How to Temper Chocolate - CHOW How To

[SteamXjoseph]

Shouldn't a tempering process include the use of a pallete knife to spread the 3/4 of the melted chocolate thinly and scoop it over and spread it again over a cool work surface, repeating this process until your melted chocolate reaches a temp of 28C or 82F then returning the 28C chocolate back into the main mix, stirring it until it reaches 32C/90F. Only then it is ready for use and can be called a "tempered" chocolate?

Very informative. Best video on tempering I've watched so far.

Or you can melt chocolate, dip stuff in it, and eat it really fast before anyone realizes it isn't tempered. ;)

Why is it called a crystalisation curve when its melted chocolate?

Anyway, 48C to 26.5C to 29-33C in metric, wow thats not warm at all, I was suprised. Thanks for the tip.

[hhskald]

A curve because of the temps used to allow the cocoa butter to form crystals. Tempering rebuilds the crystals and at 88 deg (F), the crystalline structure is denser which is needed for the sheen and crispiness. You keep it at that temp when dipping or covering a cake because if allowed to cool slowly, the fat crystals will form loosely, resulting in sticky, dull and soft chocolate.

[Aprilshowersss]

i don think anyone thinks youre going to do one thing or another. This vid is for people who DO want to do all that work to temper their own Chocolate

[tonanzin21]

Exactly! Tempering your own chocolate gives you a sense of accomplishment. It is better than just buying it.

More simple tips for the temperature :

- put chocolate on your lips. If it's feel hot, the chocolat is too hot. If it's feel cool, the chocolate si too cool ^^

This is my version in 3 easy steps:

1) Find $2 bucks lying around

2) Go to the nearest shop

3) Buy the chocolate ready-made

SIMPLE

ORRR get about 20 dollars and make about 20 chocolate bars home-made. half the price.

[shindak666]

MMMmmmmm Hmmmmmm >.0 yummy

[diazrichard]

actual tools needed : 1 stainless steel bowl, chocolate, a few pieces of chocolate reserved, a probe thermometer, and rubber spatula. You can use probe they work better and you dont have to pay to buy another special thermometer. Plus if you use probe you can use it for custards as well as meat.

Nice program! You make it sound so easy!
