How do I use Cambie Caramel Loaf in my kitchen?

Using the caramel loaf is straightforward: unwrap, warm gently until fluid, and apply by dipping, drizzling, or stirring. Heat at low temperatures (125–150°F) to preserve the texture and avoid burning. The product is formulated for quick melt-down and easy handling during production runs.

• Warm in a double boiler or warm-water bath at 125–150°F
• Dip apples, pretzels, or confections directly after liquefying
• Drizzle over ice cream, cakes, or pastries with a spoon or piping bag
• Fold into ganache or use as a filling for truffles and turtles

How much does one 5 lb loaf cover and how should I store leftovers?

Coverage varies by application and size, but a single 5 lb block typically covers about 25–30 medium apples when used as a coating. After heating, unused caramel can be cooled, rewrapped, and refrigerated. For longer storage, keep unopened loaves in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight.

• Approximate coating: 25–30 medium apples per 5 lb loaf
• Store unopened in a cool, dry area; avoid direct sunlight
• Refrigerate leftover caramel wrapped tightly; gently reheat before reuse
• Use low, controlled heat to maintain quality when reheating

Does the caramel require special equipment or skills to work with?

No specialized confectionery skills are required—just basic warming tools and good temperature control. The loaf is designed to melt cleanly and remain pourable at moderate low heat, so even busy kitchens can adopt it easily. Professionals will appreciate consistent results; small operations will enjoy the time savings.

• Recommended: double boiler, bain-marie, or low-temperature melter
• Use a thermometer to keep between 125–150°F while melting
• Piping bags, dipping forks, and spatulas work well for application
• No need to cook sugar or watch for crystallization
