Question about making toffee

[Gisele]

Just finished batch number of four of my toffee and yes as you stir and the butter sugar and water turn Caramel color you,will start to see smoke (steam) rising from the mixture. That is when you remove it from the heat and add the vanilla. So sorry, smoke does not equal burnt or fire.

Lol....oh that kind of smoke.

I don't do anything to the pan. Just pour the hot toffee in and use pot holders to slowly tip to spread. Add chocolate, pecans and into the fridge.
