Pour the syrup from the pan onto a cool, oiled work surface. A marble slab or heat-safe cutting board works perfectly. Allow the syrup to sit and cool for a minute, until a skin has formed on the surface. With an oiled metal bench scraper or metal spatula, begin to work the syrup by folding the edges into the center. Continue turning and working the syrup until it is just cool enough to handle.
