Caramel is created by cooking sugar to a high-enough temperature that it begins to brown—or caramelize. It also develops that incredible caramel flavor. The color can range from light to very dark depending on how long it cooks.

If you've just finished making a caramel sauce and think that the sauce is too thin, let the caramel sauce simmer and cook down on your stovetop. Try cooking for about 10 minutes for a thick sauce. As the liquid in the caramel sauce evaporates, you'll be left with a thicker sauce.

Caramel is made by heating sugar (either with a liquid or by itself, more on that below!) in a heavy-bottomed saucepan until it melts and becomes clear. The liquefied sugar is then cooked, without stirring, until it darkens in color, taking on additional flavor notes the longer it remains on the heat.

The water evaporates, leaving sugar crystals behind. If even one sugar crystal falls back into the pan of cooking caramel, it starts a chain reaction of sugar crystals and the entire pan will harden. The result? Gross, grainy caramel that is unusable in most recipes.

Once the sugar has all dissolved and turned brown, we add butter. The heat of the caramel will melt the butter and create even more wonderful flavors.

So is cooking caramel the same as kicap manis? Not quite. They both have sugar but while kicap manis is just sweet, sweet, sweet, our savoury caramel is a little sweet with salty, slightly bitter and smoky undertones.

Caramel can be produced in so many forms such as, sauce, a chewy candy, or a hard candy because of how much of an ingredient is added and the temperature it is being prepared at.

What happens when you cook caramel? ›

As it continues to cook, it begins to change color and caramelize. The cascade of molecular changes that ensues creates hundreds of distinct flavors including butterscotch, toasted nuts, and sweet rum. As cooking continues, the cooked sugar becomes less sweet, and bitter notes can creep in.
