How does a tempering machine work (Pomati)?

Posted in: Tech Help, Tips, Tricks, Techniques

I'm looking at the Pomati T5, and was wondering if anyone knew the hourly production rate of the machine, and how long the machine takes to temper.

Thanks

Valrhona tempers the same as other brands that I've used. Like lior said, I wouldn't melt it for 12 hours.Luis

Thanks for the info. I'll see if I can make it to that area. Do you just stop by, or do you notify him ahead of time?

I'm going down to Costa Rica in a week and a half, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any working cocoa plantations I could possibly visit.

How small can a small shop be?

Posted in: Opinion

I think it can be done. I recently saw a shop that was very well done, and I don't think any bigger than 300 square feet.Luis

Hi,I have a bag of cru hacienda, but haven't had a chance to make anything with it yet. There are 2 versions, one is organic and the other isn't but my rep told me that they are both basically the same, the one not labeled organic doesn't have organic sugar, the one labeled organic does have organic sugar, the beans are organic in both, that's the only difference.

Felchlin is one of my main chocolates that I use in my business as well, and my wife is a huge fan as well. I just thought the 100 was just ok. I really like the cru sauvage and the cru hacienda.
