My thermometer talks and only goes up to 240 degrees. Yes, patience is necessary when making candy. My caramels take about 20 minutes before anything interesting begins to happen, because the heat has to be rather low. Close your eyes the next time you boil water. Without any visual distractions, you might hear it better. Thanks for the compliment on our independence. Such positive words are much welcomed.
