      My Virgin Kitchen hah okay. Time zones fascinate me. Have you ever watched anyone make cotton candy...... it's not that hard......... you are supposed to go around the bowl by the clear edge... not in the middle. Love your videos though. 😁💜 hope you have a great day. Gonna try to go to sleep now.

    Barry, this is dangerous, you need supervision. Next time you do something like this get someone responsible to assist, like Phoebe or Chloe.

    Fyi: turn it on for 1 minute to pre-heat. Turn off to add sugar, turn back on to make floss. Spinning the stick improves the collection.

    I've always wondered how candy floss is made, now I can do it myself! I was worried this gadget would've been £100, I was pleasantly surprised, candy floss here I come!

  • @theolderwomansviewagematte2218
    @theolderwomansviewagematte2218 2 года назад

    I recently got one of these gadgets. Heat the candyfloss maker then switch off, add the sugar and don't touch the spinning centre. Dried rose petals and caster sugar ground together is a great flavour. You can add colouring but the sugar must then be dried out thoroughly. A pestle and mortar will grind the sugar finely. I bought a pack of polo mints, ground them finely and made candyfloss out of them, WOW! It's fab. Any boiled sweets ground down will do it as long as there's no liquid filling. If it's mostly sugar, grind it and candyfloss it. Have fun

    We bought one with the intention of making cotton candy for the kids' birthday parties. It's possible, but you have to do a LOT of work the day before to make enough. And the floss has to be sealed in plastic bags & kept in a cool dry place.

    • @mrbarrylewis

      @frankiesmom3019 7 лет назад

      My Virgin Kitchen I’ve gotten it at the Fryeburg fair, which happens the first week of October, but I’m sure you can also find it during Maine maple Sunday. That’s when the sugar houses open up and you can watch how maple syrup is made and try loads of other maple products! But I’ve also seen a small container at Whole Foods for $2

    • @Smithlord
      @Smithlord 7 лет назад +4

      TartanFerret I hadn't thought about doing that! Would Worther's Originals work because that could be crazy tasty or would they be too tacky and soft. You can get those boiled sweets that taste like different cocktails though... BARRY! IDEAS!!!

    • @TartanFerret
      @TartanFerret 7 лет назад

      Oooh Werthers candy floss.... there's only one way to find out eh?

    • @Kujo1597
      @Kujo1597 7 лет назад +2

      I don't see why not, Werther's Originals are hard candy, right(clarifying because I'm Canadian, we have them, but it may be a US Smarties VS UK/CAN Smarties situation) Anyway, all the machine does is melt down the sugar until it's fine enough to fit through teeny-tiny holes and then the spinning basically sprays it everywhere. But then again, depending on the melting point you may end up burning the sugar before it sprays out. That being said, if it does work then yeah, it'll be delicious.

    • @MandrakeFernflower

    • @CeeQuin
      @CeeQuin 6 лет назад

      I have one like this. You can use hard candies, but be aware of the corn syrup content in the candy. I buy flavored candycane sticks and mix one with roughly 1/4 cup sugar. When I tried it with straight crushed candy the floss didn’t stay in the bowl and began shooting into the air and floating away. It was a terrible mess. Also, I would advise against using any sour candies, they taste terrible as candyfloss.

    @BH-rx3ue 7 лет назад

    I've got a little candy floss maker and i have used standard sugar with it which is fine other than the time that for some reason (i think i overloaded it) it decided to semi-explode out of the top of the spinning plate and so a line of semi-molten sugar went right across me. its always fun to have molten sugar bits stick to you on your chest/arms. wasnt painful at all other than the bad burning sensation

  • @TehSlan

    The cones may help with stability... Also, when making rock candy, they say to coat the skewer in sugar so the other sugars can latch onto it when the rocks are forming. Maybe you have to do a similar thing with cotton candy? If so, let me know. I'm trying to do a fundraiser with the stuff one day.
