Be safe, Have fun, and enjoy your treats!! - Zábava
The way you measured the water and sugar was absolutely fabulous.
Well thank you :)
Yasss so bootyful
Damndest thing I ever saw🤣
I've never seen someone aggressively measure out a cup of water before until now. Lol
+Biz_Markie91 Sometimes you need to show that pesky water who's boss!
+TrollFaceTheMan lol 😂
LOL SO FUNNY
XD
His candy is made with indifference, not love, LOL
Life saver. I failed at this twice because I under cooked the sugar. I was waiting 2 weeks so crystals to grow. This ensures my kid can get her science experiment done on time. Thank you.
No problem I am glad to hear and it makes me happy to know these videos get good use especially when it comes to school projects. Thanks for dropping a comment and letting me know! :)
I just had to leave a review after making this last night before I went to bed....I used a .50 walmart cup, bamboo stick and clothes pin/clip. I woke up and came to the kitchen to check it out and OMG, it's the biggest rock candy i've ever seen! AMAzing! thank you!!! This works!!!
Awesome, glad it worked so well! Thanks for leaving comment sharing :)
If you rotate this string or stick on which you want to crystalize - back and forth, it will make crystals faster and bigger. Reason is that during crystal process, "depleted"water sitting near the crystal, and tend to dissolve it back. By rotating, you moving your crystals through new saturated area, while depleted water (under-saturated) tends to go away.
WildMania That makes sense, a good tip. Thank you.
Thanks
Just pulling it up and down? or rotating the actual stick clockwise?
He told us all of that but didn’t tell us this 🙄🤣🤣
This is really easy to screw up. I'm really good at screwing things up. This is just a bad idea for me. I should try it.
+Natalie Gardner YEs it is pretty finicky, but good luck!
How did it go?
Its been 4 years, I think its ready Natalie
Me more
COUGH COUCH
I like how I came here for the candy and ended up staying for the short chemistry lesson XD
Well hopefully it was enjoyable :)
Hannah M. He is just explaining relax🙄
Illiana Delaluz h
I would be perfectly fine with having a block of sugar
Mr. CZcamsr The 60th lmao sameeeeee
So would I! lol
Can't wait until next weekend when my granddaughter comes over she will love ❤️ it plus I really like how you explained the science behind the growth she is ten and loves science.
dye it blue and sell it on the street
600$ made
+FireGaming 1.8 $600
Roll Land Oh loving that crystal blue.
Roll Land Oh Lol!!! 😂😂😂😂
Roll Land Oh 🤦🏼♂️
"Not bad at all for the growth for four hours" dude thats way better than mine and I thought mine was perfect after 2 weeks
+Bottle flipper yours probably had a really nice Crystal structure though. Slower growth tends to produce a sharper product :)
😄😄😄
Just what we needed to answer those questions about how and why of rock candy. Thanks much for taking the time to share this process in so much detail.
+Kelly Ball No problem, thank you for watching and commenting!
This worked great for my daughter's last minute science project she came in second place we did four different colors the school loved it! Thanks so much for this video😁
Pam Bam, no problem glad it was helpful. And congratulations to both of you.
Thank you!🏆😁
Pam Bam :)
my daughter and i made these and they turned out great! thanks!
+Joe Estes No problem, glad you enjoyed it!
Joe Estes was it good?
Me and my daughter tried it and we made a sugar brick
Wow, so well explained and demonstrated, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you 😊
Well thank you very much!
You explained everything perfectly. Thanks and I'm trying this out soon
I needed to find a better way to make sugar clusters for a geode cake. This is exactly what I was looking for and will be trying it out tonight. And thank you for the explanation as well! So much easier to do when you understand why something is happening!
I came here for the same thing. How did it go?
How did it turn out?
Did it turn out well?
@@TrollFaceTheMan I'm sure there was some user error but it didn't work as well as I had hoped. I definitely got some crystals but I still had a lot of slush.
@@AnikaAlexandra sorry it didn't work as expected
I will definitely try this soo. Thank you for showing and explaining this so thoroughly.
Welcome :]
So recipe is:
4 cups sugar
1 cup water
Canning jar
Candy thermometer
String and bridge
Boil to 230F stirring constantly
Cool to 220F then add whatever flavorings or colors
Pore in jar and attach the string and bridge
Wait 4+ hours depending on size?
What would happen if I place the jar outside in the cold? Will it crystallize faster?
Oh right, the temperatures are 110 down to 104 for countries that weren't first on the moon.
You need to put it in a warm place for the heat to evaporate de water faster
JHstyle Won how big is the cup?
