Tip #128: Use a Heat Gun to Quickly Melt Wafers for Seeding

Posted By RCI, Tuesday, June 10, 2014

This week’s tip is quick and easy and may save yourself a headache as you temper chocolate in small batch tempering machines.
 
Are you using chocolate wafers as seed for your tempering unit? Before putting them in the feed of the tempering machine, quickly (don’t overheat!) use a heat gun on them to form one large clump or block of wafers. By doing this, you will help keep the wafers from sneaking through the blade and over-tempering your chocolate.
 
See? Quick and easy!
 
This week’s tip was shared during our Chocolate Boot Camp education course. RCI will be hosting a Creams, Fondants & Fudges course August 5-7 in Dayton, Ohio. Visit retailconfectioners.org/events to stay up-to-date with RCI's education course offerings in the coming year.
