Why sugar not heated directly with a Bunsen flame?

Sugar should not be heated directly with a Bunsen flame because it can quickly melt and possibly catch fire. The high heat can cause rapid caramelization and the release of flammable gases, leading to a potential fire hazard. It is safer to use indirect heat sources, such as a double boiler or a hot plate, to heat sugar gradually and prevent overheating.

Can hair catch on fire?

If your hair catches on fire immediately dump water on your hair. If there is no water, try to smother the flame with a cloth, blanket, or towel. Your shirt might work, but if its too thin, air will still feed the flame and your shirt will catch on fire as well. I recommend a thick cloth like a sweatshirt. If your shirt DOES catch on fire carry out the standard stop, drop, and roll procedure.
