Melting the chocolate
Ready-made chocolate is sold in different forms: culet, "buttons", discs or mini bricks. Before working with it, it must be melted (or dissolved). In order not to stay in vane next to a microwave oven or a water bath, we offer a 20 kg chocolate tempering bowl and a wheel mixer in this kit. It will melt the chocolate itself and keep it in liquid form at a constant temperature set by you for as long as you need, and the wheel mixer will stir the chocolate so that the heat is evenly distributed throughout the mass. Moreover, the mixer has a special spout that takes the chocolate off the wheel and lets it flow in a steady stream from the top to the bottom, the intensity of which can be adjusted. This will allow you to cope quickly with the stages of preparing the bon-bon shells and closing the bottom of the candies.
Production of bon-bons
So, we have solved the problem of melting the chocolate. Next is pre-crystallization. If you are using the tempering or seeding method ... or dissolving, you know how tricky these operations are and how much skill they require. Plus, it takes quite a long time. In order to speed up the process, we recommend preparing chocolate for work by adding "silk" - cocoa butter with a temperature of 32.5-33 degrees in a pasty form (Video on how to do this –(прим. перевод. link). So this concentrate of stable cocoa butter crystals is called “silk”. All we need is to add this paste to the chocolate, the temperature of which does not exceed 34 ° C, in an amount of about 0.2% of the total weight of the chocolate to be prepared, and wait until the stable crystals are distributed throughout the bowl.
The vibrating table, designed specifically for working with polycarbonate candy molds, perfectly adheres to the tempering bowl. The vibrating table has two types of surfaces. One surface is solid and plain - it is needed for vibrating the molds after pouring to get rid of air bubbles. The second is a grate, which hangs over the bowl with chocolate - it is needed in order to put the molds upside down on it and drain the excess chocolate back into the container, and not on the table (or wherever), as most chocolatiers, who do not have such installation, do. In this way you get cleaner and faster production.
Paints. If you have a container for storage of colored cocoa butter, you do not need to mix the colors again every time, which certainly helps a lot when you need to make many candies quickly. The paints will always be warmed up and ready to go, you just have to choose a color and get to work.
⚠️ Note: the kit does not include an airbrush for cocoa butter, which is used to evenly distribute the colored cocoa butter in the mold. An airbrush is only one of the techniques. If you need it, you will have to purchase it somewhere else. But remember that bon-bon shells can be decorated in other ways: sponges, brushes, toothbrushes, etc.
Mini incubator for cocoa butter crystals is my favourite «toy» for the last 1.5 years. An amazing machine which I use for tempering cocoa butter and chocolate. After 12 hours inside mini incubator cocoa butter gains beautiful creamy and silky texture — ideal for tempering.
Отзыв от наших клиентов мастерской шоколада "Цветок папоротника" о опыте работы с инкубатором какао кристаллов.
Хочу сказать огромное спасибо за шёлк. Я два года работаю с шоколадом, и максимальное количество темперируемого шоколада за один раз в миске составлял 700 грамм. И уходила на это 45 минут. Производительность маленькая, а сил и энергии уходило много. Для меня шёлк - это крутой помощник! Вчера и сегодня работаю с ним целый день и восхищаюсь. Работа стала быстрее в разы! Ещё раз благодарю за шёлк!
Хочу поблагодарить команду компании KADZAMA в лице Дмитрия Матейчика за отличное оборудование, которое использую каждый день.
1. 24/7 работает чудо-аппарат "инкубатор кристаллов какао-масла, что упрощает работу с шоколадом. Темперирование в любом количестве и когда угодно - СУПЕР!
2. Ванна для темперирования - пожалуй самое оптимальное решение для работы с небольшим объёмом шоколада (до 20-30кг). Несоизмеримо проще использовать данный аппарат вместо автоматических темперирующих машин (дешевле и проще в обслуживании) с объемом до 20 кг.
3. В ближайшие время планирую покупать меланжер... и знаю точно где, у кого.
Короче... Молодцы! Успехов!
The equipment is amazing, I am very satisfied with it, unfortunatly, we couldn't open the bussines, because the current covid-19 restrictions, but we trust everything is gonna be better..
