  1. I could also see this marketed to college students for their dorm rooms. Sometimes they can't have a regular hotplate/burner but they can have small appliances like a coffee maker.
  2. Does it alert you when the egg is done? I could see something like this in hotel breakfast bars next to the pancake tunnel if it had an egg storage and dispensing system and shell disposal so you didn't have to touch raw egg.
  3. Even when flowing freely, the spray pattern is only half to 3/4 an inch wide. I personally don't worry about getting good coverage all the way to the edge of the cavity, but you can try the fan spray cap for a wider pattern. Coincidentally, I just noticed this store is having an anniversary sale, 15% off online today (3/29) through Monday with discount code 21ANNV https://merriartist.com/products/grex-fan-spray-cap-0-7mm-for-tritium-airbrushes-tf-5?_pos=1&_psq=grex+fan&_ss=e&_v=1.0 I like Roxy & Rich colors and mostly use their sparkly 'jewel' line. Available from chocolat-chocolat or I think Tomric is carrying them now and also webstaurant store. I'd gotten some samples of their natural line, need to test those out and report back because more states are banning more food dyes. West Virginia just banned a bunch, don't think I've ever sent chocolate there but this could be a trend. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/west-virginia-food-dye-ban-preservatives-harmful-health-effects/
  4. What does this mean, do you find those colors to be more viscous? What brand are you using? I use the same Grex, with a 2 gallon compressor. I'd say double-check your needle position, if it's too far forward it could be impeding flow. Also the knob at the back end that controls how far you can pull the trigger. And sometimes you can blow chunks out backwards by blocking the nozzle with your hand and spraying. Otherwise, I think that's just how it is. You have fat that wants to solidify in a metal cup in a cold room. It's gonna solidify. Keep your heat gun handy.
  5. How would the chatbot gain direct access to these chefs, and why would they respond to a bot over humans?
  6. https://shop.tillamook.com/products/makers-reserve-2014-extra-sharp-white-cheddar Tillamook has cheddars up to 10 years old available. I wouldn't be concerned about the quality of the cheese, but do be careful so you don't end up injured and posting in that 'never again' thread
  7. https://www.ampersanddairy.com/ ampersand butter, to go with your wildfarmed bread
  8. Are you planning to re-sell them or use them in producing food to sell? If not, I wouldn't worry about items for personal use.
  9. I have a shop, or more accurately a production kitchen where people can also shop. It's in an industrial area & I'm always a little surprised when people find me. I sell more wholesale to gift shops & gift basket companies than I do direct, which is fine. If you decide to go into business, check with your state Dept of Ag for their Cottage Food laws & if they aren't friendly to chocolate, look into commissary kitchens.
  10. IIRC, that's the 'bakery' discount, I think there's a 'chocolatier' discount as well but it's not as good so convince them you're a bakery if you can
  11. It's super satisfying when the bonbons come our all shiny and pretty, but excited customers doing involuntary happy dances are downright intoxicating. Makes all the hard parts of business worthwhile!
  12. I used to be a restaurant pastry chef, did mostly plated desserts for years. Now I'm focused on chocolate.
  13. @Saltychoc I use Felchlin Edelweiss, I'd say it's a little less sweet than Ivoire and a little less opaque than Opalys. Should be around $30-35/kg.
  14. I'd try wrapping it in a damp towel then in plastic for a day.
