Cotton Candy Machine
Most childhood are the memories that reach up to grab huge, swirling pink clouds of cotton candy at the circus or an amusement park. It brings hot summer days, crunchy candy you can only eat with their hands and, of course, pink sticky faces and clothes.
Cotton candy too is known by such charming names as spun sugar or fairy thread. Already as of 1400, European chefs spinning extravagant desserts sugar. While little hands reaching for that sweet probably wore gold rings and mom and dad warned the children about how their robes and crowns sticky. The threads of sugar were thicker and more like blown glass that sugar cotton yarn today. The candy could be formed on gold sites, eggs, birds' nests, castles and other fanciful creations.
Until the 1800s, spinning sugar was a difficult and a little dangerous. Sugarloaf cane or beet was used because the granulated sugar was not invented until after the First World War. Sugar, water and other secret ingredients are boiled in large pots until to reach the correct temperature and consistency. The chefs recommend using only the best cane sugar 'lest failure should occur and use copper pots for best results. When the molten concoction was ready, the confectioner had a moment to throw a dollop of the cup with a fork or a whisk and then pull the hot mixture through the air. The lines of rapid action to cool and solidify in the air. The cook had to be careful of burns and warning recipes early to use plenty of oil on the skin to keep the blistering hot liquid from sticking.
This was good old American ingenuity to super charge spin sugar in the soft, wispy cotton candy we know today. sugar and the dye is heated in a small bowl, spinning, located in the middle of a large metal drum. The spinner has tiny holes which send the liquid sugar mass flight. Once the strings are in contact with air, become and forms solid tracks on the sides of the bowl.
Several American inventors are credited with the kitchen to the first modern cotton candy machines. The first patent was given to John C. Wharton and William Morris for their cotton candy machine in 1897. The two partners debuted their fairy floss' at the World Fair St. Louis in 1904 where he became a success. Another American, Thomas Patton patented a little different cotton candy machine, a year later and partnered with the Ringling Bros. Circus in the sticky confection is still served today.
Sugar has improved since the colonial era as well. Specialty sugars are designed to create more chapters, giving the candy fluffy texture. The hot candy is usually swirled in a cardboard tube or stick. In the 1970s the new machines were invented to produce cotton candy on a large scale. These machines produce a continuous mass of cotton over sugar that is then cut into rectangles. Today you can find in the shops in plastic bags.
In 'the cotton trade sugar "is simply known as" dental floss. "machine operators will tell you that art is a gather and form a hot product right. The color popular cotton candy is pink, followed by blue. Other colors like yellow, purple and green are also sometimes seen. Almost all cotton candy was added food coloring. without color would be white or tan. Purists like to eat their cotton candy plain, but can also be flavored. flavors gum and ice cream are popular.
Adventurous cooks, indulgent parents and cotton candy addicts can now make their own creations soft house. Small machines (which resemble toys more than a cooking tool) can be found for under $ 100. Bigger, more reliable machines can cost up to $ 1,000, but still will add its own circus.
