What temperature do you cook peanut brittle?
When it comes to a gentle boil, don’t turn the heat up! Cook until the temperature is at least 250F. Add peanuts to the mix. When the candy temperature reaches 300 degrees F, add peanuts and stir them.
How do you know when peanut brittle is done?
If you swirl the pan to incorporate the caramelized sugar, it will cook the sugar into a dark amber mixture. Don’t be afraid. Don’t get frightened when it bubbles vigorously, that’s from the baking soda and what makes it “brittle” enough to crunch through”.
Why is my peanut brittle so dark?
Because once the sugar becomes a light tan/golden color, in most cases, the sugar can be used in whatever recipe you are making. The sugar will become dark brown in color if you keep cooking it past this point.
How can you tell when peanut brittle is done without a thermometer?
The batter will turn into a ball when it starts to melt. Get out of the heat. Baking soda should be added with it. When you add the baking soda, the mixture will start to puffed up.
What happens if you put too much baking soda in peanut brittle?
The peanut brittle develops its airy texture here. Depending on how much baking soda you use, you can use anywhere between 1 and 1/2 ounces. If you add too much baking soda, you won’t be able to taste it in your candy.
Why is my homemade peanut brittle chewy?
If you want to make sure the temperature is correct, use a candy thermometer. The peanut brittle I had turned out to be very hard. The mixture did not reach the correct cracking temperature when cooking.
Can I pour hot peanut brittle on parchment paper?
Is it possible to put peanut brittle on the paper? You can put it on the baking sheet. A granite or marble slab can be used.
How do you clean up after making peanut brittle?
There is a need for a boil. If you want to make a lot of caramel sauce, caramel apples, fudge, toffee, peanut brittle, or any other stovetop candy, simply fill the dirty dish with water and bring it to a boil. Most of the hardened candy was removed from the sides of the pot when the water started to bubble.
How long does it take for candy to reach hard-crack stage?
Continue boiling, uncovered, not stirring the mixture but shaking the saucepan occasionally to distribute the heat as the mixture turns amber in about 9 minutes, then darker amber as it reaches the hard-crack stage, which is about 3 minutes longer.
What temperature does sugar crack?
After going through the hard-ball stage, sugar syrup can be found in the soft-crack stage. The concentration of sugar within the syrup is increased when the water in the syrup is boiled away.
What can I use instead of a candy thermometer?
A bowl of cold water is all you need to make a candy thermometer for any recipe. Drop a small amount of candy into a bowl of cold water while it’s cooking.
Can you use a regular thermometer for candy?
It can be used to make candy if your meat temperature goes up to almost 200 degrees Celsius, but most old-fashioned, analog, metal and coil thermometers don’t meet that standard.
How can you tell if candy is at hard-crack stage?
The hard-crack stage is the hottest part of the recipe. The syrup has almost no water left in it. The hard, brittle threads that break when bent are the result of the molten syrup being dropped in cold water.
Can you put too much baking soda in peanut brittle?
The peanut brittle has an airy texture. Depending on how much baking soda you use, you can use anywhere between 1 and 1/2 ounces. If you add too much baking soda, you will not be able to taste it in your candy.
How do I stop peanut brittle burning?
Too dark and the candy won’t set and the sugar won’t burn. If you feel the outside edge of the boiling sugar is turning too dark too quickly, you can swirl the pan gently once or twice to even out the boiling sugar mixture, but make sure you don’t stir, and don’t touch the pan with your hands.
Can you Reboil peanut brittle?
I followed Tiffany’s instructions to throw the pieces back in the pan, turn the heat up and stir, and wait for it to reach 300 degrees before pouring it into the pan.
Why is my brittle grainy?
You are at risk of turning the whole batches grainy if there is some sugar crystal. It only takes one crystal to cause a chain reaction.
Why is my homemade peanut brittle chewy?
It’s important to get the temperature correct so check it during the cooking process. The peanut brittle I had turned out to be very hard. The mixture did not reach the correct cracking temperature when cooking.
Can you pour hot peanut brittle on parchment paper?
Is it possible to pour peanut brittle on the paper? You can put it on the baking sheet. A granite or marble slab can be used.
Can I fix chewy peanut brittle?
Bring corn syrup, sugar, salt, water and peanuts to a boil and stir with a wooden spoon. You don’t want the peanuts to burn if you stir more at the end. It is supposed to be turning golden.
