I made this peanut brittle about 4 hours ago and it is still really sticky, it never hardenedAnd it never got that golden brown colorI do not have a candy thermometer but I cooked it really hot and for about 10 min.Can I cook it more since I have it finished already ????Here is my recipe I followed and I did exactly what it said.1 csugar1 cwhite Karo syrup2 craw shelled peanuts1 tspsodaCook sugar, syrup and peanuts together until turns light amber color, stirring as neededRemove from heat and add 1 teaspoon soda and stirThe soda causes a foaming actionTurn out onto a piece of aluminum foilDo not try to smooth candy outLet cool and break into piecesLet pan cool before washing
Since the cookie sheets don't heat up all by themselves, I would look to the oven itself for the problem.
No; I would like to hear if someone has an explanationHowever, I do know what will prevent burning on the bottom: parchment paperProbably Silpat would also prevent it, but I don't knowI'm curious to know if this would work on your particular pansOh.I just saw the pictureYou didn't mention that they are dark non-stick pansThe dark pans always burn(Maybe it has to do with the fact that darker colors absorb more heat.) I don't know why they don't bother to mention thatI suppose they wouldn't sell nearly as many dark pansI suggest you switch to regular silver-looking pansNot that you asked for suggestions.
My Wilton cookie sheet also burns the bottoms of everythingI hadn t used it in a long while and had forgotten about it so I pulled it out to bake some cookies tonightBurnt to black on the bottom! It s not the ovenI ve had it and threw mine out!
you could try to bake itat 325 for about20 minutes, (preheated oven) maybe a little longerunless you pouredit into a pan that you cant put in the oven! PS I make brittle using brown sugar PSS: plain suagr and corn syrup wont turn brown unless you start to burn it! lol
