    I love my infrared thermometer and I had an inexpensive chocolate tempering machine(it died) and then I discovered another use for my Kenwood Cooking Chef stand mixer.

  • @betapatt8271
    @betapatt8271 Před 3 lety +4

    The easiest way I found to temper chocolate was with a counter top bread proofer. You can set the thermostat to the temperature you want and keep it at it. No longer having the chocolate hardening after a while and having to bring the temp back up and risking having to temper it again.

  • @hipsepipse
    @hipsepipse Před 3 lety

    There is a way to temper chocolate without a thermometer, but not in the microwave. You slowly melt 2/3s of your chocolate in a pot on the stove and when it's melted but not runny you add the last third and stir until smoothly combined. I believe this method is called seeding the chocolate. I'm not a pastry chef but the desperation from lack of peanut butter cups in my country was mounting, so I tried it at home and it worked!
