Metal Around Fudge
by Dodo
(Chicago)
Is it safe to use metal around fudge?
Stirring fudge after boiling is tiring. Is there a problem with putting my fudge into my heavy duty mixer and letting it do the heavy work?
The mixer bowl would be metal. Have you heard a problem with metal coming in contact with fudge? One cooks it in a metal pan, so I am wondering what problem I might encounter with my metal mixing bowl.
Hi Dodo,
I agree that stirring fudge is tiring. I always try to get my husband involved in that part of the process to give my muscles a break. :)
I don't know of any reason why you can't put the fudge into a mixing bowl - glass, metal, or plastic. I am not aware of any problem of having metal around fudge.
You would need a fairly heavy duty mixer to handle the stiffness of fudge, but if you have one, GO FOR IT!
Let us know how you find it - easier or not worth it.
Now, I'm drooling for some fudge myself! :)
