After putting the chocolate in my molds I put it in the refrigerator to set for about 10 minutes, if it doesn't come out of the molds easily then return to refrigerator. I only heat it up to about 110. I find if I don't put it in the refrigerator right away I do get bloom. Since I started that I've never had a problem.
Guittard A'Peels
Hi! I use both Guittard couverture and coating chocolates for my line. The coating chocolate is new and I've been working with it for a few days now. Here's the problem. The document provided to me says to melt the A'Peels (dark, milk and white) to 120-130 then cool to lower degree (no tempering required) to achieve desired finish. I cooled to 110 and got bloom. So then I checked with a chef consultant who said I should never take milk chocolate above 115. So I tried that and cooled between 105 - 110 and still got bloom.
Anyone else work with the A'Peels that can share your experiences and suggestions?

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.
