In the mean time oil about four dowel rods or wooden spoon handles, and stick them in drawers leaving about 10 inches or so sticking out. Place clean paper on floor. When syurp reaches hard crack stage (when you dip a fork in, the syurp and pick it up it will spinn a fine thread) take three or four forkd held together or a whisk and dip in syurp move rapidly back and forth over spoon handles hold whisk about 7 to 12 inches above handles. keep dipping and spinning. When spoon is full, pick up from the bottom with oiled hands, a place on clean flat surface, continue the above process until syrup is used up. If syurp starts to get hard place pan in a bowl of hot water. This makes a nice centerpice of Easter dinner shaped into a nest w/ colored Easter eggs. Looks beautiful around a wedding cake. Have fun & enjoy. Sheri
