How do you melt sugar?

Answer by  mb (5482)

You need to use a low slow heat source, try a double boiler. Use a pan of boiling water and a microwave safe bowl set in the pan.

Melting the sugar is easy because you will have to use some water to avoid burning it, constant stirring helps you form a nice thick sugar syrup,keep the heat low.

I know a lot of people that use double boilers to melt sugar, but I've had luck with just a frying pan. I put the sugar (usually 2 or 3 cups) in a frying pan over medium-low heat and use a wooden spoon to stir. Almost as soon as the sugar changes color, it will melt and you're done!
