Ok - turn on the unit, let it spin for a couple of minutes. Then turn the dial to 180 and give it about 3 minutes (it's about a 5 min warm-up/start up.) Leave it at 180. (I have no idea why he keeps playing with the dial!) Once it's warm add the sugar, the first portion or two might take a minute to come out, but after that the portions should fly out. But use the scoop, don't over-fill the top as he did. Hope that helps. :)
My dad was a rep for a major food company. I was sold into slavery to help him with his many company sponsored "carnivals". Cotton candy was one of many fun foods I learned to prepare. A few things I saw here deserve comment. We would run the motor, switch on the heat, and apply a spoonful of sugar mix. When it was coming up to temp, the mix would start coming out. At this point, wipe the inside of the bowl with a damp paper towel. This will make the candy stick to the bowl, instead of flying around. The dampness and timing require some practice. Add the mix to the full mark. Let the candy build up. We would get a full serving, on a paper cone, with one lap around the bowl. Hold the cone vertically, get less on your hand. Do it outside. You will get covered in cotton candy, no way around it. Good luck.
@@nasirmondal786 Companies sell flavor/color compounds. Mix the flavor with plain white sugar to the recomended ratio. These companies sell popcorn, cotton candy, kettle corn equipment. Tools, bags, papercones, candy apple and corndog sticks. You name, they got it. look them up.
I think people misunderstand how important it is to be honest in these videos. Its helpful to know how and where you can mess up doing stuff. Thanks for the honesty.
TuxedoElf...we just recieved our unit and how he operates it just DOESNT work..im worried we got ripped off. Can you let me know how you found the best way to operate it ????
Ben Winter This video was made back in 2012. If I could Reboot this video like a movie and make a new one, I would. I would've spun the candy so good around the sides, that you would have already melted from how much cotton candy that can produced from one stick. Unfortunately, we no longer carry this machine or the guy in this video. Sad, but that is how reboots most likely go.
No. As you use the machine you will get a build up of sugar on the sides. This can get into your floss and make it gritty and course. Wear gloves and use your hands to shape.
Hi, can you tell me when you put the sugar in, do you put the sugar in when the machine is cold, or do you heat up the machine first? Once you have made your cotton candy do you not get any sugar residue on the head of the machine and does it not caramalise in the head and if so how do you clean this, this is an issue I have been having!
Why isn't the floss coming out through the sides and collecting in the bowl. I never seen cotton candy floss coming out through the top but if that's the case why need a bowl?
Wow man you have over a MILLION views on this. Strong work and thanks for posting it. I think I will get one of those. And screw all the low life haters posting negative comments. I’m sure they don’t have a fraction of the views you have combined. We all know what you mean.
if you are selling this you must know that a plastic netting around the inside of that bowl is very important as it catches the strings from whipping out of the side of this machine as I saw on many other demos
this is a completely different machine than the one your thinking of bruh. These type of machines are literally designed for the cotton candy to shoot upwards so you can catch it directly on the stick & make flower shapes etc ( just lookup cotton candy art on youtube)
Your machine is missing a piece. There is a mesh belt that clamps inside the tub and it helps to catch the floss. This keeps it from flying out of the machine.
Sassy Cat- This is not that type of machine. This is a machine that the sugar floats upwards and not spins against the sides of the bowl. I have both and this type of unit id the best because you can change flavors after each cone! The ones with the big bowls take time yo use all the sugar and you can't switch up easily without blending sugars. I have several machines and I like this type the best.
Amy Kong you can buy those from Amazon. I purchased mine from eBay. I really love these machines because you can use back to back flavors and you don't have to waste a bunch of sugar. Amazon has them. The Vortex is one. Vortex cotton candy machine.
TuxedoElf below has it right. Use the scoop after it is warmed up. One scoop makes about one good sized serving. Then just add one scoop at a time as needed. always be ready with a new cone to prevent the floss form floating away. If your machine is wired to 220 volts, the meter will go to 180 but if you have a 110V machine, it will only go to 110. And read the instruction sheet. The translation attempt to English is hilarious. Have fun!
It is actually a very good unit if u use it properly,I have seen many people make great looking vones with this unit even as beginners and two this he definitely messed up on is not letting it heat up BEFORE putting sugar in. And he held his cone too close to the spinner
um I know what the blue and pink taste like but i have never even seen or tasted the green and purple. Can you please tell me what both the green and the purple taste like?? Thanks so much (^_^)
I just bought a similar unit and used it yesterday at a fund raising event for a local charity. 2 problems I encountered was after the first 45 mins, the quality of the candy floss reduced massively. I was using like 2 scoops to make half a small cone! Do the machines need to be cleaned every hour or something? There was a lot of suger in the spinning head and sides? And 2nd what happens if you leave the voltage high? I had mine on 220 volts for like 5 hours straight! Does this mean it would melt more suger faster? Why do you advise we keep the voltage on 90? I'm just curios and asking the question so I can better understand the machine. Thank you in advance Kind regards Anj
I was informed by my seller that you need to clean it or poutmr it with water every after use for the sugar not to hardened inside. It needs to rest for 20 minutes after using it an hour accdg to the manual.
Man I want to buy one of those cotton candy machine where I can make cotton candy for my rest of my life hey how much for a cotton candy machine right now I want to buy one
