How to make Sugar Glass

Step 3: The Mold and the Pour

The simplest mold to use is just a big cookie sheet. I used a standard 17"x11" size. First thing you want to do is spray the crap out of your sheet with cooking spray. This will allow the glass to come out of the mold when dry. Now once your sugar glass mix comes off the stove it will start to dry fast. So don't wait long to pour. Go slow making sure to spread the mix evenly across the mold. I even picked up the mold and rocked it back and forth to get the mix level and in all the corners.



There might be some small bubbles on the surface. Most of these should go away, but feel free to (carefully) pop them with something pointy. Now just wait 1 hour!

Old chef's trick: to get the bubbles out, pour VERY SLOWLY, thin enough that bubbles can't form in the stream.

Tall pour - thin stream - no bubbles =)

wouldn't the stuff start hardening though?

I've not had that experience. Usually there's enough residual heat that it won't harden right away.

If you pour high and evenly, you should avoid bubbles just fine.

Ok, thanks

Also try running a cooking blowtorch over the top in a quick smoth motion this will break the top of the bubbles and remelt them back in
