ASMR Making Cranberry Drop Candy (no talking)

[@Enze781]

the vibration of hitting the hook makes the candy firm on the parts touching the hook, effectively making it no longer sticky and easier to lift off

[@HerculesCandyASMR]

correct!

[@johnsonjohnson8557]

she def missed the hook and smacked the candy xD

[@dearmas9068]

Thanks for the info! Didn't know that

[@noturdad5354]

Yes. Amazing, you finally learned how it works so you can tell the other knuckle dragging troglodytes that know nothing but of what they see on KZbin. You’re that one person in class no one likes💀🤡

[@fati_nad]

Longer crank means higher torque. Torque is the force involved in turning something about a pivot. In other words, less effort for the candy maker to turn the roller

[@tombiby5892]

Yes but longer cranking distance which wears you down over a lifetime. Candy makers die early.

[@DetectiveTrupo203]

Torque is rotational force

[@HerculesCandyASMR]

Correct!

Thank you so much!

[@jadefalcon001]

The explainer subtitles were really nice to have. Thanks for including those!

[@sadielouwho5795]

The washing down the sides of the pot to remove sugar is done to prevent the candy from crystalizing and becoming grainy

[@goodfruitseason]

I don’t know if it really happens that much when corn syrup is added maybe it is not to tarnish the copper?

[@caittails]

@@goodfruitseason You still have to wash it down. I’ve had sugar crystallize on me when I had corn syrup in the mix. I don’t usually see people wiping it down first rather than multiple times throughout the boiling process, so I wonder if they just didn’t show that. What I see more of, though, is keeping a lid loosely on the pot so the condensation wipes it down on its own. Idk if that’s actually any better, but it’s what my friend does and she hasn’t had any problems with it that I know of.

[@patrickdix772]

​@goodfruit111 Corn syrup helps reduce it, but can't fully eliminate the risk, if there was enough corn syrup to completely prevent crystallization, the candy also wouldn't harden properly at the end.

[@goodfruitseason]

@@patrickdix772 make sense.

[@HerculesCandyASMR]

You are correct, Sadie!

Just want to say, I’ve watched your guys’ videos for a while now and really respect how smart you guys are in terms of video editing and also understanding the KZbin algorithm.

Somebody has been paying attention in candy class!

[@erikaamerica4546]

Love to watch your expertise in making confections. New subscriber

[@TLRChad]

The shock of the hammer strike causes the crystalline structure of the candy to release from the hook.

[@HerculesCandyASMR]

that's a fancy way of saying it sends vibrations through the hook, loosening the candy haha

[@JB-yb4wn]

It's like working with lava.

[@HerculesCandyASMR]

Hitting the hook with a hammer process is called triboluminescence

Something I've never thought of before but does the table have built in cooling or is it just passively cooled from being a big hunk of metal?

We actually have it hooked up to our sink and run cold water through it to cool it down as needed

@@HerculesCandyASMR ah gotcha that's neat thanks!

Do you oil the cooling table? And how difficult is it to clean the copper kettle completely between batches?

"the desiccant is included in the tare for each bag" lol

[@judyk928]

Crank handle is long to give you more leverage? Oh and so you don't have to turn it as many times?

That's what I was thinking as well.

[@HerculesCandyASMR]

Correct on both accounts!

[@bobbressi5414]

We unfortunately have to throw them out because they very quickly clump together and have turn into a sticky unpleasant mess

[@bdub440]

at 4:10 when the candymakers are adding color (or is it color and flavor?), how much has the corn syrup and sugar mixture cooled? How quickly does the mixture cool?

[@Klaproossje]

Do they save the stuff falling through the grates?

[@HerculesCandyASMR]

Unfortunately not, it all clumps together rather quickly

[@Klaproossje]

@@HerculesCandyASMR thanks so much for the answer! Couldn't it be used in a bark or something immediately after making the drops?

[@All-b7i]

Hello good job 👍

[@mosomate]

At first she clearly hits the candy, not the hook. I don't know if it was on purpose or she missed the hook. If the goal was to hit the candy, my theory is the following: the candy seems to be a dilatant fluid (which hardens on fast shearing speed), so a quick strike could make it hard for a moment and it "breaks off" in one piece.

