For cotton candy, you stick the cone into the maker and move it in a circle around the heater, fairly quickly. This is why your final product is so small and you have a sugar ring. Most of your sugar is getting spun into the sides of the lid.

@ferociousgumby Год назад

Maybe he hasn't watched it being made at the fair/carnival/circus! To most of us it's a familiar sight.

@BriBCG Год назад

I could be wrong, but I'm not convinced the sugar ring had anything to do with his technique, I would think it was just sugar that wasn't quite the right temperature that got flung out. Especially being that it's a cheap consumer level machine.

@More_Row Год назад

@@BriBCG it has that ring around the heater for you to stick it down there and go in circles

@staceyotten5312 Год назад

Not enough room in the small machine to go around the heater. Also, you use more sugar in the regular size machines.

What's the maker? Is that the cotton candy industry name for the fan over the infrared bulb?

@paulalarsen7697 Год назад

I worked at the Orange county fair one summer when I turned 17. I worked at the cotton candy stand along with my future husband and future two brothers-in-law. That sugar for the cotton candy gets EVERYWHERE. You sneeze, it's cotton candy. You scratch your head, it's cotton candy. You take off your shoes after work, it's cotton candy. My brother-in-law still can't get anywhere near the stuff.

@Kmrakid Год назад

Good review. I have always found the trick to this is to let the sugar strands build up in the dome and insert the cone vertically into the dome and roll the cone along the inside. Also, any hard candies, or even regular sugar flavored or not, can be used just grind them fine before you use them. You have to try maple sugar which makes great cotton candy. Enjoy!

This is why they should have an "As Seen on TV Rental Store". Because this is something you buy once, have an absolute blast for an afternoon with the neices and nephews, total candy rage on a rainy day in as they craft confections from what appears to be thin air.... but then never use again. Really we could all just buy one and then pass it around because that's the only amount of this machine that probably a whole community would really need. I really think if there was a "Rent Some Tat" store, I would be in and out of there pretty often. Because I love tat and novelties, but the impracticality being the thing that I love is also the thing that means I can't just have a bunch of stuff I never use. I don't have the square footage for it to sit around for ten years. but I can absolutely see myself having a blowout rager with the kiddos with this

@Arcella1981 Год назад

i have used this machine for years, one thing to note, that for hard candies like jolly ranchers, i found what workd best is to grind the candy in a food processor until it is about the same consistency as sugar then mix in the jolly rancher powder in with sugar until it is a light color of the candy and incorporated, also that ring that you get around the rim after every new flaver i scrape that stuff off and put in a baggy so that i can crunch it up and reuse it

@terrancewilhite9260 Год назад

I bought one of these 3 or 4 years ago and love it. I wanted root beer cotton candy. There was a learning curve for me but in a few times use i was making small cones. I made cones with hard candy, dad's root beer barrels. After a couple tries I bought a small mortar and pestal thiings worked out. I still love it.

@Tedybear315 Год назад

Stick with the "Flossine" (cotton candy premix) It's not quite full sugar, but has the taste and properties to make the 'web' come out pretty easy. When I used to work for Chuck E working with the 'Gold Medal' cotton candy machine the clean up wasn't that bad.

@memandylov 11 месяцев назад

I've played around with this machine at a friend's house and had a ton of fun with it. The quality and consistency of the cotton candy varies wildly depending on the types of candy you use and it's fun to experiment to figure out what works and what doesn't. We had the most success using generic lollipops to make our cotton candy, but we also had a lot of success with hard butterscotch candies and even cinnamon candies (which I would highly recommend btw. 10/10 cotton candy flavors). It all really depends on the form of sugar used and the ratio of sugar to flavor components. As long as the candy is mostly made of sugar and it has similar enough properties, it'll work just as well. Basically jolly ranchers are the worst test of this machine, but most lollipops and old-fashioned grandma candies are amazing

@sublimationman Год назад

I was the technician for ShowBiz Pizza (AKA Chuck E Cheese) many years ago, I had to maintain the machine and of course used it in the process. Some people would just let the bowl fill up with cotton candy then use the cone (ours were paper of course) to dip it out then twirl it around the stick. We often also had it in bags (no cone) and they did the same but no twirling around the cone just dip t out and drop in bag.

