Has anyone used this for making candy on the stove, specifically caramel? Would love some feedback.

I have several Revere Ware pans, and they have been my main cooking utensils for over fifty years. I've made more candy than I can remember. I consider Revere Ware an excellent choice.

I usually use a spray on it just to be sure. I did use it once without spraying and they came out fine but not as easily. It will probably also depends on the ingredients as well. If it is something sticky (like something with caramel, honey, etc) I would definitely spray it.

I used it to make both chocolate and poured sugar lollies, but the poured sugar does cloud the plastic (but not distort it). I made the poured sugar first and then the chocolate ones. Both turned out fine. You should fill to the VERY top though, because the stick placement is kind of high in the back of the lolly.

Yes! I used it with candy melts and was able to do a lovely job the very first time I used this mold!!!

not sure what you mean.... melted caramels inside the mold or caramel inside chocolate? I haven't tried anything caramel and don't know how it dries in comparison to chocolate. I pour hot melted chocolate into the molds and as they cool, they become harder. When they are hardened through to the touch (When I am making alot, I sometimes stick them in the freezer for a brief time period to speed this process up) Once hardened, they pop right out of the molds. There is minimal cleanup involved!

It works just fine for me. I followed the instructions exactly and use the wand that comes with it. I don't have a trick really, I'm sorry. If you can get it to work, it worked really well. We only do 1-2 pieces of candy at a time as well

I did use it to bake some cakes. I followed the same baking instructions as I do for any mini cupcake silicone bake molds. Unfortunately the cakes didn't pop out very well due the type of batter I used. Unless it is an extremely dense cake or brownie batter it won't come out easily or have any real detail to it. I mostly use them for making chocolates and flan now.

RT600C is not, in fact, designed for use by candymakers but it is among the most durable models available and registers in the right temperature range for candymaking. It has a probe that is long enough to comfortably reach down into the boiling pot but It lacks a clip and must be held by hand.

I make a cherry cobbler with 1 tbs. of red hot candy. Instead of a crust we make either cinnamon rolls or rolled-up buttered pie pasty with cinnamon-sugar sprinkle on the buttered side. I'm sure it would turn out ok with store bought products instead of homemade. My family has been using this brand since the early 50's.

I've used it for cheese, I just made sure my flame was on a lower setting so the cheese didn't burn. I'm sure chocolate would work too so long as you don't let it get too hot.

I used it for everything. Just boil to the correct consistency and it should be fine. I made a great caramel with it.

Personally, I loved all the flavors of each type of candy from the kit, probably the tastiest one of all. But anyhow, to answer your original question, it is very fun to make. There's different steps to each part, with easy picture directions on the back! I definitely recommend it

Yes, this chocolate is perfect for candy making. I love the taste because they don't use wax in their chocolate. I've made chocolate covered cherries with this chocolate and get rave reviews each time.

It gets warm, but not hot. It would keep the more liquidy form of caramel warm enough to dunk, but if your speaking in terms of caramel candy..no way. It takes over an hour to melt chocolate as it is. It also says up to 72 minutes right in the manual so they have no shame in the products inability to work right from start. It's better to use for keeping things warm (pre-melted candies).

I used it to make Salted Whiskey Carmles. It worked ok. It doesn't melt at high temps, which is good but it does dispurse heat quickly. Which can be bad if you have something in it that cools quickly, like Carmles. If your chocolate will stay liquid for a while this would work just fine.

Yes you can use it on Candy or Maple Syrup. Basically any liquid or solid that you need to get the temperature of. The Temp Range is -40 to +450. I know Maple Syrup making is quite the detailed process so hopefully someone with experience on that end can weigh in here. We have had plenty of people use the thermometer for candy making and it works perfectly

You could make hot chocolate as it has heating element. Cleaning up would be difficult since it has cutting blades. ...Any recipe you have could be used