[@DirtMcSlime]

The no talking is pretty cool. Like most Japanese food videos. Subtitles make it better

Where can I get a bag? Watching you make it for 20 mins can only fairly be followed up by trying it :)

[@SerialSpinner-ss]

Long crank means more leverage

[@AverageDoggo]

You know what else keeps corn syrup from sticking to hands? Gloves A scooping implement Literally anything but bare hands

[@phripp2868]

You may keep your hands clean, but most of the syrup would stick to the gloves or scooping implement. That’s wasting a lot of ingredient, and also making tools difficult to clean-up later with tacky syrup left on them. Hercules Candy has mentioned in their other videos that the syrup they make and use is quite thick. Therefore, the most efficient and clean way to scoop the syrup into the batch is by wetting their hands with water, then using wet hands to move handfuls of syrup to the bowl. The cold water between each hand scoop keeps the syrup from sticking and being wasted.

[@jonwoodson4971]

I’m guessing the hammer strike creates vibrations that shake the hook free from the candy? Why add air to it at all? Is it just for color or texture? Does it alter the flavor at all?

[@GLOW.UP430]

Same question I had, have they done one without pulling on the hook. Then I kept watching 🤣 got my answer!

[@mozzarellamaniac6300]

It's said there that adding air makes it lighter. Perhaps they do this to make the mix less dense and equalize its temperature from the inside out because the outer layer gets cold very easily while the inside of it is still hot that when they process it, the inside might leak out

[@GLOW.UP430]

​@@mozzarellamaniac6300and it makes it more edible I think, I imagine they'd be really tough without the pulling? I'm no professional candy maker though!

[@pennymissell4425]

Montana watching 😊

[@daniellemuaddib8016]

how long does a batch take from start to finish?

[@jeanashajames19]

5:55 why is it trying to stick ?

[@jonwoodson4971]

How low does the temp have to get before you can start handling it on the table? Also, how old is that copper kettle? I’m betting it has to be cleaned it by hand?

[@HerculesCandyASMR]

It's more of a feel for how solid it is. If it's too liquid it just won't work. It's been passed down for generations, it's got to be at least 100 years old. And yes it does, hot water gets majority of it all off though very easily.

[@Adam4s]

12:31 Imagine if they tapered this at one end and sold it as an octopus tentacle.

[@luciolojr]

I believe that it has a bigger crank 'cause the bigger the diameter, the less you need to roll it.

[@Titaniumjake1472]

I want a drop roller so bad !!!!

[@PheistEwon]

Have y'all ever used the crumbs left over in a cotton candy machine? Just smash them up into a powder? I bet that would taste so good.

[@حمودالسياني-ف7ق]

Do you use citric acid or citric acid with the ingredients?

[@Jakewheather]

The brand of flavoring you guys use is the same I used before. I find its flavor to be extremely week. I typically add it in after turning the heat off when it cools to 300. Even when adding 2 drama to a 1lb Bach it still has only a subtle flavor. Do I need to use more? Change the temp when I add it?

[@tammycox9789]

I have to say he's so cute

[@jamesroberts2620]

Why dip the hands in water before scooping the corn syrup? Why not pour the buckets contents in? I know nothing of candy making and am curious.

[@Yeapsaui]

It’s very unsanitary and not clean

[@gilsthyname256]

I wonder if you could do a tumbling process instead of using our hands to smooth them out. In certain times a batch could be done and being unloaded, while another is getting loaded to be smoothed out, but if it’s already effective then what do i know lol

[@jtetsuya]

Wait, why is the crank long? Did I miss the answer? 😅

[@chuckleshelicopterwigwamjo6305]

Longer crank = less effort to turn the gears, because it'll be less rotation

[@cleopatra5404]

Why do you pull some of the batch but not all of it?

[@renel7303]

They go back to it. There is a long low flame along the back of the pulling area, behind the slowly moving canvas sling. That keeps it pliable. After she pulls and cuts sections cooling speeds up. The candy still is very hot and pliable when he puts it into the bronze rollers. After that it's cooling fast, just takes a few more minutes to be able to drop the candy so it separates. Interesting to watch isn't it? 😊
