OK, so I just made the pumpkin salted caramels -- now how do I clean up my whisk, pot, etc??

Hot water is going to be your friend here. Boil water in the pot. Soak your whisk in there too. The sugar should dissolve.

thanks! I was thinking boiling was going to be the answer -- but I don't want to accidentally make more caramel :)

Just fill the pot up with water and a few drops of soap. Boil it for awhile until the all the burnt sugar comes off form the sides of the pot.

thanks to both -- it worked like a charm ... now if I could just speed time so the caramels cool enough to cut and eat them!
