Can a microwave actually produce perfect peanut brittle?
In short: This video demonstrates how to use a microwave to create peanut brittle, a process that relies on specific vessel sizes and careful timing to succeed.
To begin, combine peanuts, sugar, corn syrup, and water in a microwave-safe glass bowl or measuring cup that holds at least 4 cups, though 6 cups is ideal. After microwaving on high for approximately 14 minutes—noting that actual time depends on your microwave's strength—the mixture requires butter and baking soda stirred in immediately.
The process concludes by pouring the hot mixture onto a greased cookie sheet to cool for several hours. While the brittle can be kept in a sealed container for a week or more, it may not stay fresh for longer than a day or two.