OH MY GOD THANK U SO MUCH
Henri Saarmas US measurements. So about 236.5 ml.
Henri Saarmas about 14 cubic inches
I’m sure this “scientific Recipe” is very helpful and useful but I cant help being distracted by his buttery smooth voice 🙂 am I the only one 😂
Thanks XD
Gracefully measures our sugar and water...love it!
:)
Love your teaching style thank you
Audrey shearer Np, thank you very much for taking the time to comment.
Very descriptive and Informative . Thank you this gave me inspiration to actually do it. And I like the science lesson too.
ReelDealinsiDr, glad you liked it.
TrollFaceTheMan Yeah man this was great. 👍
:)
It’s so interesting!!!! I am obsessed with this rock candy. 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Thanks
Awesome!! Thanks. I am teaching about growing crystal to a bunch of homeschooling and this will be a nice example and treat afterward. Thank you!!!
Glad you like it, and good luck! Remember it's always a good idea to test first to get the methodology right :]
Thank you so much! So many recipes just say to put as much sugar in boiling water as you can, but I've been wondering what candy stage makes the most optimal crystal growth. With this, I saw the sugar crystals I sprinkled in bonding together into little sugar threads within less than 20 minutes.
You could pour the excess syrup into a sprayed ice cube tray to create sugar cubes.
For, whatever reason you would want them, like add a stick and make suckers.
Always wanted to give making candy a try. Absolutely must do this someday.
My concern wxactly what do do with any left overs. NO waste NO Want! thanks for the FYI
Deborah Durham
If you would use an ice cube tray to save the extras, I thought of an important tip since my original comment. Make sure the sugar is decently cooled down (basically, the point where it can't cause blisters if touched), else it might negatively affect the plastic. It becomes almost tar or syrup like at that point, but can be pushed into a form (like an ice cube tray) with little effort, just like hot glue or thick dough. Gently greasing the tray with a tiny hint of oil may help in releasing them from the mold.
Now i want Some of that candy. >.< Awesome Job, Gonna try to make it :D
This was amazing! I love the science-y explanation too. :D
My only question is if you can melt the excess syrup and use it again?
KarascioM Indeed you can so long as you heat it to the same temp, you should be able to grow new ones without a problem. Though you might have to add more water initially to get the sugar to redissolve.
I'm so doing it right now.
Thank you very much for this video, I understood most of it (English isn't my mother tongue) and I'm certainly going to rewatch it to understand everything properly.
The only problem is that I don't think I have a candy thermometer :"/
Guess I'll have to ask the mighty Amazon.
Thanks for putting this on Instructables!
+William Cormens No problem, thank you very much for watching!
@@TrollFaceTheMan i have no candy thermometer, what should I do ?
I truly thank you trolfaceman because this saved me from my project due the next day
No problem, heard that one a few times so far XD
I'm using it for my Science Fair Project.
+Random Stranger Good luck
Thanks!
+Christine is Gaming Awkward...
OMG same right now due TOMMOROW !!!
Perfect! I’m trying to learn some new candies to make for Easter this year. I’m going to try this. Thank you for teaching me something new! I make cooking videos too! It’s a pleasure to learn from other talented creators like you! I hope we can learn more from each other! Have a great weekend!
That's why I'm here, too!
Have luck with it?
So you basically do exactly what candy makers avoid like the plague lol. This never dawned on me to try. Thanks!
What is that?
@@TrollFaceTheMan i assume not letting the sugar syrup crystalize
Amazing thank you. You have a very pleasant voice.
Hello thank you very much for the great video
I tried it yesterday but I only used 3 and a half cups of sugar ( I was afraid I would't control the freezing process if I use alot of sugar )
after 4 hours I got nothing on my stick, I was like yeah it probably didnt work.. but today when I woke up, a beautiful rock candy was formed I'm so proud , I'll do it again using different colours
Cool, I am glad it eventually worked :)
Impressive video. I know a lot of homeschooling moms who will find this useful. I was laughing a bit though, wasn't expecting the nerd's version of how to make rock candy but it's very cool you took time to do all the work.
3 Days time actually XD
Anyways, thank you very much I am glad you liked it :)
Thx man u help me get a project done fast
No problem, glad it was useful!
OMG best recipe ever it actually works
Deya Buckles That's what I like to hear!! Thanks for trying it out, and leaving feedback!! :)
Bro threw that sugar and water like it was nothing 😂😂😂
thanks for the project! Amazing job
Glad you liked it, thanks.
Is there a substitute for a thermometer? I don't have one avaliable currently.
