Caramel (IPA: ['kærəˌmɛl], also ['kɑrˌməl] in some U.S. regions) is a food which has a colour from orange to dark brown and a sweet toasted flavour, derived from the caramelization of sugar.
It is also commonly used as a food colouring (with the E number E150).
Various candies, confections, and desserts are made with caramel: caramel apples, barley sugar, caramel with nuts (such as praline, nougat, or brittle), and caramel with custard (such as crème caramel or crème brûlée).

Food scorches easily toward the end of drying time; therefore, turn the heat off when drying is almost complete and open the door wide for an additional hour or so.

Operation is simple: to chop, mince, blend or puree, put the food into the workbowl, put the lid in place (be sure to put the food pusher into the feed tube to keep food from splattering out!), and turn it on.

Note however, that you cannot use the chute attachment for food that you want to mince or puree, since those functions require that the food be placed and contained within the workbowl, where the chopping blade can wreak its havoc on the food continuously.
