Mirror Mirror in the Pan… Who’s the Greatest Wizard in all the Land? Make your own edible MIRROR pane following these simple steps:
What you need:
YOU ARE!
• Flat-bottomed baking dish/ tray at least 20 cm by 15 cm • 1 X frying pan • 125 g white sugar • Your ‘pet’ adult (someone to help you) • Egg Flip
What you do: 1. Place the baking dish/tray in the fridge for 2 hours 2. Once the 2 hours is up, pour the sugar into the frying pan. Younger wizards should ask their ‘pet’ adult to heat and stir the sugar. The sugar will turn yellow and melt into a gooey brown liquid. The liquid needs to be stirred until all the sugar has melted. Be careful not to let the mixture burn! 3. Ask your ‘pet’ adult to carefully pour the hot sugary liquid into the baking dish/tray and quickly tilt the dish so that the liquid spreads as widely and thinly as possible. 4. Place the dish in the fridge for one hour to cool. 5. Use the Egg Flip to lift the “glass” in once piece.
You should find: The liquid has hardened into a see-through substance that looks like glass. And you can eat it.
