in Kathy Price’s comment it is Gale Gand, I know her from the time I spent in Chicago, Gale is so interesting and a great american pastry chef.
But this is what I wanted to share, I found this method about the time I was working at the French Pastry School in Chicago, It was about the only thing I was able to teach the brilliant Jacquy Pfeiffer, He gave me so many “million dollar tips” this was my “million dollar tip”.
When the sugar reaches 245 you can blow bubbles with it! I have used a metal spoon, a whisk and a pizza cutter to blow bubbles with the sugar when it reaches 245. It’s the hole where you hang up the utensil (metal of course). You just dip the end with the hole in the molten sugar, and blow through the hole, it won’t do anything until it reaches that magic number 245 and then viola! a big bubble, like a kids soap bubble!!! I never use a thermometer any more…. I love to show this trick to people, it’s a little bit of kitchen magic!
