We were just gifted this for Christmas, thank you so much for this video!! Very thorough and informative.
Thank you!
Thank you so much! Your video was super helpful!! We just bought the Nostalgia Cotton Candy machine for our son.
Glad I could help!
Thank you for making this video! Super helpful!
Great job of explaining how to use this machine. just purchased this same cotton candy machine. going to give as gift for Christmas.. I will definitely have my friend look at your video before they use it. Thank you so much for this video! 😊👍
Glad it was helpful!
My daughter bought one at a second hand store. When I googled it, it looks like they are mainly for sale by people that bought it, probably did it once and sold it.
My granddaughter and I will try it tonight. Glad I found your video to figure it out.
Thank you so much! This was so informative. I really needed this because I got this for Christmas and don’t know how to use it . It was amazing because I got straight to the point. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Glad it helped out and have fun with your new machine!
BEST VIDEO on using my new nostalgia cotton candy machine
Thank you!
I got this a year ago as a Christmas gift. But never got a chance to use it even though it’s really straight forward most videos are 2-8 years old and haven’t helped much or just not straight forward as this I wanted to start using it again on my birthday and then wanted to search a video how to use it then this I found this video thank you so much for showing how to work it!
Yay! So glad it helped you out! Thanks!
This was so helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for this. Just received one today for daughters birthday gift she has wanted one so bad will try it tonight!!
Hope she was surprised!
@@spunparadise8823 she was surprised and we both love it!
Thanks for video. I just bought one for my son's birthday
Have fun!
Thank you so much for this!!
Of course!
thank you exactly what I need to watch
Thank you so much! You explained it super simple, I have my dog's tea party and for the human guests it will be something nice to enjoy a delicious cotton candy. keep it sweet 🤍
Just got one today! I got the sugar separate from purchase I was hoping to use it at my nieces part but I don’t know how many are attending sadly so maybe another time!
This was super helpful!!... Thank you so much!!...
Glad it was helpful!
I'm thinking about getting this for my daycare kids. Since I have all girls, we'll probably call it fairy hair! This would be cool for science. 😁
Oh my gosh! I love it! FAIRY HAIR!! Too cute!!
I just got this for my niece and I, she loved it! it’s also fun to experiment with hard candies.
@@spunparadise8823 We call our meringue drops unicorn poop! They think that’s absolutely hilarious!😂
@@Aaliiiyahh Great! I’m going to order it today. Thanks!
@@janinelew2483 No problem! I realized I made a mistake in my first comment, I’m not sure if it matters since it’s the same brand and they both work with hard candy, but I just wanted to specify that I got the PCM306PK model. I’m pretty sure the only difference is the price and exterior design though
Great video
Thanks!
I got one second hand and it doesn't look like it was ever used or maybe only once. I tried to use it last night and I let it heat up and pour sugar in it and it never produced anything. I tried multiple times rinsing out the spinning part. Do you have any guess on why it's not working?
How much sugar is the little scooper that it comes with?I lost mine.
Help I have event coming up back to back sat/ sun
one is for about 5000 an Sunday about for 25,000 to 30,000
how much floss should I get for those event an cones
Next ill be using the breezy machine
what kind of Generator Do I need for this
How long to let the nostalgia rest after 12 cones?
Just got this machine and the extractor head isn’t spinning! Am I doing something wrong?
Where did you get the sugar
Where did you purchase the stand for the cotton candy?
Thanks, I've been wondering how you take off the head
Glad it was helpful!
I want to get this machine for a birthday party and I want to pre make the cotton candy and put them in little baggies to hand out (about 50 cones)
Would it be okay if I make the cotton candy (maybe 10 cones at a time) then turn it off to let it cool, wash it and then put it back to use again?
It's worth a try. The machine doesn't make more than a few cones at a time and then it needs to be cleaned.
tysm!! I bought and just arrived a few hours ago, Do you recommend this for a online business ?, Ofcourse I wont use it that much to get it rested, But do i need to upgrade?
This machine is too small to use for larger volume for a business. I would recommend a Vivo or Carnival King at the least for a business usage. Thanks!
@@spunparadise8823
I
Ok
Do we warm it up first for 10 - 20 minutes then turn it off? If we do do we let it cool down or?
Warm it up for 10-20 mins and then start pouring sugar in it while it is running.
I bought mine at a yard sale and the clear plastic portion on the top is missing. The company said my model may not have had one. It also did not come with a scoop. Is is a tsp or tbsp? Perhaps you can help with how much should go in this little machine.
A tablespoon should work.
Can you use any candy in the machine or do you have to use the special flavored sugar? Thinking like jolly ranchers or Skittles or something?
Jolly Ranchers work, Skittles will not work. Thanks!
I bought a cute nostalgia one that is on a cart. The cones are much smaller than the ones that you made using the same amount of sugar. Any suggestions?
Hi there, is it the pink machine? If so, yes, it doesn't seem to output the same as the red machine. I assume it is a heat stability difference, but not positive.
