Would this work for making licorice flavored caramels?

I think so. If your recipe calls for an extract, you can use an oil, but use less as oils are much more concentrated. If you're wondering about the flavor, yes, anise tastes very similar to licorice, though botanically they're different.

The biscotti recipe I use calls for 2 Tablespoons of Anise Extract or 1 Tablespoon of Anise Oil. Too much of the Oil can be overwhelming. Good Luck!

Absolutely! I made them according to this recipe using anise oil, and they were delicious:http://allrecipes.com/recipe/licorice-caramels/detail.aspx(If you ever had Callard & Bowser's licorice toffee, these were exactly like those!)

Beth, I would think it would work. Give it a try and let us know how they came out. Good luck.

I myself never thought that anise tasted like licorice so it would be a matter of choice

I don't believe they would be good if you baked them. They are fairly thin and I think they would burn. I use them for choc caramel tarts which is cooked before filled.

I use mine for creme brle with no problems. However, I use a very small chef's torch.

Yes. I use it for ice cream, watermelon and cantaloupe. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.

Yes your recipe will work, but remember that is a removeable bottom so the recipe cannot be liquid intense. Needs to have a crust of some type or will leak

Absolutely. I only use it for making French bread in a bread machine. It has worked great for me for years.

Yes, this could work well for that purpose. Keep in mind the cup capacity of this appliance. You won't want to fill it to the top with your sauce. As long as you do that, you should be fine. I've been able to get smooth purees-- it's great for that.

Yes! I use it to make creme brulee, souffles, mexican hot chocolate. Much better than a regular whisk. It is well worth the money.

Yes, I have used it to make truffles. Just the one side of course. Very yummy!

NOT CLEAR ON THIS. I bought to flavor vodka with sour cherries. They are pyrex I think--so you might be able to do it unless it was superhot oil which would make the glass go into thermal shock.

Yes it does. I use it for hard candy, taffy, and even frosting. Be careful! Very hot. 1 tsp is too hot for some

Yes it would, I just had a slushie made on this model at a friend's place, which is why I'm snagging one now. Just look up "slush syrup" or "snow cone syrup"... the options are limitless. You can also use juice, which I have to say is pretty great. Pineapple and orange in a slush, with a bit of simple syrup and lemon juice is awesome. (simple syrup: cook equal amounts of sugar and water for about 15 minutes below a simmer)

I don't know. All I have used it for is jellies and jams. I would think it would work great if one were making cottage cheese or cheese curds so maybe it would be okay for pudding.

Don;t see why not--it was designed and created for making sauerkraut and other fermented vegetables. Give it a try.

Sure. I don't see why it wouldn't work just fine for food. I have the kit and use it all the time fo small products.

I would imagine that you could. I use it for my meringue cookies. A little goes a long way.

It should, as there a smaller tool that looks like it would be best for lemons and limes. Hope this helps!
