Silicone Liners

This is the one item of equipment that renders making caramel accessible to all. You can pour golden hot caramel straight onto it, let it cool and/or harden, and lift it off after with no problems. This magical mat is widely available from large supermarkets, kitchenware stores, online retailers, as well as by mail order. There’s no excuse for not having one, but even if you don’t, you can still make small quantities of caramel using the base of silicone pans.
