Hard Candy Question. How Do I Fill Mold W/o Bubbles?
Sugar Work By krissy_kze Updated 10 Feb 2007 , 2:42am by krissy_kze
I used a recipe with sugar, water, corn syrup and cream of tartar. I heated it to 300. I then used a spoon and dropped the sugar into the mold. There are a lot of tiny bubbles. What can I do to prevent the bubbles? Aslo, is there a specail tool like a pyrex dropper I can get insted of using a spoon to fill the molds?
Thanks!

Are you stirring??? Do not stir or you will have bubbles.
You can get a metal pancake dispenser but you need to use hot gloves because the metal will burn you.
I agree about not stirring. Also, if you have a small Pyrex measuring cup with a pinched pouring spout, you can pour the mixture from it--pour a thin stream from at least 6 inches above the mold. This seems to minimize bubbles, too.

Thanks for the tips! I stir it until it boils. After it boils I stop all stirring. I think I need a lot more practice.
Thanks again!
