    Thank you so much for doing what you do! I am such a visual person when it comes to these things, at least for solidifying the concepts. Speaking of solidifying, just made some bonbons with tempered chocolate and it was so cool to imagine the structures changing during the process! All thanks to your video. Cheers

    How difficult would it be to make a full chocolate bar of phase 6 crystals? I know it’s not as desirable as phase 5 because of the higher melting point, but I’d be curious to try it and compare to phase 5. Do you know if you can but phase 6 anywhere? I imagine it would make the process go a lot faster if you had seed chocolate that was already phase 6 so you don’t have to wait forever for it to nucleate.

    This is the only video I found that sufficiently explains what I was looking for. Culinary science is WAY underrepresented on youtube, at least *real* culinary science and not "culinary science" (you know exactly what I mean don't you lmao) so I really appreciate this video. It's a shame you never got the views it deserves.

    5:50. But I don't understand...if you dip below IV then rise above it to form phase V crystals then pour to cool don't all the other phase crystals form too? Also wouldn't it be fine to cool almost all the way down to phase I then above phase IV? I ask because of anxiety in doing it wrong can be discouraging.

    I've looked up tempering chocolate more times than i can count, but have never been able to wrap my adhd brain around the process, so i forget it all. But it turns out I've been tempering my chocolate without realizing it, all this time 😂 I've always melted my chocolate, and then mixed in some reserve chocolate because i just felt it made a better texture for dipping/drizzling etc. Wow I'm slow, but also somehow smarter than i thought 🫠

    This shows the fixing of seized chocolate by making chocolate ganache. That helps keep the chocolate usable, but it doesn't actually return the chocolate to a state where you could make coated strawberries that can be handled w/out sticking. Sorry if I'm coming across as Capt. Contrary.... I really dig the videos on this channel!

    Super interesting video on the science of caramel! I really liked how you explained the different stages based on cooking temperature. It would be great if you could make a video where you also talk about the influence of added fat in caramel and how it behaves at different stages, as well as the role of corn syrup (glucose-fructose or inverted sugar). I think it would add even more clarity for those who want to experiment further with caramel recipes. Thanks for all your hard work!