I wanna to order it now I was already gonna order it lolz
So fun!
I've got one... And it sounds like it's going to take off when it starts warming up. Yours is really quiet.
Can you use maple sugar and regular cane sugar in this machine to make maple cotton candy?
Yes, here is the video on maple cotton candy ruclips.net/video/RxrZTTLHkfs/видео.html
Cool
Thanks!
i got a nostalgia cotton candy machine for christmas and until about a week ago it worked perfectly. now it barely produces any cotton candy and the sugar just gets all clumped up in the little middle heating part. i've deep cleaned it countless times and nothing seems to work. idk what to do :(
Oh no! Do you know where the machine was purchased from? It sounds like a heating element issue. If you can, I would recommend exchanging it. Do you have the red machine or the pink Nostalgia? That makes a difference as well!
@@spunparadise8823 I have the pink one. What's the difference??
So question do you pre heat without the rim piece?
No, the entire machine is set up when we pre heat.
Where do you get that sugar? I’ve tried several kinds that flop. I’m convinced it’s the sugar. I had one grape flavor that even worked
I’ve tried hard candy crushed. I’ve tried 6 different kinds. All I get is large blobs of hard candy around the edges of the bowl. I’ve let it heat up 25 minutes and still the same results. Please help
Sounds like the machine isn't getting hot enough. I would try to exchange with the company for a new one.
Wow
Is that the 5 lbs bag shown in the video or is that a different size .
Those are the 5lb bags
I have the same as yours only blue, yet it’s hardly producing any cotton candy am I doing something wrong? I have it heat up for 20 minutes
The Nostalgias vary greatly depending on model. Either the heating element isn't getting hot enough, or it needs a cleaning.
Which Nostalgia is best ? The metal bowl or plastic?
I haven't tried the metal bowl. Sorry!
How do you get that middle Extractor Head part out??? My daughters came already on the machine...our 1st time using it😩
Like the just the center top part? Just pull it out, it detaches from the rest of the center.
Same question lol I got it but it doesn't come out for me to clean it, scared
Don’t be scared. It has about an inch long stick like base so just grab the spinner plate by the sides and pull straight up ! Hope this helps 🤗
I tried that. Didn't work. I may have even bent the extractor head slightly. Finally saw it has a nut at the top of the spindle bolt that must be removed first. Grr.
Mine doesnt spin...just got it
I get these really good candies from a company called Hercules Candy Co and want to try them in my Nostalgia machine, but I really don't want to risk messing it up... Can you order some and try making it in your machine and let us know how it goes?
I'm going to try it!! Video coming soon!
@@spunparadise8823 ooooh! Awesome! Looking forward to it!
@@spunparadise8823 any update on how it turned out using the Hercules candy Co hard tack candy?
My middle piece "danger hot" doesn't spin?
I recommend contacting your local environmental health department, all counties/states are different.
Did you say warm up for 20 minutes?
Yep! 10-20 minutes. It needs to be really hot to make the best cotton candy it can
I’m trying to take off the black part that says “danger hot” but it’s not coming off and I’m scared I’m gonna break it
It can be really hard to remove, but it is made to come off.
Mine has a nut at the top of the spindle bolt. I didn't realize this until nearly breaking it trying to follow the steps in this video. :(
how do i clean it
Take the head off of the top and rinse it in water.
How to clean it
Take the little top head off and wash with water.
Do you think that I could use maple sugar in it?
I would watch our maple cotton candy video. You have to dilute the maple sugar with regular sugar. Ratio's can be found in that video. I haven't tried using maple mix in the nostalgia, I imagine it would work fine though.
When I made ours it made so much we rushed to get the other cones lol
In the washing instructions, it says not to let it soak
The head does not come off of mine... What am I doing wrong?
OMG!!!! NVM that's SOOOOO much easier
Yay, glad it worked out!
@@spunparadise8823 yup also I find it's possible to use a scoop and a half before it overloads and starts shooting sugar. Although between the one and a half scoop the machine should be turned on and off for a second to spin the sugar into the edge of the disk to make room for more. That way it's possible to get big cones with one load
someone help me. Where do u get hard candy!!!
The hard candy we use is standard stuff at a local grocery store, Jolly Ranchers, Werther's Caramels, hard candy comes in cinnamon, mint, etc, options are endless. Hope that helps.
@@spunparadise8823 Thank you!!!
If I want to use hard candy, how many pieces of candy?
@@saraiolivares4873 2 at a time someone mentioned that it recommends the candy be crushed instead of whole..
My middle part won’t come out is that normal ? Tried everything anyone else have the same problem
Mine wasn’t at first but try pulling on each side with both hands and pulling up
They can be very stuck sometimes, but it should come off.
It was informative but lame she didn’t try any jolly ranchers or anything
Bruh, I just wanted to be 'that guy with the cotton candy machine' so I can make it as a joke, but thats just too much effort
And you know.... rig it up without the bowl and just spin like a madman, but if it burns....