@benmikey9283 Год назад

I saw people putting the whole candy, uncrushed in the middle using the same machine. It tuned out great, I think you should re-try making jolly ranchers cotton candy.

You put the stick/cone almost vertical between the heater and the wall and move in a circle and twist the stick/cone at the same time for best sesult. If you doo it from the top. The already formed "webb" can be sucked into the heater again. That's why he has burned marks inside the heater. You can do it from the top, but that is a difficult method to master 😉

As I recall, they had the best luck with hard candy that had a high sugar to corn syrup ratio. Jolly ranchers are definitely not the best choice for this.

I love this machine. It's easy to use & easy to clean. Just use hot water. I got it for christmas & had no hard candy except candy canes. They worked great. The secret is to pre-warm the machine. Although we prefer the sugar, we love worthers hard carmels. We also save the sugar ring for a treat later.

@machellebitton9245 22 часа назад

Don't put your cone inside the plastic ring, its dangerous. Paper cones could catch fire its so hot. The sugar is very hot & could burn you. The plastic cones that came with the machine can melt & cause burns or you could catch it on the spinning part which could cause damage to the machine & you. If you hold it just above the opening you can catch the sugar safely.

@cursedvoid Год назад

Pretty sure the reason why the Jolly Rancher's didnt work is because of the relatively low surface area compared to the sugar granules. Granules make for more even meltage and the spinning creates the webs that makes your little strings, the ranchers probably had clumped making the webbing process harder.

Saw a show years ago where an expert said to wait til it's done, then pull it out and put it on the cone. They said never to put anything in the machine, because that just causes the candy to be denser. Of course like most things, impatience won out and everyone does it this way now.

As others have mentioned, one should either crush the hard candies more finely, or just not bother. We just used whole Jolly Ranchers and it worked fine (not quite as well as proper cotton candy sugar, the results were more dense). It's good for a bit of fun, and a tasty treat.

You need to grind up the hard candy so it's the same constantly as the floss powder. Usually you let the floss spin out and build up on the side and then roll it onto the cone. I use to rent and repair cotton candy machines. The cotton candy that you're making looks like it is a good constantly.

The hard candy must be pulverized into a dust. Put the candy into the freezer and let it freeze hard. If you have chunks, freeze some more. Then add to the machine. If you're using a plastic bag, make sure it's a freezer bag and it's cold also. It took us multiple times to get it right. The Jolly Rancher lemon and peach are the best.

Jolly Ranchers are different than most hard candies. There is something in them that makes them really hard to bite and let them stay in your mouth for like, ten minutes. You should definitely try this with a normal, crunchable hard candy like Life Savers. I'm sure crushing them up better would help, too.

Okay a jolly rancher is a "hard candy" but pretty sure that's not the candy type they ment. More like the suger on a stick for Irish coffee type. 😂

When you do the cotton candy try to give it a dip and swirl before you go on the top and twist. I think that is supposed to get it started better. Awesome video! I have always wanted a cotton candy machine. When I was a child I had a I believe it was called "30-second cotton candy maker" could be wrong on the name though. I loved that thing! Looking back on it it really didn't work that well 🍬 😂 ❤️

I've got one of these, don't use Jolly Ranchers. They have a different consistency with their sugar that forms something sticky. Use something like the cinnamon hard candy, Butterscotch, or Peppermints. They have better use. Classic Warheads works too. If the candy is normally a sort of sticky candy in your mouth like Jolly Rancher, don't ever use it.

Try pulverizing the hard candy into a fine powder. Almost any good electric chopper should do the trick. It may still be a bad result but having the same basic texture as the cotton candy mix should in theory give better results.
