The squares are then cut out wrth

Nougat frames are made of wood,

Rubber mats are used for the
molding of fondants. They come

innumerable designs, and the
candies cast in them are perfectly
shaped and delicately molded.
Saucepans may be made of cop-

aluminurn. They must be lSept

small lipped pans, holding adout
one pint each, are convenient for

confectioner's thermometer is
required for candymaking, so that
the sirup may be removed from
correct
temperature. Such thermometers
are made of wood, nickei, brass
or copper, and the degrees on
them should mark not less than
320"F. A thermometer should always be iowered gently into the
boiling sugar.
When not in use,
it

preparation of homemade candres.
Therefore rt is supremely important that they be of the highest
