Question:

Forgot to put butter on the aluminum foil before putting the candy in the pan??? help?

ok so i was making this candy, chocolate chip nougat log from the hersheys cookbookits made mostly of cornstarch sugar mixed together on the stovei poured it in the pan, which i had covered in foilthis morning, when i tried to take it out, i realized i had forgotten to put butter on the foilwhen i try to peel it off, the foil just rips since the candy is VERY VERY stickyis there any way i can fix this?? i really need to get the foil off!thanks for any help u can give me!

Answer:

This is really toughThis actually happened to me once (small world, huh? haha)But I'm lucky enough to have a small propane torchJust flip the candy/foil over and run the torch over itThat melts the candy a little and the foil will come offBut if you don't have a torch, then the only other thing I can think of would be either try this with a gas stove (not sure how that would work, and chances are better that you would end up burning yourself.), or just cut off the sides of the stuff and just lose some of the nougat to the foil.
