What is the best way to determine the melting point of sugar?

The best way to determine the melting point of sugar is by using a thermometer. Heat a small amount of sugar in a dry pan over medium-high heat until it turns into a clear, golden liquid. Then use a thermometer to measure the temperature at which the sugar begins to melt and record the reading. Repeat this process with different amounts of sugar until you have enough data points to calculate an average melting point for that batch of sugar.
