* The caramel is VERY hot, so be careful when you make it!! - When I was a student, a teacher warned us not to touch the caramel, and guess what I did lol I couldn't resist! My finger was fine but please don't!

This is a brilliant video giving the viewers a choice in how you want your caramel for desserts, with or without butter, liquidy or more firm. Don't forget to give this lady a THUMBS UP for all her efforts. It takes many man hours to put a video like this together, and the least we can do is pay her back with a THUMBS UP!!! For me, now I must see her other videos that she masterfully put together. THUMBS UP!!!

By the way! According to YouTube, this is my 100th video🥰💕💕 Thank you so much for being here, I can’t believe it took almost 3 years!? That’s too long😅

When I started YouTube, I decided myself to at least post 100 videos to decide anything. So I feel a small accomplishment today (I need a wine tonight🍷) Although it’s just a number, I want to thank you for sticking with me for a long time. And welcome if you are new here!🙌🏻 I hope to continue sharing helpful contents😉

Best explanation I've seen and I've been a chef for 20+ years.

Dear Aya, I just tried your recipe and after the second attempt I finally made my own caramel sauce. I've always failed all this time and this is my first success, I'm so happy 😭 thank you so much for your work ❤🎉

Best caramel recipes video ever!! Thank you for showing all types of caramel sauce and explaining each of them elaborately 🙏🏼

Word of advice...if she didnt mention..best to use a heavy walled pot and especially one with a heavy bottom..it will burn if you dont use a good heavy pot..and it will crystalize on the sides. Definitely worth going out and buying a good pot. 3 qt pot is perfect..its a good size pot for this. She did mention warming the cream...if you dont and you add the cold to the boiling sugar it will have a violent reaction and steam up and splatter which in turn will possibly cause you to get steam burns..

Best caramel making thing I've seen. The comparisons are perfect to show what to do to get what you want from something that is so simple yet so complex.

Its honestly crazy how many caramel videos there are that don't show even half of what you've done.

Even the most popular has no real details like how long it takes or even show inside the saucepan.

You're great at explaining and your videos are greatly detailed.

Thank you so much.

Aya !!....It never occurred to me to pre heat the cream. Outstanding idea. I've always made caramel sauce using white sugar and only cream as an extension of making inverted-sugar syrup which is like the wet recipe you showed, and then using brown sugar, the cream, and the butter to make butterscotch (the flavors are very similar but ARE different. I use more butter than you and the extra water in the additional butter loosens the sauce up a bit). But the addition of the cream to halt the caramelization was always a nerve wracking time to keep things fluid and not have it spit all over me. Heating the cream is brilliant. Thanks a bunch! (Make yourself a caramel or butterscotch cheesecake [replace half the sugar with 2/3 equivalent caramel sauce and add 1t of starch to compensate for the extra moisture] and you will thank me.) Great video.

I just want to say thank you for all of your hard work. This is really a no nonsense approach to making caramel sauce. I like that you showed the process up close. Thank you again for such an informative video.

Really nice video! I especially like all of the comparison segments, those are really useful. Tried making the dry variant with butter today and it turned out great. Thanks for your work!

After trying and failing with so many turorials, this is the best one on youtube ❤ thank you so much!

[juliemeyer]

This is absolutely the best tutorial I have seen or read on making caramel. Your comments are so concise and informative at just the right time. I burned two batches of caramel today and then I watched you video. My dark caramel sauce is PERFECT! Thank you so much!❤

[Mary-had-a-lil-farm]

Wow! I think this is one of the best instructional videos I have ever watched, and I watch a lot of them. You give the information in very easy to understand directions and tips to make a better product also. Thank you so much can’t wait to dive into your other videos 😁. Excellent video.

Thanks so much for this tutorial! I made dry caramel for the first time a few days ago and it was a disaster, but now I understand how to stop it from burning and crystallizing. I think I had the heat too high and I kept stirring it outwards.
You give really good advice and tips for making the caramel and your voice is very relaxing to listen to. Thank you again and good luck with everything you do!

What a great and thorough video! Thank you so much. I made caramel for Turtles candy for Christmas on Sunday and it called for sweetened condensed milk. It turned out amazingly well, I was so pleased, especially since we can’t buy turtle candy here.I’ve only made caramel very few times before and haven’t tried the dry method yet.

[MsJOYCE]

This is what I liked from the blogger. She consistently been telling what ingredients we are going to use.

Very specified.

Thank u.
