Thu, 01 Nov 2012 17:52:19 +0000

We have a 30Kg tempering machine for sale

Think it is an older JKV wheel machine

This machine needs some work – new shaft bearings needed and possibly a motor as one foot broken – may weld back on

Relatively easy fix – but as in silly season have np spare time.

Would like about £1100 but will take a sensible offer

chocchunk on Guitar Cutter for Sale - advice required

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:37:58 +0000

Hi,

I saw this guitar on eBay recently, am I right in thinking the model you are selling has a plastic base, rather than the typical metal base?

Thanks

Jackhammer on Abinao ganache suitable for filling c

Sat, 21 Jan 2012 04:13:16 +0000

I am looking for a ganache recipe suitable for filing truffle shells and/or filling chocolates. Our hotel has a deal with Valrhona so please dont start with the 'why don't you use this chocolate'....It's Valrhona or bust for me. I tried one recipe with strawberry puree and creme de fraises and dried starwberries folded in at the end. the response was 'great taste but too heavy'. I believe the powers that be wish for a lighter ganache, possibly even water based. If there are any other like-minded professionals who could help me it would be a great help.

My new executive chef wants to incorporate as many of the different plantation chocolates in our new chocolate range.

thanks in advance for any recipes.

wrighth1 on Guitar Cutter for Sale - advice required

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 18:20:51 +0000

Hi there

I have a three frame guitar cutter which I bought when I was living out in the US a couple of years ago and have never used. It comes with all the bits and three curing frames as well as spares, cutting boards etc.

I am not sure whether to put this on eBay as it is such a specialist bit of kit and secondly what would something like this be work - I think I paid around $1100 in the US.

Any thoughts/ help would due appreciated.

Thanks

Howard

I have a chocolate problem. We are producing 5-kg blocks of compound chocolates (composed of almost 43% hydrogenated fat and the rest is cocoa powder) cooled in a cooling cabinet or what we call Paternoster. The problem with this chocolate is that after it is out of the cooling cabinet, there are deep waves on the surface of the hardened chocolate. What could be the cause of this and how can we avoid this?

I would appreciate all the help you can give.

chocshop on panning machine

Thu, 08 Dec 2011 14:33:23 +0000

Hi - I have some experience of panning machines having purchased the Decobassina type and the COMFIT from SELMI (who we represent in the UK). My view is that while the Decobassina type has a gas jet, it is difficult to adjust - and the machine is supplied with very sparse instructions and no training. It also does not have a sprayer to apply the chocolate to the item being coated. You need to spend a long time using trial and error to understand how the machine must be used.

The COMFIT does not have a heater - but is supplied with a sprayer (that must be connected to a compressor) - SELMI also includes a one day training course to teach you how the machine should be used - and how to create a shiny end product without the use of gum arabic.

If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Unlimited delicious serve wonderful thick spicy hot chocolate. Puccini is good but different. More sophisticated. Good curls/purls/extras. Truffles are enormous.
