We hand dip naked vanilla ice cream bars into E. Guittard chocolate. It's a special blend of chocolate and coconut oil. Talk to Jerry at Chocosphere. He has the ratio recipe or you can order a 55 pound pail of it already premixed. Much easier and less messy!
Hi David
We are just gearing up for a much larger production of our chocolates in the magnetic molds. We have hired a national marketing company and are beginning our wholesale division of the company. So I am going to hold off at the current time on selling the Easyfill Depositor as I'm suspecting we will finally be putting it to use.
Thanks for the nice comment on our presentations of the chocolates.
Currently, we have been purchasing our transfer sheets from Chef Rubber.
I purchased this machine about 5 years ago and have never used it. I have made several contacts to Tomric and one other about instructions on how to use it or a video, etc. Never have received a reply. So it still sits on the shelf. Plus, not quite busy enough, volume-wise, to have to put it into operation yet.
How to create a perfect ratio of a chocolate recipe is a very tightly held secret at the top of the chocolate ladder. And usually reserved for the top MOF Chefs of the French and Belgian, Swiss, German and Italian chocolate academies.
There is a pathway for the eager but serious chocolate student, enroll in courses taught by the 'academies.' Getting to the point of learning about perfecting ratios of ingredients usually takes a pathway of Beginner to Intermediate to Advanced coursework.
Check out the Callebaut Chocolate Academies worldwide.
Possibly you could look into taking the online course from www.ecolechocolat.com called: Quality Assurance and Keeping Limits of Chocolate.
Best wishes on your new venture.
I tried this method for nearly a year and every single piece of chocolate came out of the molds looking like there were finger prints all over them. Mind you, I followed this method, polishing them with cotton cosmetic wipes, and could never get a perfect shinny result. Long, frustrating story, short, I rinse them in hot water and then I put them through the dishwasher. Now, every single molded piece comes out with a perfectly bright shine. Spotless. No finger prints. Just gorgeous! So all this talk about not putting molds in the dishwasher certainly doesn't hold-water in my experience.
