We ve all suffered from what could be charmingly called, doing a thousand things at once, so there goes the homemade caramel. You leave for one minute to go feed the dog, and you come back to the smell of defeat. On top, the damage doesn t look too catastrophic, but the bottom is burnt to a crisp and your mission to remake your grandmother s caramel cake or pralines is thwarted again. As if it s not embarrassing enough, the pan then taunts you for days as you try to soak the sticky mess off.
The same goes for many others kitchen endeavors, whether you re trying to make super fluffy scrambled eggs, non-goopy risotto, old-fashioned gravy, some from-scratch pasta sauces, or notoriously finicky gumbo roux. Things that need to be constantly stirred while cooking don t care if your laundry needs switching, but there is a workaround that can make your life just a little bit easier.
