In any case, these types of mixers are the more convenient option. An electric mixer may be better for whipping the egg whites. A heavy-duty stand mixer will also reveal its worth when the time to combine the egg mixture with the sugar syrup comes. If you decide to add nuts to your nougat, the most common type is to process almonds with the nougat.  Finally, a nougat cutting machine gets the sweets ready for the market.

It’s important to get the temperature just right when cooking the syrup. Ideally, the cooking temperature should not exceed 148 °C (300 °F) . Use a candy thermometer and an industrial cooker for medium to large scale production of nougats.

While nougat does not contain traces of gluten, it may still trigger allergic reactions in some consumers due to its (fairly) high content of allergens such as eggs and nuts. These reactions can be fatal, which is why it’s important for you to clearly mention these items in your list of ingredients. By extension, nougat is also not an option for vegans or vegetarians, since it contains eggs and honey. In a much broader sense, because it involves animal byproducts, which contributes to pollution and climate change, nougat production does have a negative impact on the environment.
