@Ngonfoodie sorry for the late response and that I haven't updated the listing. No, the Perfect with the enrobing set up has sold, as well as the Selmi. The only machine I have left is red Perfect Air 2 without the enrobing belt. Thanks for your interest.

Not sure what's going on but every time I try to upload the photo of Ruth and I it uploads upside down 🙄, so no photo. Made it to Albuquerque, excited to be done driving for the day. @RanaMN forgot my iPad so won't have it with me...

Started my journey today! Rental car is packed to the gills (though I would say about half is being unloaded at Ruth’s 😂)

Definitely won't have room...

Actually, if it will fit I was planning on bringing a dehydrator we could use as a melting cabinet...

Gaylene and I took a boatload of photos of Bob's book when we were in Toronto. Have I tried any of them since - nope! But I can bring my iPad and folks can sift through the photos of the recipes I took to see if they were interested in trying any.

I can help you with the salted caramel

Bring ideas for anything you want to experiment with, need help with, want to try, etc. As for tools, I typically bring my own scrapers, offset spatulas, IR thermometer, apron, dipping fork (if I plan to dip anything), or any specialized equipment that you would need for anything you want to try that you don't think we'd be able to provide (which you can always ask if we will have it first). Also if there is a specific mold you want to play around with bring those as well. This is a great opportunity to pick the brains of a wealth of chocolate knowledge, get back to basics, and mostly a chance to meet like minded people and get to nerd out about chocolate for a weekend. It's one of my favorites times of the year

It's definitely going to depend on space as I'm bringing down quite a few things already, but I will do my best to pack these with me. If I cannot find room I will let you know.

Hey y'all, For those not aware, I'm closing my business by the summer. I posted on the Facebook eGullet page the list of my entire mold collection for sale. I'll post it here as well, in case there's any mold anyone is interested in, I'm driving down from WA to TX, so if they fit I can bring them with me (as I'm bringing a bunch of equipment for the workshop as well). DM me if there's anything you might want, I can also ship if you don't want to try and fit them in a carry-on. I will have some other equipment that I'll be listing (melanger, guitar cutter, mol d'art melters, fuji airbrush setup), so if anyone has use for any of those items let me know!

I haven't made a ganache from pomegranate molasses, but I have a made a caramel from it that's really good. I also have some bottles of pomegranate molasses I can bring down to play with.

Hey all! I have 3 Tempering Machines for sale in Wenatchee, WA. I am closing my business and so I'm liquidating all my production equipment. 1. Selmi Plus 2006 Auto Tempering Machine with R200 enrobing belt. Has a vibrating table (heating element hasn't worked since I bought it but is an option), the enrobing belt plugs into the tempering machine, so no additional outlet needed. Machine does run on 3 phase power. 25kg tank, tempers 25 kg in 15 minutes. Looking at $13,000, plus the cost of crating and shipping (though if close by there is a possibility for delivery). 2. Perfect Equipments Air-2 Semi-Auto Tempering machine with enrobing belt. Tank holds 45lbs chocolate. Runs on 110v power. I am only the second owner of this machine, it's a newer model Air-2, it has the overnight cover, heating element for the enrobing belt and full enrobing set up. Asking $7,000 for this model (that's what I paid for it, though these machines generally sell for 15k), plus the cost of crating & shipping, (though if close by there is a possibility for delivery). 3. Perfect Equipments Air-2 Semi-Auto Tempering machine. This is an older machine, but still works great. Runs on 110v power. Tank holds 45lb of chocolate. It also came with a warming cabinet, though there is a short somewhere in the cabinet, so I just used it as a storage cabinet. Asking $2,500 plus cost of crating and shipping (though if close by there is a possibility for delivery). Please DM me, respond to this post for additional questions/interest. Thanks!

Hey Kerry, I’m bringing some chocolate bricks I got as samples at the NW choc fest last fall that I won’t be using, people can probably use them in ganaches, and also some transfer sheets that I’ve had but don’t have a use for and they are simply taking space at this point. Happy to donate to the cause.

Hey Kerry! Is there going to be access to a Fuji during the workshop this year?

Yeah, given that I only just recently started washing my molds with dish soap, the idea of putting them through the dishwasher is an absolute hard pass. But not spending hours washing bowls, pots and utensils sounds appealing.

Thanks for the info Rob, I passed it along to my landlord and he thought it was an excellent idea so hopefully we can find someone other than Sysco to use 🤞

Just paid Kerry, sorry it took so long, just realized this morning that we are less than a month away! Anyone else feel like this year is passing by via light speed!?! 😬

Who wouldn’t suffer for those pastries is the real question!?!

If anyone needs/wants any of these items for their tilting melanger from Diamond Custom let me know I’ll bring them along…

Hey all! My landlord is building a new building and I get to move into the new space and design it how I want! 🤩 I'm very excited to say the least because I have quickly grown out of my current space. With the new space I asked if it would be possible to add a commercial dishwasher to the common dish cleaning area for a couple reasons - one I'm tired to spending a ton of time doing dishes 😆, and I feel overall it will save on water so I'm not constantly filling 3 sinks every time I need to do a load of dishes. I'm trying to do some research on the best options for commercial dishwashers, and specifically ones that would work well for a chocolate kitchen, so was hoping those of you who have a commercial space that might have a commercial dishwasher could give me some advice. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!!

So originally I thought I couldn’t attend because of a friend’s wedding but they have too many attending! Since I’m politely bowing out to help ease the stress I will indeed be coming! And I’ll be bringing one of my employees who’s showing great promise that I think can get a lot of the workshop - if nothing else being able to learn from some right-handed folks 😂. Already excited to see the list of folks joining this year!

Do you think if I were to order something from them they could deliver it to Tomric? I need some epoxy for my bowl...

@patris I'm planning on being there and pretty sure @Gwbyls is as well

Not sure if I'm the best one for this, but would be happy to pass along whatever knowledge I can that might be of help.

Real sad I won't be seeing you and Nancy this year! 😢
