    I stay in Bangalore, India. During summers the temperature goes up to more than 32 to 36°. Is it possible to temper at this temperature? Because room temperature will be high and we have to bring the temperature of chocolate down to 27°. Is it possible to temper properly?

    I am a fairly new mechanical engineer working in the steel industry and I think this was a great video! I love your use of the term "culinary blacksmith" because I thought the same thing when I first heard about "tempering chocolate"; my mind also created an image of a steel mill casting chocolate instead of steel haha. One other food product that reminds me of steel making is gelatine, because water gets trapped inside of the triple helix protein structure when it cools, like how Carbon gets trapped inside of Iron's cubic structure during solid solution strengthening.

    How come when I cool the melted chocolate down to 27°C it gets really thick and I'm unable to really work with it? Heating it back up to 31-32°C is not enough to get it to a workable consistency. I'm using Callebaut 811 dark chocolate.

  • @your-mom-irl
    @your-mom-irl 5 місяців тому

    very interesting! having studied a bit of metallurgy i wonder if abruptly cooling down the chocolate to a very low temperature (maybe with liquid nitrogen) would result in some strange unstable chocolate phase, just like martensite for steel! Or maybe what kind of additives could change the melting points of different phases, just like austenitic steel becomes stable at room temperature when you add chromium. 太谢谢你了!
