Spanish term

satinar, satinado

Spanish to English Other Cooking / Culinary
En la elaboración del azúcar estirado (pulled sugar), al proceso de aportar brillo al azúcar o caramelo se lo conoce con el nombre técnico de 'satinar', y decimos que el azúcar está 'satinado' (no brillante, aunque visualmente sea lo mismo). Cuál es el nombre técnico en inglés?

to gloss, glossy appearance/gloss

I'm no pastry chef, but as verb it would be to gloss. Pulled sugar can also have a gloss, or glossy appearance.

http://www.candymaking.net/page4/prephintandrecipe6.html

When the sugar is cool enough to handle, roll it into a ball
and pull with the fingers from the two sides, turning the
ends over from side to side and into the center.
Be careful that all parts are equally pulled. Very soon the
sugar will take on a white sheen and become whiter and
whiter. Care should be taken that it does not become too
cold. While shaping the pulled sugar into fancy forms, it
should be pulled near the heat of an oven or in front of a
batch warmer, and it should not be overheated. It should
not be worked too hot, otherwise it loses its glossy
appearance. Flowers made with pulled sugar are very
effective in appearance. To retain their gloss, it is
necessary to keep them in an air-tight glass case.

neutral Carol Gullidge : as far as I know, the verb "to gloss" isn't used in culinary contexts

yes I think you are right 'to provide/give a glossy appearance' could be a way to phrase the verb

to glaze, glazed

creo que es eso, pero los terminos de cocina son muy especificos y aunque otros traduciones pueden ser posibles, si es para cocinar quizas lo encuentras en el siguiente website: http://www.clabbergirl.com/Glossarypage.htm, u otros entrando 'baking terms' en google search bar
Siento no tener tiempo ahora para averiguar.
Note from asker:
I'm sorry, but glazing is a different technique, at least for haute pâtisserie, and could be confusing.

agree Mariana Solanet : exactly! Glaze is to coat with something sweet.

If you pay no attention to me, you'll also have to ignore the 35,000 references to glossy pulled taffy on the internet...but that's your prerogative...

it is not covered in glaze, it has a satiny (glossy) appearance
neutral neilmac : IMO this is for magazines. I'm a keen cook myself...

Have you ever seen taffy pulled? It takes on a, and there's no better way to say it, glossy look after it's pulled for the right amount of time - it's not shiny, it's satiny (glossy)
