Precipitate
So, I was trying to make the smoked pistachio brittle again this morning. “Easy!” I thought.
I lightly smoked the pistachios, and while they cooked I weighed out the sugar and water to the nearest gram. They got hot. They got hotter. Everything was fine. And then...
Suddenly, I had a pot of damp sugar crystals. For some reason, the sugar precipitated out of solution. What did I do wrong?
Breakfast of champions.
