Ensure the can is always fully submerged in water during simmering to prevent any risk of explosion. Cooling the can completely is essential for safety and allows the caramel to thicken properly. For a thicker caramel, simmer for an additional 30-60 minutes, checking water levels more frequently. Add a pinch of sea salt to the finished caramel for a delightful salted caramel variation.
