I am thinking about using this at a kids's party - how long does it take to make the gummies from start to finish?

Around 30 minutes from what I remember, or less. Been a while since we've used it.
1351465
Heating, pouring, jelling took about an hour as I recall. Could heat and fill molds and then eat cake before unmolding. Might need a few rounds to let each kid have a turn. This could be accomplished using microwave/extra molds.

It took my boyfriend an I about 45 minutes start to finish, but when I skipped using the little pot it came with and just used the stove and a little pot, it was about 10 minutes faster

I never actually timed the runningI use it outdoors for my home day care and the kids have a good time and the bubbles last long beyond their interest. That works for me.Perhaps up to 45 minutes to 1 hour.

I used milk n dark chocolate that I bought from Michaels Craft store. If you put in fridge it takes 15 mins n freezer like 5 mins

at least an hour -- that's all i've tried. i must admit i use it for an unintended purpose: grinding foam rubber for model railroad scenery purposes in lieu of buying commercial product. i just got it & am still learning how full to fill, what setting, how long, etc. it seems a good machine, and ought to be quite satisfactory for its intended use. ajs

Hi De, last year for Halloween I purchased two 5lb blocks for an office caramel apple making party, and got about 75-85 apples from it. This was with everyone dipping their own, and therefore being more generous with the caramel than you might if you're making them all yourself =). I would guess 3-4 blocks should do it. Edit: I'm looking over my list from last year, and I would definitely say 4, not 3 blocks, and I had smallish apples.

Well I use it for baby formula and with newborns it took about 2-3 days to go through a batch. I haven't really ever had enough made to go longer than that. I probably wouldn't go longer than 4-5 days personally.

Pretty much as per the directions and once heated stays hot if you turn it off then back on to make another batch. My best advice is to go to u tube and watch videos on how to make the cotton candy, this really helps when you get ready to do it the first time. I found sugar worked better than candies, not such a sticky mess. It's fun!

Hi, I used this at an event before and made about 10-15 consecutively. Then there was a long wait before I had to use it again. Just be prepared to refill the ice after you make each one. I was preparing myself for the burning smell when an appliance is run for too long but it didn't happen.

For me it takes around 2 to 3 months to finish it and gum stays in perfect conditions.... I have not a bad experience with it. I love this size because you save a lot.

I've also heard that iron doesn't work in gummies. Have you seen an iron gummy? I think the iron changes the color/flavor of the gummy and would make it unappealing. Looks like people will have to stick to tablets of iron. No doubt it is important!

It's always best to thoroughly chill the mixture before processing. If you don't, it can take a little longer than 20 minutes with some recipes. It can be consumed immediately after processing but I always put in the freezer to harden completely. It creates an amazingly smooth product. Excellent machine. One of my best purchases ever. You will not regret it.

My daughter loves these. I don't think it takes long at all...they have YouTube instructional videos that show you the process of making them.

Let them completely cool, then put them in a plastic bag or container. Ours have never lasted more than 3 days(eaten). Most of the recipes are written to make 6-8 cones.

My wife uses it most often and she says she has used it 2-3 hours with the cheaper chocolate wafers and as long as the chocolate remains at a usable level there is no problem. Hope it helps.

It depends on how much you use. If not much, it doesn't take long at all. I just used it with my kids handprints. One of them use a bunch and I just let it dry overnight.

I did the starter pack, used it twice a day and it lasted about 3 weeks. The powder seems to go faster than the liquid, since you are supposed to "cake" it on. I didn't have much luck with it, but it seems to have worked for a lot of other people.
