Spraying Chocolate: Equipment, Materials, and Techniques
Kerry Beal replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking
Jim - not sure where I wrote about it - but the prefilter of the cake safe is just interfacing. So if you take one of the filters with you to a fabric store and compare the various interfacings to it - you can buy several yards for not much money and cut it to size yourself. (oops - I really should read to the end before I post) -
Really big pimple squeezer?

Grabbed a couple of portioners from the restaurant supply - one 2 ounce the other 3. Perfect for spreading tomato sauce on pizza. The two ounce portioner seems to be perfect for this size dough.

Spraying Chocolate: Equipment, Materials, and Techniques
Kerry Beal replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking
I haven't tried the Iwata HPLV. 25 molds at a time - I'd be considering the Fuji myself - 5 at time the Grex. -
It is indeed the latent heat - I can make this effect happen by encouraging the latent heat to stay around - so what happens is the form V crystals get melted out in the heat.

Chocolate Shells Shiny, But Not Releasing From Mold
Kerry Beal replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking
Those two molds are definitely the kind that are difficult to release at the best of times - but much worse empty. The pyramid mold usually releases fine. -

Heat it with a microwave or hairdryer back to the working temperature. If too warm - yes - pour some out, work it again and add it back in.

Yup - some of the All-Clad I have (particularly the 3 pieces I picked up for $10 each - aren't induction compatible. But the All-Clad I have that are induction compatible work beautifully on induction and are much preferred to lifting a cast iron pan.

Picked up a couple of 1 liter bottles of Bertolli EVOO in the bargain bin at the supermarket. I chose to add onions.- 16 replies

Don't see any reason why not! The advantage of the compressor you can make batch after batch. K

What does the underside of a large paris-brest look like?
Kerry Beal replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking
Let me see if I can get one taken for you. Won't be til next week - but he does say that the rings should coalesce and you shouldn't see two separate rings. He says your choux is too dry - two rings side by side and one ring on top with a 12 mm tip Meanwhile - here's another underside -- 2 replies

I think that's a great idea - both the Koda and Frya were not available when I purchased my Pro. Now that I've realized that gas is my preferred fuel and seeing the burner pattern on the Koda I'd get the 16 in a heart beat.

I've told you before - resistance is futile! Of course you need boxes.

Got one of those bait rollers sitting in the chocolate room - perhaps one day I'll get around to using it!

This will be more like the tomric bar mold only a little more bendy. Do what you can to support them on a sheet pan, I'd probably pipe the tempered chocolate into them - then when they start to show signs of firming up on the edges - pop them in the fridge for 15 min or so until they have separated from the molds. You'll likely notice some de-molding marks because of the type of plastic.

Most people have a separate machine for white because the changeover is a pain.
