Sweet cotton: a bit of history and not only...

Sweet cotton wool is a dish that everyone knows. Any child and, even, what to dissemble, an adult, wants at least once a try such a treat. Of course! After all, cotton wool made from sugar not only sounds tempting, but looks very interesting. And how do you think, when the "born into the world" this sugar delicious? Do not know?! Then we will answer you. Even in the distant XIV century in Italy, this refined delicacy appeared. But only rich people could taste it. In those days, the technology of producing sweet cotton wool required a high level of skill. Only the best confectioners could cook this dessert. And the cost was not cheap ...

Starting from the 18th century the chefs began to come up with various ornaments made of cotton candy. Popular was the preparation of sweet cotton wool in the form of an Easter egg, into which were added golden threads of caramel. And how many nicknames were given this culinary masterpiece! In Italy, cotton candy was called "sugar yarn", in France - "grandfather's beard", in England - "magic sweet thread", in Germany - "sugar wool", and in America - "cotton sweets." As you can see, the nicknames of such a dessert is more than enough.
At the end of the nineteenth century, or rather, in 1897, John Warton in a duet with William Morrison created the first apparatus for the preparation of sweet wool. The principle of his work was quite simple: melted sugar poured out through a sieve onto a cold rotating drum made of metal. So sweet threads were obtained, which quickly collected in a ball. It should be noted that modern machines for cooking cotton candy are also working on a similar principle. That's how the world first saw this important invention. Since then, sweet cotton wool has become more affordable.

To make this popular dessert you will need special equipment. And believe me, its range is very diverse. Usually, devices for the preparation of cotton candy are divided into the following types:

From the name it is immediately clear what is the difference between such units: desktop models of this equipment should be placed on some surface, for example, a table, but floor-standing ones on the floor. Usually floor installations are more powerful. They can exist as a full-fledged point of trade in sweet cotton wool. As a rule, these devices are equipped with wheels, which makes it easy to move them and transport them.

The main difference between these units is the type of energy consumption. In gas equipment, the head of the device heats the gas, and the engine runs on the battery. Electric cars for sweet cotton wool work from electricians. They are more suitable for indoor use, not outdoors. It should be noted that gas models can work in wet weather, which allows them to be used in parks, squares and other outdoor areas.

Mini-units for sweet cotton wool can not boast of high performance. They are not suitable for the production of this dessert for commercial purposes. If you want to sell such sweetness - then buy a powerful and large device.

As practice shows and consumer feedback, the most reliable and functional equipment can be considered equipment for the preparation of sweet wool from American manufacturers. Ukrainian and Chinese devices are cheaper, but they are a bit inferior in quality.

At this point, everything is very simple and understandable. Expensive aggregates for cooking cotton candy have many functionalities (basic and additional). They have high technical characteristics. Such equipment is ideal for opening a point of sale of sweet wool. But, if you do not want to bother - give preference to cheaper models. Of course, the functions are not enough for them, but with the preparation of a delicious dessert, these machines cope with hurray!
