An induction burner is not suitable for tempering chocolate. You can use one (in conjunction with a double boiler) as a chocolate melter (though some professional induction burners might go as low as 115-120F), but that's not the same…"

Hi!I'm a chocolate hobbyist who is trying to set up a chocolate work bench away from the proper kitchen in our basement.

Hi! I'm thinking about a project, using food grad silicone molds to make 15mm scale chocolate buildings. what I'd like to do is then use edible paints to paint them.

Has anyone ever done anything like this with any success? Cheers! KenSee More
