Okay, so today I’m messing around with sugar, yeah, just regular old sugar.
First off, I grabbed some white sugar, you know, the usual stuff you find in any kitchen, also known as table sugar. I dumped a bunch of it in a bowl and started playing around.
Experiment 1: Melting
I put some of that sugar in a pan and turned up the heat.
- Watched it melt. It turned into this clear, sticky goo.
- Kept heating it, and it started to brown. Caramelization, they call it. Smelled pretty good, not gonna lie.
- If you heat it too much, it burns. Made that mistake. Oops.
Experiment 2: Dissolving
Next, I took another spoonful of the white sugar and stirred it into a glass of water.
- Stirred it for a bit, and bam, it vanished! Well, not really, but you know what I mean.
- Tried it with hot water too. Dissolved even faster.
Experiment 3: Tasting Different Forms
After all that, I was curious about different types of sugar, so I experimented with granulated sugar.
Granulated sugar is some refined sugar, looks pretty similar to the white sugar but maybe a bit coarser.
- I tasted a little bit of the white sugar, then a little bit of granulated sugar.
- Granulated sugar felt a bit rougher on my tongue.
- Did the same dissolving test with the granulated sugar. Worked just like the white sugar.
So, that’s what I did with sugar today. It might seem basic, but you can actually do a lot with just some simple sugar. It’s pretty cool to see it change forms and figure out how it behaves under different conditions. Messing around in the kitchen can be fun, and you learn a lot too.
