how to clean your pot after making tanghulu!

burnt sugar is easy to clean -- simply boil water and it easily comes off

I was once making sugar wax and accidentally cooked it too long, and I freaked out thinking I messed up the pan forever because it became completely solid lol. This would have been helpful to know back then. I ended up just soaking the whole pan with water and realized that the sugar mixture was slowly dissolving in the water, so I soaked the pan over and over until it was clean. This looks much easier!

ex pastry chef here - i would use up the sugar for something. but if there's nothing to use and still have sugar in your pot that is caramelized, IMMEDIATELY submerge the whole pot with water. if possible, warm 50ish deg Celsius water. leave it there and just clean up the rest... there should be minimal sugars left behind to easily clean.

I learned this as a child, for easily cleaning tough to clean pots with food or other things stuck to them 😅❤❤

U could have used that crystallised sugar in something instead of throwing it away

I always wondered how they get those types of liquids out of the pots and pans when they dry. Thank you for caring my curiosity.

I like to just fill the whole thing with water and put on a lid then let is simmer. When it cools down it becomes liquid all together so I just dump it down the drain. That way u don’t get extra utensils dirty and it doesn’t stick in places.



Note for everyone that’s slow I put a lot of water so it becomes very liquidy it just becomes like a very thin syrup, it doesn’t crystallize. I’ve had it stay for days on my stove before it doesn’t do that. I also use my sink and hot water often so nothing has a chance to crystalize even if it could.

That looks like almost the perfect sugar wa just the tiniest bit overcooked

[josenavarrete]

Omg how did I not think of this you are such a genius for coming up with this method of cleaning !!!!

[ccfishes]

tip: make sure to use enough water so the sugar dissolves COMPLETELY, otherwise it will harden after being poured out and will screw up your drain

I feel like u can use this sugar to make Chinese braised pork （红烧肉）

Puerto Rican here who makes a lot of flan. This is extra. Just put hot water in the pan and swirl it. Do this over and over until the sugar is gone.
