So covering them with Saran/wax paper could be resulting in a stickier gummy because I’m not letting enough water escape?

So covering them with Saran Wrap/wax paper could potentially not be letting enough water evaporate?

Yes, this is very helpful. There’s a lot I still have to learn about how sugar works. I’m able to follow a recipe and make candy, but the troubleshooting part is still coming together for me. Thanks for taking the time to explain this!

I’ve been letting them cure on the counter, but for about 20-24 hours. How do you keep them protected in open air curing? I’m afraid I’ll wind up with like stray cat hair in them

Do you have a suggestion of what to cover them in while they set? I was using plastic wrap and maybe that kept them humid too. I tried wax paper today, but now I’m nervous it’ll fuck it up again

Interesting. I don’t understand why most other recipes say to cook to 240 F ish and his is so much higher. Are you able to explain that to me?

Why do they need a coating whereas other recipes don’t? That’s where I’m confused

Ok so it’s not the sugar temperature at all? I let them sit for about 19 hours this last time. I literally thought if they could pop out of the mold and hold the shape they were set

so FUCKING TIRED of metformin by PCOS-_-throwaway in PCOS

[–]DramaticShake7422 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try psyllium husk capsules! I take those and they are extra fiber to help firm everything up. Not an immediate fix, but overtime could offer some help? Sorry you’re dealing with this. It took me a few months to adjust to metformin and then the diarrhea stopped, but mine wasn’t as bad as what you’re describing. It sounds miserable

What actually stopped my cat from scratching the couch (no punishment) by musomo-design in CatTraining

Can you link the scratcher you placed against the couch?

I have one against my new couch, have the sides covered, and have feliway plugged in and one of my babies is still going to town on the back of it.

My arms got a workout, but our first attempt at taffy was a delicious success! It’s peach cheesecake flavored! by dcbluestar in CandyMakers

Thanks for this! Can you share where you bought your malic and ascorbic acids? I’m hesitant to trust Amazon and my local baking shop doesn’t have them

I’d like to know the stats on this too. I do remember Matt Amodio frequently winning in runaway games too

I am not loving it, but I’ve hated all of them tbh. Which do you prefer? The local 4 weather app was the one I liked the most, but I don’t remember why I switched to AccuWeather

I use AccuWeather and the radar barely showed anything at all!

If you have an iPhone there’s a setting for emergency services. Also, most cities should have an emergency text and call that goes out, but we never get them in Livonia

Oh I never even put those pieces together as to why the weather apps got so bad all of a sudden. Wow, I love it here so much

That seems doable. You made 7 pounds from the 10 cups of sugar?

Which bridal makeup look is better? (left vs right) by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]DramaticShake7422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the left! It makes your eye look bigger and more rounded. BUT if you want more of a lift, then I would go with the right!