That is awesome we are going to try this and will let you know how it went. Thanks again.
+Pamela Phillips I hope it goes well!
SUPER helpful for my science project
It was beautiful I loved it possibilities endless.
+Lorraine Dettbarn Thanks
Can you use a stick instead of a string to make the crystals grow on for this method?
I think so...idk but I want to know.
+JJGamerUnicorn Xox Yes you can, sorry I never saw the comment.
Can I use a piece of rebar instead of a stick or string? My cousin has really strong teeth
Hello This is nice I just need to know how many sugar with one cup water and at what temperature was the sugar Reddy and will Thier be a way to take the sugar crystals off the string ? I was thinking of making smaller sugar treats ?
I made the 6 weeks crystals recipe (first week now). Will try these one! Thanks!
Please let me know how it turna out :)
I'm noticing the crystal sizes are tiny. I use a 1 to 4 ratio, and use evaporation. I get larger crystals but it takes quite some time to grow.
do i have to let it cool down before i put it in the jar or do i put it while its hot?
Hi. Thanks for great info. What you do with left over syrup. Thanks in advance
karim merchant You can redissolve it with new water and new heat to reuse it to grow more crystals.
Okay, QUESTION TIME! Can you take remaining syrup and re-use for another batch? Also, if you had a much taller glass (heat proof) jar, could you make a much longer string of it?
So cool! Just watched during science here in homeschooling! Thank you friend. 🛡
:]
I have one question, mine mixture was watery and not caramelized? Will it work?
maybe I missed it but what temp do you cook solution too before cooling?
He did. 110°C/230F
AWESOME HOW WE CAN SEE IT GROW
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this demo! I have read the slower it cools the bigger the crystals will be?! Can you do a video and show this process, would you use a heating pad? Or oven? I'm really interested in what other ways this can be done. Can you cool it fast in the fridge and get better results? There's not one video I haven't seen on rock candy and I keep coming back to yours! Thanks so much!!!! I would love to see more videos on this and other ways to grow this!!!! Your awesome!!!
+Jennifer Holland Thanks I am glad you like it, and yes it is true the slower it cools the bigger are more defined the crystals will be.
Cooling it slower will give you larger crystals because it slowly builds off the existing crystals instead of branching off into many tiny crystals like in this video. I have a sugar solution that had been in the fridge for half a year and it has large blocky crystals.
cool. how do you eat it of its on a string?
is it sticky after a few hours or dry and can it be used to decorate a cake??
How long will they keep? How do I store them ?
Also
I want fairly decent sized crystals as I want to make a geode cake. How do I achieve this?
A) forever in an airtight container
B) leave it longer
This is very cool. You seem to know the science very well
Thank you :)
This music is magical with headphones omg
this was great for a last day since fair project ty!!!!!
You're welcome :)
The crystal is really big especially for 4 hours I whould put it in a bhcket it would get huge or in a swimming pool that hasn't been use and sell them for 1 thousand dollars
Now, THAT, I would bye!😜 lol
bi
Good plan
It doesnt form in hours it takes weeks duhh
@@MiMiTheMemer buy*
Great video~ we are going to make it today.
Life saver cause I had this for my project 😄
Youre driving me crazy with this thernometer.
Thanks. I tried making and I most likely over heated it NOT a success I later added water to the hard stuff and used in my coffee as it resolved I don't know how it would stick to rubber ice cube trays but wouldn't it be ok to also cool in a Dixie cup then turn upside down to thaw a bit and pop out to go in baked beans or ice tea? Again thanks
Umm depends silicon trays would have no issue but certain rubbers or plastics could melt or lose their shape at these temps. Also are you talking about plastic or wax coated paper dixie cups?
I'm years late, but I like how he says thernometer and NO ONE pointed it out
Just a question can I reuse the syrup
How high do you make the temperature go??
I was trying to help my son but it started to crystallize on the side of the quart jar before it was even an hour yet. what do you think went wrong?
+5Smarties It's possible that Crystals might of formed on the side of the pot you were making the solution in. Those crystals then could of fallen into said solution and triggered it to start Crystallizing prematurely.
That would be my guess.
only for responsible people...whelp, that leaves me out. I'm so doing this. lol
Me 2
Me 2
What would happen if I put the syrup solution on a baking sheet instead? Low long should it take to cool to become solid so I can peel it (carefully ) into a large rectangular sheet of sugar?
