Tempering Chocolate at Home

Tempering Chocolate at Home

Dear Lab Guy,

I want to make a chocolate nest out of tempered chocolate. What products would be the best for it? Many thanks, Nina

Hi Nina,
Sorry for the wait, my wife bakes and tempers chocolate so I wanted to confer with her on some neat products that can meet your needs:

SP Bel-Art Dispensing/Drop Bottles make drizzling chocolate, sugar, sprinkles or anything else easy squeezing, and it has a cap so you can store the left-overs!

The Transpette 8-Channel Transfer could work as an awesome drizzling tool!

Dial Thermometers are available in a range of temperatures to keep things consistent as you work with your chocolate.

Electronic dial thermometers are also available if you would rather go digital.

Timers are a great way to ensure your cook times. SP has multi and single channel models.

I hope this helped and answered your question. HAVE FUN creating your chocolate nests! Thanks for writing in, and please feel free to write back if I can help in any other way. Yours in science, Lab Guy
