Dry Caramel Tips
The important thing when making the caramel is not to stir itas it will crystallise and turn clumpy and grainy and there is no going back from crystallization, other than to start again.
Heat sugar over low heat to start the sugar melting, tilting and swirling the pan to incorporate the dry sugar into the melted caramel until you have a fluid golden, amber liquid.
Leaf gelatine
Leaf gelatine comes in different strengths: bronze, silver, gold or platinum. Each has a different strength or ‘bloom’ with bronze the weakest, and platinum the strongest.
Tips
don’t let the gelatine leaves soak in the water for too long as this will diminish its setting properties (around 5 minutes is enough time).
make sure your liquid is not boiling when you add the gelatine as this will weaken the set.

Making praline is simply melting the sugar until it’s a golden to deep brown colour (depending on how you like your caramel) then pouring the caramel over nuts to cover and allow to cool. You can either blitz the praline in a food processor or pop the praline in a ziplock bag and gently tap with a rolling pin or other heavy object to the desired size.

So, this one little green tree frog has been driving Cooper crazy for weeks. In the beginning the frog moved into a gutter on the roof and each night it would come down to the verandah for food, Cooper discovered the frogs ritual and can be found waiting for the frog each night.
Amazingly the frog seems to know Cooper is harmless, so it goes about his business. Cooper usually spends an hour or so nightly following the frog around the veranda.

Making matters worse is the fact that there are so many different types of gelatin, it's hard to say just how much of any one type to add. That's why most recipes call for way more gelatin than needed, which makes the Panna Cotta hard.
Similar in texture to an Italian panna cotta, crème caramel is actually made without the addition of gelatin or starches: the eggs will thicken the mixture themselves and, with gentle and careful cooking, will give you a perfect texture, smooth and compact, but at the same time enveloping and velvety.
Scientific research has shown that salt actually increases the ability of your tongue receptors to detect sweetness and on top of that, it blocks the taste of bitterness. Put simply, it is a natural flavour enhancer.
Sprinkle 100g of the sugar into a non-stick frying pan, add 3 tablespoons of water and place on a medium heat for about 8 minutes, or until you've got a chestnut brown caramel – don't be tempted to stir or taste it, just gently swirl the pan occasionally. Quickly and carefully divide the caramel between the ramekins.
Panna cotta can always be the right dessert — whether you're throwing a fancy party or a small one, have lots of time or no time, are gluten-free, dairy-free, allergy-prone, vegan, or simply craving a delicious and creamy sweet. It's perfect.
What is the difference between panna cotta and Bavarian cream? While both desserts are thickened with gelatin, panna cotta is made without egg. Bavarian cream on the other hand includes eggs as well as whipped cream which has been folded into the mixture before setting.
Panna cotta is a gelatinized cream, much like an aspic.Creme brulee is a custard made with eggs. Both are thickened sweet cream, one is cooked on top of the stove and the other is baked in the oven; one is thickened in the refrigerator with gelatin while the other is thickened in the oven by the eggs.
Highlights. Panna Cotta is a smooth, creamy dessert of Italian origin. Creme Brulee is famous because it is usually topped with brown sugar. Flan refers to a sweet custard-like dessert, topped with caramel.
Taste Experience: Including salt in caramel adds a savoury element that appeals to those who enjoy a balance of sweet and savoury flavours. It elevates the taste experience by offering a more rounded and sophisticated flavour.
We are neurologically hardwired that way, apparently. The combination of salty and sweet flavours, plus fat, found in salted caramel releases an unusually intense rush of morphine-like endogenous opioids – or endorphins – in the brain.
Be very careful as you heat your caramel. Follow the recipe carefully, and never melt your caramel on your stove's highest setting—it will cause the caramel to scorch and taste burnt. Once it gets a burnt or bitter flavor, it can't be saved.
Mix the water and sugar in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sugar dissolves. Do not stir. ...
Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramel dissolves and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature, at least 4 hours.
Add acid. Acid ingredients (like vinegar or lemon juice) can help prevent re-crystallization which causes caramel to become grainy. Acid physically breaks the bonds between the glucose and fructose molecules that form sucrose and ensure that it stays apart.
Might try to leave it out of the fridge for one hour to bring it up to room temperature. This will soften the panna cotta. If it's still to hard it would be possible to reheat it and add more cream + sugar and chill it again. Gelatine can be remelted.
If your panna cotta hasn't set, it's not that there is too much liquid in the recipe. It is because you haven't cooked your panna cotta mixture for long enough. I find around the 20 minute mark is a good length of time to cook the mixture on low. This seems to be sufficient time to allow the agar agar to gel.
When you boil gelatin, it loses its thickening power and won't set up as desired. The other issue is not giving the panna cotta enough time to set up. On your next go, take a look at Faith's tutorial and follow the panna cotta ratio below.
If the panna cotta refuses to let go, try quickly dipping the mold in hot water and trying again. One trick is to brush a very thin layer of flavorless oil on the inside of each mold before pouring in the mixture. If the panna cotta absolutely won't come out, get a spoon and enjoy it straight from the dish...
