Olive oil “ caramel” Y/N?

[genuineBenFan]

The genuine jump got me too - hot caramel is scary

[jtkane]

That last frame is our first glimpse of deranged Andy. I'm here for it, haha!

[psychobunny]

I'm so glad you jumped away! A lot of people's instinct is to grab at what is falling, molten sugar is so dangerous.

[nakeysnake]

A small tip that I use in my restaurant, instead of the classic water and brush method, dissolve the sugar in water (½ cup water for 1 cup of sugar) and place a lid on the pot whilst it caramelises. This allows the steam thats formed to circulate and clean off the sides of the pot so there's no burning. Potentially it also developes the flavour a little more, but that's anecdotal.

I actually appreciate Andy pointing out hot sugar is dangerous!!

If you spill hot water, oil or whatever, just get away from it, also do not try to catch hot things or sharp knives!

Hot water sucks, hot oil also sucks, sugar is especially nasty cuz it's STICKY, having hot, hot sticky anything will do a lot of damage, so just avoid it

Stay safe out there folks, you're more important that the food :)

Appreciate you leaving the safety lesson in there about the danger of something that hot and sticky. 100% the right move to get far away from that and just start over!

Hey andy i genuinely liked seeing something go wrong, its realistic and shows us that even chefs make mistakes, and just deal with it calmly

[wickedly]

The state of that sauce pan that fell, mad respect! Despite the multitude of followers, using an older pan shows being frugal and knowing the value of your expertise versus showing flashy new stuff. Lotsa love

I cover the pot with a lid. That steam it creates keeps the sugar from crystalizing. A glass lid is better so I can watch it. Or just use a timer.

Andy: "Don't touch the caramel."

Camera: "Yes, I think I will."

[cheemoney]

i love the tip about running away "it's not worth it"

[virohn]

Olive oil on ice cream is certainly a novel idea 🗿

[Leslie.]

Thanks for showing the mistakes. It shows how human and genuine you are. Getting away from the hot sticky sugar is great advice!

[matthewring]

Pretty much good advice for anything in the kitchen that falls! Please don’t try to catch falling knives! Just step back and let it fall.

[Snake-filledChimp]

Good call jumping away 👌
I do the same with knives all the time these days after taking the tip of a paring knife to my shoeless foot years ago... luckily, it wasn't something heavier, or I would have needed stitches.

"A falling knife has no handle."

[eggshapedisraelioperative]

This is why I don’t let my dogs hang around me in the kitchen when cooking. That could have been a NASTY injury

[StarDust_]

I love how you didn't edit that part out to scare the poop out of us 😅

[logan]

Olive oil and sea salt on a good vanilla ice cream, not as crazy a combo as it sounds. Worth a try

That caramel looks If adding anything to ice cream, I really want to try the chilli crisp ice cream that Marion did.

[Pheminon]

For those of you that don't know, boiled sugar can reach up to 350°F
Not only that, but the second it hits your skin, it STICKS. Sugar is STICKY.
Thats gonna hurt for a LONG time
