OPERATING YOUR SHORTCUTS PANEL
Caramel
The shortcuts CARAMEL setting is ideal for
making sauces or hard toffee.
The CARAMEL setting uses 2 power levels,
firstly 80% to dissolve the sugar in the water
and then 100% to evaporate the water and melt
the sugar.
This setting is suitable for making light
caramel. To increase the darkness see darkness
table below for additional times.
1. Choose a clear Pyrex bowl that is large
enough to contain the hot sugar mixture
when boiling. Wash the bowl well to
remove any residue oil or grit that will
cause the caramel to crystallise.
2. Place sugar and water into the bowl and
mix well with a metal spoon. See Caramel
table below for cooking method and
weights.
3. Wash down any stray sugar grains from
the side of the bowl using a pastry brush
dipped in clean water. Stray sugar grains
will cause the caramel to crystallise if not
properly incorporated.
4. Place the bowl in the centre of the
turntable.
5. Press the CARAMEL
shortcuts panel inside the door.
6. Turn the AMOUNT dial to select weight
and press START to begin cooking.
7. During the cook program, the oven will
beep and will flash "stir/turn food". Pause
and carefully remove the cooking bowl
from the microwave using oven proof
mitts.
CAUTION
Melted sugar is extremely hot and will
burn if it comes into contact with the
skin. Always practice extreme caution
when cooking caramel.