You would want to cook it till the hardball stage. That is pretty much how they make sugar glass or hard candies :)
Omg thank you last I under cooked the sugar last time and was afraid I wasn't going to make my project on time thanks 👍 :)
Welcome, glad it worked :]
I know I’m late but my string keeps going over to the side of the cup. Will this affect growth and if so how do I fix this
thanks for this video! im trying to make this currently just for fun and this was really helpful
Glad it was :)
Great job
Thank you!
Is it a 250g cup or 220g cup? I would like to try this
Could you make more candy with the left over syrup? Would you drop a new string in or would you have to reheat the solution back to 230? Great video thanks. My daughter wants a geo cake for her birthday. So that's where the rock candy comes in.
Sherry Wortman, yep most definitely. But you'll have to add water a remelt it and cook it to the proper temp.
How long can I let this sit before it becomes completely solid?
What do you do with the access solution. Can you reuse it to make another candy?
Yes you can. Might need to add more wqter and recook though.
Can you remelt the leftover syrup and grow more crystals? If so, should you add more sugar or water to get back to the same ratio?
Yep, add more water then recook.
It looks yummmmmmmmmmmy
Rana Rafat If you like rock candy it is.
I like the addition of the vanilla flavoring and was just wondering if you could use lemon juice? I am a lemon fanatic and would love to make lemon candy.
Yes you can but as a fore warning adding too much can stop the Sugar from crystallizing. My personal theory for this is a because the acid in the lemon juice causes the Sucrose the sugar is made up of to instead 'Invert' and break down into Fructose and Glucose which doesn't like to crystallize. Especially when mixed with one another.
I ate lemon when I was 2 years old I still eat lemons and I just suck on toxic waste they r not sour for meh
I know I’m late but, for lemon you could try lemon extract or candy flavoring.
who are you and... even more important... can you read for me please??
Im having a hard time getting to sleep and your voice is soooo soothing!
(the music ruined it a little, but otherwise... perfect to listen to)
+Steph Anie Thanks, and yes I apologize for the background music being a tad loud. It's something I realized in some of my newer vids and corrected.
Hopefully you got to sleep but you might check out ASMR type videos, people do it live on twitch and I'm sure you could find some here, I'm not really sure how to explain it other than "noises" but I'm sure you could find people just talking/reading.
hi there! i love this video and i have a question. will this work if i pour some of the sugar solution into a round mold and grow the crystals there so that it looks like a geode cracked open? thanks in advance!
Aisha Khan, in theory yes. You'll want seed crystals aroun the edges though.
so you have to put the syrup in the growth container while its still hot or no? just wondering cause if I let it cool my cup wont break
You can let it cool a bit, but wait too long and it'll start forming crystals in your pot and you'll lose the opportunity to grow them as fast. (Most growing occurs in the first 30 minutes.)
TrollFaceTheMan You should be a science teacher kids would love you Haha GOD bless ❤️😄
Questions.....can you remelt left over product. And once your treats are made can you freeze them for later....like months in advance.....for instance...i wanna make for a birthday party but i dont wanna make 2 to 3 weeks ahead of time and try to time them so there ready for a party. Also can multiple treats be made in one container. ....thanks
Yes to all, the Left overs can be remelted with some additional water. And these will stay indefinitely without refrigeration needed. So long as they are kept dry and out of a humid environments.
Best way to achieve this is to seal them in a bag with food grade desiccant packs. Lastly yes multiples can be made at once, although they may grow at different rates.
Nice narration style. Very relaxed.
+Ryan Jensen Well thank you very much, I am glad you enjoyed it :)
+TrollFaceTheMan good video, but I thought it would be a troll at first because of our name.
Reasonable assumption :)
This is helpful!! Only mine clumped up along the sides and got hard right away only on the sides and was really wet and sloppy in the middle and sort of formed a geode. It wasnt the right shade of green after drying which is from the sugar being white. But the result was too soft or too hard? Idk. It's not shiney and very dull.
Did you ever figure it out?
Can we use again the remaining syrop
?
How long is too long to have it sitting? If we had it sit overnight?
Thanks for the lesson👩🍳🇵🇱🇺🇸
What temperature was the suger when u said it was syrup stage?
At least your spoon has a covering, (not bare metal), so I'm sure helped with heat?
Might I suggest you or anyone dealing with sugar syrup in any candy making?
USE WOOD OR BAMBOO SPOONS 😱
Great video. Thanks!💜
When do we put the seed crystal into supersaturated sugar? Will it work if i put it when it is little warm?
I don't understand the question.
OMG this is amazing💕😍
Kaira Abrahams Glad you like it.
TrollFaceTheMan thank you so much
Great video thank you
This is really easy thanku so much for sharing
Glad you found it useful.
