Best Cotton Candy Makers

The easiest way to make a cotton candy with traditional taste and flavor is to purchase ready-to-use pre-mixed floss. So-called "floss sugar" is available in a wide variety of flavors and is mainly sold in carton boxes. If you opt for a box weighing 3.25 pounds it will be pretty enough to make 60-70 cones. Every sweet tooth can choose a flavor of the future cotton candy to his/her liking. For instance, Cotton Candy Floss Sugar-Blue Raspberry, Pink Vanilla & Cherry- 3.25 lbs. (3 pack) or Spun Paradise Cotton Candy Sugar Floss Mixed Pack, 5 Flavor with quite unusual tastes of Sea Salt Caramel, Mango, Coconut, Watermelon, and Lilikoi (Passion Fruit) won't leave anyone indifferent. What is important, Spun paradise floss sugar doesn't contain dyes, artificial colors, and artificial flavors thus, it is fully organic. If compared to homemade floss sugar, ready-to-use pre-mixed floss can save you time while ensuring reliable and efficient service throughout the whole process. But if you need to make a large number of cones, a homemade mix will help you save money. To specify, one 1 pound jar of Gold Medal Flossine Vanilla Pink attempered with granulated sugar can yield over 300 pounds of cotton candies. Quite impressive, isn't it?

Thanks to the efforts of Dentist William Morrison and candy maker John C. Wharton, after 7 years of non-recognition, in 1904 the first candy makers were introduced into the market and soon after spread in the masses. At the time they sold successfully about 68,000 boxes of fairy loss, making 25 cents profit per each. Imagine that, what back then was valued at 25 cents is now sold at $7 and more. Even making sketchy calculations, you'll see much money it's possible to save upon purchasing a candy maker for at-home use. Today, as opposed to the early machines, candy makers are much more reliable, designed with a spring base and solid feet to withstand vibrations and frequent use. 

Interestingly enough, the evolution of "fairy floss" to "cotton candy" was initiated by Joseph Lascaux from New Orlean, Louisiana, who presented its own modification of the machine in 1921 and received a patent for it under a different name. A new name gained much more popularity, gradually but steadily displacing "fairy floss" from everyday's use.

• Switch to "On" and collect sugar strands by holding a cone vertically and rotating it with your fingers. When the first cotton strands are collected on the cone, keep on rotating holding a cone in a horizontal position until all sugar strands make up in one big cloud.
