In what specific type of vessel are Gebrannte Mandeln caramelized for customers?

Answer

Huge copper kettles

Gebrannte Mandeln, or candied almonds, are essential to the sensory experience due to their strong, sweet aroma which competes with that of Glühwein. The crucial element in their preparation is the equipment used: they are caramelized directly in front of patrons inside huge copper kettles. This process involves continuously stirring the almonds with sugar until the sugar melts completely and forms a hard, crunchy, sugary coating around each nut. They are then typically sold quickly in a paper cone, allowing customers to carry and enjoy the warm, crunchy snack while moving through the market.
