IMPORTANT: DON’T STIR!

Just wait until sugar is melted naturally, no matter how much it looks like it needs stirring.

Cook until sugar starts to melt at the edges.

At this point, shake the saucepan to redistribute the melting sugar.(but don’t stir)

Keep shaking it until the sugar is melted and caramelized.

Remove from heat. You just completed lesson 2.
