    I have been working with chocolate for years. The more I learn about the chemistry of chocolate the more I am convinced it is more magic than chemistry. From what I have learned things like ambient room temperature, humidity in the room, and "any changes to mass, weight, speed, time, distance, friction, or puff of wind" will cause it to bloom. However, nothing makes me want to do a happy dance more than getting a really good temper on a batch of chocolates.

      Tempering is worthwhile in any situation were you want the chocolate to be snappy, or just firm at room temperature. If your chocolate covered strawberries are kept in the fridge, tempering may be unnecessary... Also, if you are using candy melts or compound chocolate instead of real chocolate, it will set up firm on it's own and doesn't need to be tempered.

  • @mixiekins
    @mixiekins 5 лет назад

    If you think nibs are the first point of production that you can get as a consumer, you haven't heard the secret of cascarilla de chocolate (aka cáscara de cacao). These are the shells that are cast off of the beans during processing and in deep Patagonia you can buy them like loose leaf tea at bulk shops or farmer's markets. You simmer them in water (the longer the better, even up to an hour if you're so inclined, or repeatedly like pu erh tea) to make chocolate tea. It's something very old-school, to the point that my Argentinian friends from the provinces outside of Patagonia hadn't even heard of it. It's really a shame, too, because the tea it brews is very unique. You could imagine Mexican style chocolate milk but without the spice, and with a delicate flavor without a hint of bitterness like pu erh. You can add cream and/or sugar, or enjoy it straight. It makes your home smell heavenly, too.

    Haha, you get a Like for confirming what we all know is true: we love milk chocolate. XD I've worked with chocolate for four years now. I'm so tired of the comments about dark chocolate. You're not cool because dark is your favorite. Milk and white fans don't feel the need to announce it every time they eat it hahaha Finally a vent for this super niche complaint of mine!

    I read somewhere that, in America, they add something ( a compound, a chemical, I don't remember its name ) to chocolate that affects the taste. I think American chocolate tastes different than Japanese or European produced ones.

    I wish he went more in depth on the tempering process. But, the seeding method is a pretty easy method compared to some other types. That said, I'm kind of surprised he didn't so much as mention savory uses for chocolate (cacao/cocoa powder) such as in molé. Great video though.

      He made reference to how much there was to cover. This video couldn't address it all.

    When your introduction to chocolate as a kid is Hershey's, small wonder chocolate consumption in the US is lower than Switzerland, it's awful stuff. I grew up eating Cadburys and not the pseudo Cadburys sold in American supermarkets, Hershey did a deal with Cadburys so they couldn't sell their superior product over here. The Cadbury's you buy in the US is made by Hershey and they tinkered with it so it's not the same, but it is still better than a Hershey bar imho. The difference in deliciousness is night and day, The Hershey monopoly on the chocolate market is a crime against taste buds.

    @Dan Help. I made the recipe but the caramel remained too soft. It's still delicious but not nearly as firm as yours. I am not a novice baker and I did use a candy thermometer. I'm really kind of disappointed because I wanted it to be beautiful for the holiday. I had some problems with the chocolate also having to warm it more than the recipe says to in order to spread it.

    20 pounds of chocolate is about 50k calories if anyone was wondering.

      Piyush Gupta - quite a bit but I'm betting they balance it out with less of other things and/or different applications.

      It's not the bad kind of corn syrup. Different thing.
