My mother put me onto this recipe. And my mother doesn’t love cooking like I do, so I knew it had to be something special. If you have a crockpot<\/strong> and a full day<\/strong> to spend waiting for the crockpot to whip up the best and easiest batch of caramel you’ve ever had, this recipe is for you too. Making caramel can be a nerve wracking experience with the threat of burning the sugar always looming. This method takes a lot longer, but it also takes all the stress away leaving you with a perfect batch of caramel to eat with apples, in or on desserts, and any other way you enjoy caramel.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Sweetened condensed milk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      How to make caramel in a crockpot?<\/h2>\n

      Step 1: Prepare crockpot<\/b><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Fill your crockpot with water. The water level should be 1-2 inches above the can when laid on its side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Step 2: Cook caramel in can<\/b><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Add unopened can of sweetened condensed milk to the crockpot. Cover and cook for 8-9 hours on high.<\/li>\n
        • All crockpot temperatures vary, and many of them only have \u201clow\/medium\/high\u201d. The water in my crockpot had a temperature of 212 degrees Fahrenheit, so adjust your settings accordingly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Step 3: Let it cool<\/b><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Let the can cool completely. Do NOT open the can before it has cooled completely. Molten lava-like caramel could splatter everywhere if you don\u2019t.<\/li>\n
          • If you can carefully remove the can from the crockpot\/water, it will speed up the cooling time. If not, be patient. It\u2019s better than being covered in scalding hot caramel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

             <\/p>\n

            What\u2019s the science behind making caramel in a crockpot?<\/h2>\n
            \n

            Caramelization is a chemical process that occurs when sugar is heated, leading to the browning and development of complex flavors.<\/b><\/p>\n

            When using a crockpot, the slow and steady application of low heat allows the sugar to caramelize gradually without the risk of burning<\/b>. The gentle heat of the crockpot promotes even browning and ensures that the sugar melts and caramelizes uniformly.<\/p>\n

            Additionally, the enclosed environment of the can in the crockpot helps to trap steam, which condenses and drips back into the caramel, aiding in the prevention of crystallization<\/b>. This slow evaporation of moisture contributes to the smooth texture of the caramel.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

            Ways to adjust and enjoy your crockpot caramel<\/h2>\n
              \n
            • The color of your caramel will vary based on how long it cooks. Around 5 hours makes a blonde, nougat-flavored caramel. Cooking for around 8-9 hours will result in a thicker, darker brown caramel.<\/li>\n
            • I love to add it to ice cream or as a dip for apple slices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
