Spraying Chocolate: Equipment, Materials, and Techniques
leopardots replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking
Sorry same questions, tempering the cocoa butter to 30/30 to spray how do you regulate the small airmen to successfully deal with the load and would you use a small amount of colour per tijme in the gun/pen?? If the gun/airpen per say was 35/40 would that affect the cocoa butter being sprayed?? many thanks When spraying how hot do you guys have the cocoa butter? Do you pass it through a sieve before spraying? how hot do you hold the spray pan/gun components? many thanks -

Will give the Grex another go today at work. Smaller compressor at work and will change for the 0.5mm needle. -

Thanks kerry, The guy from the site didn't think the psi was enough for a spray gun and pointed at more expensive models. I take it the only other question I have is the type of gun to run with this unit. Many thanks -

Hello I am currently looking at https://www.air-craft.net/acatalog/Sparmax-TC-620X-Airbrush-Compressor.html#SID=2025 for use as an air sprayer. does anyone know if this would be sufficient to support an spray gyun also?? I need something very quiet and reliable would this compressor be more suited? https://www.air-craft.net/acatalog/Werther-Sil-Air-50D-Silent-Airbrush-Compressor.html#SID=30 -
Are the quantities right for the syrup?

400 g water 1 KG sugar 5 g glucose Cook to 105 degrees Take from heat and let it cool down to room temp then use . I took this from an online recipe, but the sugar coating tends to come off during panning, also using shellac and polish seems to take it off also.

I have tried and failed miserably at trying to create a hard sugar coating that can be polished (ala m&m's) Does anyone have a recipe or guide as to the best way to go about achieving this>?

I use liquid pastry to seal the tart in then bake at about 90ºc. I find the longer slower cooking process helps, also, room temperature cooling is essential.
