Cotton Candy Floss

I am looking for a cheap and decent cotton candy/fairy floss machine in Australia. Are the Sunbeam/Breville ones good? How much do I need to spend to get same quality as I would find at carnivals?
Thanks!

Put "Candy floss Australia" on search and although long winded you can find a supplier.

I have left over floss sugar from when i made cotton candy at a festival. Renting the machine again would be pretty costly so i was wondering if there is a way to make the cotton candy (or anything else with the floss sugar) without the machine?

I couldn't find any recipes or other uses for your left over floss sugar. In my search, I found it for sale and found a scoop that can be used with the machine. Sorry.

No messy mixing or unsanitary sugar buckets
4-pound bottle
Paragon's floss sugar is made from a special sugar that is not too fine, not too coarse

A cotton candy machine was given to me, but it doesn't have a recipe or instructions. Many thanks in advance.

I found this page, it just says put the sugar in and move a stick around. . . you can apprently get premixed colour solutions

How to Make Cotton Candy
Using a damp cloth, moisten the inside of the floss pan. This will cause floss to adhere to the pan.

After following the operating instructions, you are ready to begin making the floss. Pay attention to the direction of the floss as it is spun off the floss head. It should be thrown against and adhere to the side of the floss pan.

Attached to the top plate of the spinner head are two floaters - these give additional air current for floss control. Twisting the leading edge of the floaters down will give more lift and floss will go upward - twisting down, the floss will go down. Practice will give good control.

To pick up floss, once you practice, you can become an expert at rolling the web of candy onto the cone. Pick up the cone, holding it an inch or two at the pointed end between your two fingers and thumb. With a light flicking action, break into the web of floss that is building up in the pan. Usually some floss will stick to the cone, if not, brush the cone over a damp sponge first. Lift up the cone with the ring of floss attached, and, by rotating the cone, wind the floss onto it. Do not roll floss on the cone inside the floss pan, roll it on outside of the pan only.

When you have practiced a bit, you might rather prefer to lift the ring of floss out of the pan with a flick of the wrist, turn the ring into a figure 8 and whip it around onto the cone. This leaves air pockets making it appear that you are building a bigger web.

Sugar for cotton candy fan be any 100% pure cane or beet sugar. Regular granulated us recommended but avoid the Extra Fine Granulated or Bottlers Fine, and the so-called "free flowing" as they main contain cornstarch which will burn and clog the ribbons. Coarser sugars such as coarse, medium coarse, or sanding sugars can be used but will require a little more voltage to the head for best production.

I love Cotton Candy "Fairy Floss" but it is very difficult to find a place where I can get it in Melbourne CBD or close, except from some video stores that not always have them is impossible. I will appreciated a looooot as well as my wife.

Im in Sydney so im useless to you and i love fairy floss, you can make your own these days, you can actually buy the machine for home use all you need is sugar and food colouring
