Cathy Kuepfer replied to Mike's discussion Revolution x3210 Temperer"Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly. What you said makes some sense, as it worked fine in the beginning, and then after trying to change the vicosity as per the instruction manual, (pushing buttons during the cycle!) it gave us trouble…"
Cathy Kuepfer replied to Mike's discussion Revolution x3210 Temperer"Hi Mike,

Cathy Kuepfer replied to Lizzy Steffen's discussion Precoating Chocolate"I'm rather late to this discussion. What do you consider room temperature. We chill our centres, as they are too soft at 72 degrees to cover. We dip ours on a wire belt, into a cooling tunnel."

We have a lot of trouble, some days more than others, with the chocolate thickening as the day goes on. We turn the temperature up slowly as needed (starting at…"
Cathy Kuepfer commented on Clay Gordon's group Startup Central"I have worked in a small chocolate store in Port Elgin for a number of years, with no one to really talk to about some of the intricacies of making chocolates.
