Making candy, cream and sugar

[Parkerssugarhouse]

I'm wanting to make a little cream this weekend. Has anybody tried stirring with an 18 volt drill with a mixed bit? Is the drill powerful enough or will it destroy it?

When you try this post the results. For candy I small batch and stir with a wooded spoon. For cream and occasionally sugar I have a kitch maid that will handle a very small batch ( 2-3 cups at a time)

I have been using a wooden spoon for candy and have never tried anything else. I'm a little worried to try my tapping drill

It should work I mix powered dry wall compound with mine and it is a lot more stiffer than the cream you will be making. Let us Know how it worked. Good Luck Lee

for candy your drill would work just fine, but for cream it will rotate too fast and want to set up your cream. if wanting to use a drill you may want to find a HD 1/2 in drill with a low rpm, or may want to consider retrofitting a drill press because these tools have the power to spin the thick syrup, but slow enough to not crystalize when making cream

I made some cream yesterday for the first time with the drill. I tried once before by hand and it came out great. I did end up using a variable speed corded drill that I could get to go very slow. The cream didn't really get to the right consistency until this morning, is that supposed to happen? Also does anybody know if this would also work for granulated sugar. Can I use a medium grade syrup for sugar, I read somewhere that you should use very light but I don't have any in small bottles right now.
