Can anyone tell me why I might have 50% of my shell molds pop out beautifully, and the other 50% break within the same tray? My thought is that because I bought these used, perhaps some cavities were cleaned out with something abrasive? Sometimes the entire circumference breaks, sometimes just a piece at the top. But I always get some portion of the molds that are perfect.
shell molding issues
It sounds like your chocolate is too thin. Try making the chocolate shell a bit thicker. Also, are you using cotton balls to wipe out your molds prior to use?
Hi Andrea! No, I have never cleaned with cotton balls, only a soft cloth. Unfortunately, with all the breakage, I've had to wash them (only with hot water) a million times, which I've read (somewhere) is not recommended.
I'll let them set up a little longer, although I have to say that I fear shells becoming too thick. Clearly, I'm on the wrong path right now, though!
Thank you!

Two changes we made with the chocolate is that this time we winnowed the chocolate. This time we didn't use a blow dryer to melt the chocolate. Two improvements with the chocolate is that the melanger didn't get clogged this time and everyone put in work.
