Stages Of Cooked Sugar

Depending on the source you use, there will be slightly different temperature ranges as well as descriptions for the various Cooked Sugar Stages. Therefore, it is best to use all of these tables as guides only to familiarize yourself with the various stages of cooked sugar, their corresponding temperatures, what the cooked sugar looks like at each stage, and their uses. One way to test for these stages, is to drop about a teaspoon of the cooked sugar into a glass of cold water. Then retrieve the sugar by pressing it gently between your thumb and forefinger and examine it to determine the stage. The higher the temperature of the cooked sugar, the less water there is in the sugar, so the firmer the sugar will be. Another way to determine the stage of the cooked sugar is with an accurate mercury or digital candy thermometer.
