Sugar Stages Mode 

What is it?

Sugar stages are the different levels of consistency that sugar reaches when it is heated. During this process, the sugar changes in terms of texture, colour, and taste, depending on the temperature, time and proportion of water and sugar. This allows you to create different types of sweets (e.g. fudge, toffee) or confections (e.g. caramel, honeycomb) using Guided Cooking.

How does it work?

Sugar cooked to different temperatures produces different textures and flavours – from fudge (112-116°C) to liquid caramel (170°C). Sugar Stages mode precisely cooks ingredients to these specific temperatures.

Works best for:

• The sweet lover looking to make their own treats at home.
• Patisserie chefs looking for easier ways to make caramel and confectionary.
• Perfectionist looking to perfect different sugar techniques every time with the touch of a button.

Important:

• • To guarantee the success of recipes using Sugar Stages mode, the ingredients used must exactly match the quantities and descriptions specified. The recipe should also be cooked immediately after placing the ingredients in the mixing bowl.
• • If using Sugar Stages in TM6: The splash guard is not required for all Sugar Stages recipes. Use it when instructed in Guided Cooking to avoid hot splashes. For safety reasons, the splash guard should not be used to replace the simmering basket on top of the mixing bowl lid.
