Cara membuat karamel .. ^^



How to make Caramel ..

Ingredients :

Take safety precautions. Heated sugar can splatter, and burn you very badly. Make sure you do not touch the boiling substance.
o    Wear oven mitts or gloves
o    Wear long sleeves and an apron
o    Keep a bowl of icy water nearby, or a faucet with cold water so you can put your hand in it if you get splashed on
o    Wear glasses or safety goggles to protect your eyes
o    Use a very big pot in case the caramel bubbles up

Step 2 : Heat an even layer of sugar in a heavy-duty pan over low heat.
Step 3 : Stir only until the sugar dissolves in the water.

Step 4 : Watch the mixture carefully. You can use a candy thermometer to see if it's ready, but there's still a chance that even a professional thermometer will melt. Instead, look for it to turn the color of an old copper penny: dark, reddish-brown, and just past the point where it starts to steam. http://pad1.whstatic.com/images/thumb/8/83/Make-Caramel-Step-4.jpg/670px-Make-Caramel-Step-4.jpg

Step 5 : What you do next depends on what you're doing with the caramel:


  • If you're using it to line a mold, immediately pour it into the mold or ramekins.

  • If you're adding cream or butter, add it now.

    • Never add butter until you know the caramel is ready, or else it'll taste too sweet.[1]
    • If you add too much butter, the caramel will split and look oily. You'll have to start over.[1]
  • Otherwise, stop the cooking by placing the bottom of the pot in ice water, or else the caramel will keep cooking even when you take it off the heat.

Step 6 : Clean the pot you used immediately. It will be far more difficult to clean later .
