All in all, would it have mattered  if Prince cooked with plastic wrap? Or Paul Walker?

 

No.

[Who thought apricot kernels made a great snack?]

But the part of this story no ones paying attention to is that if you listened to the audio, he never got sick.

He went to the hospital because of that label, but nothing really happened to him.

 

So basically its a non story

[Who thought apricot kernels made a great snack?]

They sell them in Asian mkts as Almonds of some sort too

[Recipes for nutrition or protein bars THAT AREN’T SWEET?]

Quest bars are low carb and the Birthday Cake one is excellent, but they are sweet..

 

If you succeed in making a savory bar, go on Shark Tank.

[Recipes for nutrition or protein bars THAT AREN’T SWEET?]

Theyve attempted to make em several times over the years and they end up failing cause in ppls hearts they buy the sweet bars to feel good about eating candy, so I guess savory bars dont give em that naughty thrill.

Kind made a few savory bars, there is a cricket flour one, a lotof ppl use beef jerky as a "bar".

Does it work well?  Is the construction good?  I sort of wanted to buy it on principle, but it didn't make any sense to have second one.

Oh yeah, and a Foodsaver knockoff for $30.  I already have a Foodsaver so I bought the bag material (which is advertised to work in any machine) for $4.99.  Haven't tried it yet.  But I'm worried that they won't keep it in stock.

 

I bought the foodsaver 4 weeks ago

[High-quality Cocoa Butter]

OMG that old cocoa butter definitely was rancid! I got the new stuff today and Its PERFECT!

Too late to experiment but YIPEE!

[High-quality Cocoa Butter]

I found deodorized cocoa butter cheap on Amazon, I bought some fresher regular CB and deodorized CB.

 

I think the CB I have was too RAW and unprocessed.

 

Now I just need to find a free or cheap or used Chest freezer

Or I just got a big bag of Felchlin CB chips from Albert Uster.  It's not a fine powder like Mycryo, more like mini chocolate chip size

The Mycryo website says you can fry steak and chicken in it...huh?

 

Do the Felchin chips have any chocolate flavor?

[High-quality Cocoa Butter]

Hi,

I bought several bags of food grade cocoa butter and they ruin everything I make with them.

Its THEM not the other ingredients. They all have an acrid sour note. What brand do you all use?

Reviving this thread because I've got to make bonbons with a fizzy/popping component to them.  I was thinking about adding pop rocks, and after reading here it seems that mixing them with ganache is definitely not the way to go since  there's too much free water in ganache.  The workaround seems to be coating them with fat (cocoa butter).  What is the best way to do this - spraying with an air brush or panning?  If it's the latter, would the coating of cocoa butter be too thick?

 

Alternatively, if I didn't spray with cocoa butter, would it work if I filled a dome mold 1/2 way with pop rocks and then followed that with a thin layer of chocolate as a barrier before adding the ganache?

 

Someone also mentioned something called "texturas fizzy", and there's also a "texturas sparkey".  I haven't used either of these these before - does anyone have any experience using them?  If so, which is better?  Would the fizzy be weird with chocolate and feel like you're eating your chocolate with a tablet of "eno" fruit salt?
