It doesn't take that long to melt sugar, maybe about 3 minutes for me. You have a to add a certain amount of water proportionate to the sugar(4:1, sugar:water for example). This will speed up the process and will prevent your sugar from burning. You don't use a double boiler for melting sugar. Direct heat works well, just remember to have a brush handy and a cup of water. While the sugar is boiling, brush the sides of the inside of the pot, but NOT touching the melted sugar. This will prevent any syrup from burning in the sides when they reduce down and will prevent any "black" specks of burnt sugar in your syrup. I have never melted sugar without water, that would kind of be tough to control and impossible to reduce, making a sticky and burnt situation.

Melting butter is much quicker if the butter starts out at room temperature. The colder the butter the longer it takes to melt.

How long will it take sugur to melt ice in water?

The time it takes for sugar to melt ice in water can vary depending on factors like the temperature of the water, the amount of sugar added, and how well the sugar is mixed in.

Why does sugar melt faster in coffee whether hot or cold when it is stirred?

The sugar does not melt. It dissolves. The rate of dissolution can be increased by agitation (i.e. stirring or shaking) because it moves the sugar to less concentrated parts of the water. When less sugar is already dissolved, further sugar will dissolve quicker; if left alone, the sugar must gradually diffuse, and this can take a relatively long time.

Best to use softened butter (room temperature). That will be plenty soft enough. If you use melted butter (example for cookies, etc.) your batter will spread too much in the initial cooking and baked cookies will be paper thin and hard as a rock!Melted butter is also hot, and can curdle milk if mixed. Not good.
