Can someone advise if these Torani syrups are good for use in shaved ice/sno cones?

I've not used them that way, but seems like it would work. You could always get a mini bottle from a grocery store and try it before you go for the great bargain on the big A. Or call a Hawaiian ice shop and ask them what they use. Cheers

Yes! I worked at a place where we made shaved ice using torani syrups. They are very good in shaved ice & sno cones.

My daughter had an end of school year party, and I made about 20 or so sno cones consecutively. It held up great, and everyone loved them. I made about 15 ice pucks to make sure I had enough, and definitely had left over. Just be sure to leave the pucks out for 10-15 minutes before use, to get fluffy shaved ice.

I had bought these for Elderberry syrup. They are the same consistency as like a dried cranberry, except very tiny. You might be able to just blend them in your smoothie. I would not try to grind them as they would be very sticky and probably won't turn into powder. You could also cook them on a low simmer or let them soak and then add them to a smoothie after they cool. That would be the best way to get them soft in my opinion. Hope this helps.

I put mine directly to soak in vodka to make my own vanilla, so I can't help you on this one. I would hesitate to freeze them, though. My gut instinct just says it might not be the best thing. Looks like the other comments are split 50/50.

Yes you can use it on Candy or Maple Syrup. Basically any liquid or solid that you need to get the temperature of. The Temp Range is -40 to +450. I know Maple Syrup making is quite the detailed process so hopefully someone with experience on that end can weigh in here. We have had plenty of people use the thermometer for candy making and it works perfectly

Not sure about syrup (unless it is thin), I use them to filter used motor oil for reuse in my chainsaw.They are made of paper with the plastic micron mesh at the bottom.

I have a shaved ice business and this is a great unit. I have more expensive equipment and this is just as good as them. But on this unit you can make 100 cones at 12oz, it usually takes less than 20-25 min. I have a lot of experience and can spit them out very quick and when the lines start backing up I have to step it up. I timed myself and average about 4-5 a min. But its super soft shaved ice and not the crunchy snow cone type of ice. Its what keeps people coming to my stand and away from the other stands when I set up.

It only takes seconds for the machine to shave the ice. The ice will start to melt immediately, if you are outside, make those sno cones quickly! Its a great, powerful machine.

It might help. Only you need to make sure the rubber will not release anything harmfull or any bad smell/taste into the syrup or honney.

There are little plastic "pucks" in the kit. You add water to these and freeze them solid. When frozen you take one ice puck out of the plastic and drop it into the ice shaver, turn it on and it shaves away at the ice puck and into the cone. That's it, easy, simple, add syrup flavoring and you have a wonderful snow cone. They are called ice pucks because they look like hockey pucks. I freeze them ahead, take them out of the plastic and put them in individual sandwich size baggies so I have a supply on hand when needed.

No need to use the Rivo syrups. Use any syrups you want. I find that the Torani and DaVinci syrups are great.

I have only used it for ice. There's a delicacy called 'lady fingers' a kind of bread stick. Might work.

I don't think this is supposed to be used to make a syrup. It is similar to pure vanilla extract for flavoring in baking. The quality is very good. Perhaps you could try pure maple syrup??

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.

I am sorry but I am not sure. I used them to make elderberry syrup and this product was just as I expected.

I wouldn't use these for facial wax application. Some aren't totally smooth and I'd worry about splinters in my face! They are also pretty flimsy and may not hot up to the viscosity and the amt of hot wax you may use.They're really only good for coffee stir sticks or cake decoration stakes.

We used the blueberry syrup for that purpose with good results. I'm not sure how many pumps of syrup my wife used per cup of ice in a blender (probably one, the Amoretti syrups are very strong), then blend until the ice is powered.
