    I made truffles today and I was feeling really good about it because I had checked my ingredients and got the right type of chocolate so I wouldn’t have to temper the chocolate for the outside shell, I crushed some nuts to roll a few of them in and made the filling and it was going really well. And then my mom finds some previously melted chocolate in the fridge so I add it to the rest of my melting chocolate, well apparently some moisture got into the fridge chocolate and the whole thing seized. Long story short I’m about to cry and have no truffles to comfort me. I hope my tragic fail will be a lesson to all: DO NOT USE OLD FRIDGE CHOCOLATE THAT IS NOT IN AN AIRTIGHT CONTAINER! thank you and have a lovely day

      Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear about the addition of the refrigerated chocolate. Perhaps, "if" this happens again (I'm sure it won't...we learn from our past mistakes), but do anyone else recall what Ann told us. Go ahead and add some room temperature cream and make the melted chocolate into a truffle filling "OR" use as a filling or icing for a cake (afterall, ganache is delicious too). :-D

    Oh, I always thought tempering was rubbish and unneeded, but I just figured out why my chocolate always behaved like I wanted without knowingly tempering it.
    I am inpatient, I double boil larger chunks of chocolate and before all is melted pull it off the heat and just mix till the last pieces of chocolate melt into the already melted chocolate. This probably ends up behaving like the "seeding" method of tempering chocolate.

    • @maddened6264

      I did so today as well, water bath was the best option for me today (MW is loud, and grating chocolate is too messy) so I warmed it up, but kept an eye for the chocolate not to overheat.
      Overall, I think I did well with it, as the chocolate hardened way nicer than it used to (My grandma taught me to melt the chocolate till watery).
      I think I will be using the seeding method, as it seems as the easiest, most practical and least messy.

    • @minasituation
      @minasituation 4 роки тому +31

      Misfit Hog I think it’s actually the first method, keeping the chocolate in temper. If you took it off heat before it was all melted, and then stirred just until it all melted, it likely didn’t get so hot that it ever came out of temper. I think I accidentally do the same thing!

  • @Freestila

    Interesting fact: In Germany we have verry strict standards regarding food. For lots of food it is regulated what can and can't be in it to be given a specific name. For chocolate e.g. it can only contain cocoa butter (and the milk fat from the milk part of milk chocolate). If you change cocoa butter to any other fat or oil, you are not allowed to name it chocolate.
    Whenever i heard the talk about compound chocolate i always thought this could be what is called "Kuvertüre" (couverture chocolate), but even that must contain cocoa butter instead of any other fat :) compound chocolate is actually called (translated) chocolately fat glasing - the cheapest thing you can get.
    Fun fact: Some american chocolates (like hersheys) are not allowed to be marketed as "chocolate" here - they need to label it as chocolade containing sweet or so.
    Second fun fact: We have also strict rules about milk (soy milk can not be called milk), cheese and beer :) And looots of other products ;)

    Hey Ann, I just wanted to say, thank you for sharing this wonderful information with us. Up until this point, I had no idea that there even was a difference between the chocolates and that for some of them, you have to temper them. So again, thank you so very, very much for sharing this information with us. This video was very helpful.

    What I love about your more 'tutorial' like videos is the way you do it efficiently and with the assumption that the people watching it are working with zero background knowledge. It was so easy to understand and follow! I've have followed your 'you do not need to know how to temper chocolate as long as you know not to take it out of temper in the first place' theory and for the first time in my life my chocolate came out the way I wanted it to. But now I'm itching to try the other methods too!

One way I temper my candy is on a flat electric plate warmer or chafing dish on a low to medium setting then place the chocolate chips into shallow bowls and just leave it for about 20 minutes then it's ready to go.

    *Just to warn some aspiring chocolate connoisseurs*
    The definition of “high heat” varies greatly between microwaves. I attempted this method and after just one round of heating all of my chocolate shavings were completely melted and definitely not in temper. And I had unfortunately already mixed my chocolate with some other ingredients which I wouldn’t be able to but over the heat so I couldn’t force it into temper(I mean maybe I could have but they weren’t that important so it wasn’t worth it).
    I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with this method. I know it was just too much heat because some parts seemed more tempered than others.
    I would suggest starting on medium or even low heat just to be sure or just heating in shorter intervals.
    So chocolate consumer beware. Microwaves are little batches.
