Tempering Machine VS Melter

Posted in: Opinion

Good Day Everyone

I am sorry if I come off the wrong way. I decision was imminent. I want to thank everyone for their input on this. I was able to get a Rev 2 for a very good price. I would still like to get a melter with the let over money which is around $600. I see that the Mol D'art Melter is very popular. I was also thinkingabout this melter. Does anyoneknow where the cheapest place to get one of these melters?Does anyone recommend any other melter?

Thanks again for the help!

Good day to Everyone

I have been thinking about expanding my hobby chocolate making into a small business. I have been tempering by hand and melting on a double boiler for 1.5-2 lbs batch at a time, but I think it might be time to upgrade. I only have about $500-$1000 to spend at this time. I make bars and truffles. If you can let me know which you wouldpick and why it would be betterit would be a great help.

Thanks

Lawrence

Cleaning Molds

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

Hello Everyone

So I get some free moulds a few weeks ago. I was very happy about this. After getting them home I found a lot of little black specks in the detail parts of the moulds. The moulds were outside in a storage unit.Are these dark specks normal? Meaning left over chocolate ad someone did not clean these out very good?I took Q-tips and paper towels to the moulds after runing through the dishwasher.Some of the dark spots came out but some did not. I am not sure if they did not come out due to not being able to reaching in to the small detailed space or if the areembedded in the mould. Does any one have a better way to get in to these small spaces with out scratching the mould? I have add pictures. Please tell me what you think. I only ask because I would never put chocolate in it for someone if Iwould not eat out of it my self.
