The rock in the donut

[Dasher]

Don’t know how many people here have bakeries but ran into a situation where the customer complained of finding a pebble in their donut.
Luckily I have a hood camera on my phone to zoom in and see up close. The actual picture had me scratching my head. It wasn’t until I scraped the side of the object that I found out that it was actually a crystal, most likely sugar. So no harm, no foul.

put it in hot water, if it doesn't dissolve, maybe its a diamond and you can retire.

Wow, that's quite a story! It's great that you had a way to check the issue closely and figured out it was just sugar. It’s definitely a relief when something that seems like a big problem turns out to be a simple mix-up. I guess it's a good reminder to always keep an eye out for anything unusual during baking. Thanks for sharing this experience; it’s always good to learn from each other’s situations!
