Learn The Why’s and How’s to Tempering Chocolate
Tempering chocolate is what gives it the snap and shine that we all know and love.
It’s what makes chocolate melt in your mouth and not in your hand.
It’s an art and science, but that doesn’t mean it has to be impossible.
Learn How To Temper And What To Do When It Goes Wrong
What you’ll learn…
Why Temper Chocolate
I find it’s really important to understand why something needs to be done, because then you know the importance of it and can happily dedicate time to it. Tempering takes time and patience and, in return, you get snappy, shiny chocolate. But we get into this topic more in class.
Various Tempering Methods
Like most things in life, there are many ways to temper chocolate. Everyone has their preferred method and the one that works best for them. In this class I will show you my preferred method and demonstrate some variations in, and refinements of these methods.
Tools & Equipment
The great news about tempering is you only need a few inexpensive items in order to temper at home or work. As you move on, you might choose to buy a machine, but you’ll still need to know how to do it by hand and all the things that can go wrong…. because machines will fail you, but, if you have the know how, you can fix what they can’t.
Setting & Storage
How do I store my chocolate and what’s the best way of setting it? These are very common questions that I am asked on my live and online courses. We’ll cover them in depth in class and, if they need to be adjusted for your environment, we’ll answer those questions in class.
Troubleshooting Common Problems
Over my years of teaching I have taken note of the most common problems that arise for people as they work with tempering their chocolate. It tends to boil down to a few common mistakes people are making.
