hot during cooking, be careful when removing them from the microwave oven. Keep pot holders handy.
