How
Cotton Candy is made?
Cotton candy
is simple to make if you have the right equipment. To make
cotton candy you need:
- Sugar
(coloring and flavoring can be mixed with the sugar)
- Heat to
melt the sugar into a liquid state
- A Spinning
Head which uses centrifugal force to force the sugar to the
screen
- A Screen
with very small holes which the liquefied sugar is forced
through to form the feathery threads
- A bowl or
pan to catch the feathery threads.
The sugar is
poured into the spinning head which contains heaters located
near the screen. As the head spins, it forces the sugar into
the heater which melts the sugar into a liquid state. The
liquid sugar passes through the small holes in the screen and
as soon as it touches the surrounding air, it solidifies into
feathery threads which are collected in the pan. A paper stick
is used to gather the threads onto a manageable cone by
rotating it around the spinning head.
