You will need to test the taffy by dropping a little bit in cold water. When the taffy in the water forms a "hard ball," it is ready. It is interesting to test the taffy along the way. At first it will just dissolve in the water. As it cooks more you will be able to form a ball with it. At first the ball of taffy will be soft (soft ball stage), getting more firm the longer you cook it. Eventually it will form a hard ball. If you cook it too long, it will turn hard as soon as it touches the cold water and you will be able to break it. Good luck with your taffy. I hope this helps.
i have no clue
They 'reach' it by heating up the liquid till boiling point is reached.
First, round the chop meat to be a ball...
Boil it
If the boil is deep and difficult to reach, it's best to seek medical help from a healthcare professional. They can drain the boil safely and may prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection. Do not attempt to pop or drain the boil yourself as this can lead to further complications.
i think it's gonna inflate and explode
Cake will reach its combustion point before it reaches a boil.
A small amount of water will reach it's boiling point sooner than a large amount of water. It will not boil faster.
In some cases, Yes. When making yogurt or ice cream you want to scald it (not boil it). You can tell when it is scalded by the tiny bubbles that will form around the edges.
boil it in water, the dent should rise back up unless there is a crack
Slower, the more water, the more time required to reach boiling temp.
A false boil is basically a cooking "old wives tale." It was based on the assumption that placing a lid on a pot of water to boil it caused pressure to build up which caused air bubbles to be forced into the water, giving an appearance of a boil, when boiling temperature had not actually been reached. In actuality, the lid helps the water to reach the boiling point faster.
