  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the bananas in the pan, make sure not to overcrowd them. This will help them caramelize evenly.
  • Cook the bananas over medium heat: Cooking the bananas over medium heat will help them caramelize slowly and evenly.
  • Stir the bananas frequently: Stir the bananas frequently to prevent them from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the bananas from burning.
  • Add the sugar gradually: When adding the sugar to the bananas, do it gradually. This will help prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
  • Don't overcook the caramel: Once the caramel has reached a light amber color, remove it from the heat immediately. Overcooking the caramel will make it bitter.
