If your caramel corn sticks together and becomes difficult
to separate, adding lecithin will help. Randy Hofberger of R&D Consultants
advises mixing lecithin with a little oil and adding this mixture at the end of
your caramel corn recipe. This will help the caramel spread apart easier and
save you the hassle of manually pulling it apart.
Allergy Alert! It
is advised that individuals with soy allergies do not consume products that
contain lecithin. Although lecithin is a byproduct of soy, there is always a
chance soy protein will find its way into lecithin. Lecithin derived from
sunflower or canola are more allergy-friendly alternatives to soy.
Don’t cry over
spilled lecithin.
Resist the urge to clean spilled lecithin with a damp
cloth or spray cleaner, which will only gump up and make it worse. Instead,
cover the spill with sugar and it will clean right up.
