Thanks for starting this group!<br /><br />thetwistedchef and Bri, I think my thermometer could be the problem. I just don't think it works well with small amounts of liquid. <br /><br />Joan, I just love taking classes, and the Le Cordon Bleu one was a lot of fun. I'm going to have to try some of their other classes. <br /><br />I think I may bite the bullet and buy some fleur de sel next time a recipe calls for some.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11219860093366793324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134505246958519168.post-60486378158925486622010-12-07T18:28:37.824-08:002010-12-07T18:28:37.824-08:00What a great recipe - enough for me to bite the bu...What a great recipe - enough for me to bite the bullet for the fleur de sel - after all it does go a looong way since you use such a little bit.<br />Your Thanksgiving looked fun, but mostly I envy your Cordon Bleu classes!Alpha Baker Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362064527893799872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134505246958519168.post-48145801172049019252010-12-06T19:20:39.277-08:002010-12-06T19:20:39.277-08:00I find I have similar problems with making caramel...I find I have similar problems with making caramel/reading the candy thermometer. I think your method has worked best for me too: use the thermometer as a guideline and just keep a close eye on it. <br /><br />Anyway, I too didn't want to shell out the cash for the fleur de sel, so I used sea salt. Mine was the extra coarse kind, so it probably didn't taste as strong to me because the larger pieces meant they weren't as spread out through the caramel as yours was. Or something like that. But thanks for the idea; I'm totally asking for fleur de sel in my stocking now!<br /><br />Your brownies look awesome, and yes, they freeze incredibly well!Brihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04676062969325270332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134505246958519168.post-36708035812532549272010-12-06T11:56:58.072-08:002010-12-06T11:56:58.072-08:00those look great!

I was sure I had the fleur de sel ... but it was actually vanilla salt - NOT THE SAME THING! the coarse sea salt still worked out. and my caramel burnted before hitting 350 F too ... so the second time round I just paid attention to the time - 6 minutes is perfect caramel for me! thanks for sharing your tips.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134505246958519168.post-18215539454869613312010-12-06T07:29:40.450-08:002010-12-06T07:29:40.450-08:00Andrea, fleur de sel on a Christmas list -lol-only...Andrea, fleur de sel on a Christmas list -lol-only a foodie would have that on their list-other women want diamonds -just give us specialty food items ! My hubby loves the end pieces too-I had to create a little aluminum foil collar to put around the outside edges to stop them from getting any darker. Nice job and I too love the plate .Roadtrek Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13613040285492585556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134505246958519168.post-54954978323587114152010-12-05T20:02:57.226-08:002010-12-05T20:02:57.226-08:00ECL, thanks!

I found the fleur de sel, but it was just out of my price range for specialty ingredients right now.<br /><br />Elaine, thanks! The funny thing is the plate came from TJMaxx. I went there looking for pretty, inexpensive plates for my blog.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11219860093366793324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134505246958519168.post-8149408669567098222010-12-05T17:53:30.231-08:002010-12-05T17:53:30.231-08:00I have a 'thing' for plates and yours is s...I have a 'thing' for plates and yours is so pretty, not to mention your brownie!Elainehttp://ecalifornialiving.blogspot.com/2010/12/baked-sunday-morning-sweet-salty.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134505246958519168.post-23474188431187544682010-12-05T16:30:25.678-08:002010-12-05T16:30:25.678-08:00ב''ה
