Chocolate sticking to molds


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

Hi Clay -

I'm curious as to the reasoning behind warming the moulds. I understand that in this case Russ was having trouble with sticking, but are there other reasons to pre-warm, like superior shine or quicker release time? I have never pre-warmed my moulds and have not had problems, but some of my moulds have a better shine than others, even when using the same chocolate (i.e. it's unlikely that some chocolate is in better temper than another) and identical moulds.

If you do recommend pre-warming as a matter of practice, would a heat gun also do the trick?
