45 minutes ago, JoNorvelleWalker said:I had anovaed only twelve grams of silk and the silk cooled and solidified very rapidly after I removed the bag from the water bath. My silk was definitely powdery but it seemed to work. Or something worked, the chocolate was in perfect temper. Are you preparing a larger quantity of silk at one time so that it stays silky longer?
Before silk there was mycryo, which is a powdery, fine granular form of cocoa butter. Sounds like you did fine with your silk.
Yes, I prepare at least a cup of silk at a time. Yesterday and today I made a lot of product, tempered about 20 lbs of various couvertures. Still tiny batches by most measures, but more than a kitchen aid full. The ice cream maker with whom I share a kitchen shuts down for the season soon and I’ll be able to bring in my bigger melter and really get chocolate all over the place.
