Could this be used in place of the syrups for snow cones?

It is thick coming out so I don't think so. It makes EXCELLENT smoothies :) and great when you mix it with lemonade.

It is not like a syrup it is more like a purée (something you would add to a smoothie.) it is thick and has actual fruit pieces in it. Personally I would not put it on a snow cone.

The surface has a design, but if you want a real waffle texture this is not the tool. You can make a very nice cone for ice cream. The first recipe in the booklet would be good for an ice cream cone.Crepes would probably depend on finding the right recipe. I haven't tried and wanted a recipe that gave me a crispy cookie after cooling.Good ideas for making the krumkake maker a multi-tasker.

I'm not sure. I don't recall. You let the ice sit on your counter 5 minutes until its clear. Pour it in the top. Then put the lid back on until if clicks and it will grind. When all ice is ground turn back off. Put ice in snow cones and pour snow cone syrup over the top

It's just a thick syrupy flavoring so I suppose you could. I'd test it out on a small amount. Can't help thinking there are better ways to flavor a smoothie than these.

J. Joensuu, Yes, you can use regular ice BUT and this is a big BUT remember you will be pressing down on the lid. To get the kind of shaved ice that is typical for snow cones I still think the best bet is to use the molds provided.If you are using ice cubes I would make sure that the ice cubes are all level so that the lid doesn't come down at an angle which could put stress on the blades. Also the ice will probably not be as uniform as ice created with the molds. Hope this helps! -Mark

I wouldn't. Better to add flavored syrups to the finished product. Also avoid overly oily beans as they don't flow neatly through the mechanism.

Yes, if used as a sugar substitute. Extra bonus -- Yacon Syrup is a prebiotic.

I use it for my BBQ rub...I guess you would have to create a thick simple syrup and then add the maple powder to taste. I have no clue excep to say that a tablespoon or two should make a Qt of flavored syrup?

It depends on the granule size of the sugar and the size of the cones you want. We found that about 1/2 of the scoop is wasted with regular sugar. If you use your own cane sugar with flossine flavoring, you will need two scoops of the mixture to get a decent sized cone. Doing that, you can do about 30 +/- cones per hour.

You probably could, but I don't think it would be an optimal use. It's a terrific ice cream scoop, though!

I think you could without any trouble. The bait is in an upside down cup, you just pull the cup off and you could put the bait in. The bait isn't a the liquid, it is like maple syrup, so it won't spill easily in the first case.

Don't see why not. One adds whatever they want to the mixing jar and the machine shaves ice into it and then mixes the concoction throughout the process. Would imagine that you could add a slushy mix before the ice or simply drizzle it on the ice after shaving as it is a reel fine shaved ice that would be perfect for icee's etc.

Yes this should work if you use a simple syrup (half sugar half water)and brush a little on the top.

We only use hard candy instead of sugar. However, one must not overload the machine. Think of it as squeezing oranges for orange juice. You can only get a little at a time, but patience pays off. My advice would be to make small batches and slowly load the cone as the spun sugar accumulates. Also, make sure the machine is good and warmed up initially.

We freeze our ice in to-go containers, like you would get soup in from Chinese takeout. Using these "blocks" makes the snow cones more like shaved ice. The only down side we have found is ice buildup behind the cutters because it is very fine and can get packed in there.

Yes, absolutely. The salt helps lower the temperature of the ice so that it will actually freeze the milk, sugar and other ingredients. I guess you could potentially use dry ice which is much colder, but I expect that would cause issues with the wood, and possibly other things.

have not tried them but they may be to long. I used snow cones cups but you would have to make the rack sit higher if they are to long.I would tape some styrofom to the legs. Just and idea it really looks cute when you have cups or cones filled with treats.
