WTB - Small Enrobing Set-Up

Posted in: Classifieds F/S or Wanted

Dipping chocolates by hand is getting to be too much for us and we are trying to find an affordable next step. We are looking for some sort of second hand enrobing set-up, be it a wheel machine or (probably cost prohibitive) continuous tempering unit. Must have enrobing belt. Please let us know if you have something available. We are in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Feel free to email christy*_*farion@hotmail.com (no asteriks). Many thanks!

Cooling Case Purchase

Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

Hi All,

I am looking for a climate controlled cooling case for chocolates and I am wondering if people have suggestions that have really worked well for them? Do you know of anywhere that sells used/refurbished ones for a reduced price? Budget is a concern. I like the Oscartek ones, but they come with quite the price tag. Bonus if it is in Canada, as all my research is coming up in the USA which adds to duty, shipping, etc.

Thanks!
Christy

Need help when airbrushing colored cacao butter to molds

Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, & Techniques

Hi Tony,

When I decorate molds with an airbrush, I spray them all first. Then I take a scraper and scrape the excess coloured cocoa butter off the surface of the molds (and sides, if necessary). It drastically cuts down on the amount of coloured cocoa butter getting into my chocolate. You will still get little bits, but it will be a lot better. I also save the coloured cocoa butter that I scrape off and re-use it for future batches (if there is a significant amount - much more likely if you are making many chocolates).

All the best as you make your chocolates!
