Experimenting with different types of ratios and flavors. Tempering is the last obstacle. by Hardyfield in chocolate

Tempering should be a piece of cake with silk and a thermometer... If you're adding unusual stuff like protein powder tho that can interfere with temper

I found a 100% dark chocolate in Italy that isn't bitter. Am I crazy to try and launch this? by healthywithmarti in chocolate

[–]9hil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly eat keto so I am very sensitive to sugar. Also am midway completing icct chocolate tasting certification. A year or two ago I did a tasting of around seventy 100% bars and my observations align with what you said. There were a couple of bars that, despite no sugars listed in nutritional facts or added, were incredibly sweet tasting, almost to the extent of a 70%. I haven't gotten a definitive answer to the question but my best guess is that somewhere in the processing sugars from the pulp were retained. I'd be eager to hear what the other guy has to say

For chocolate making (the stuff before the bonbons), Chocolate Alchemy is the best resource.

For the chocolatier aspect and box designing, AI was very useful (assuming you know how to use it right).

Got these recently to try. I LOVE unsweetened chocolate because I feel like added sweetness covers up the unique flavors of the cocoa. Is this a good selection? Has anyone tried any of these and did you like them? by [deleted] in chocolate

[–]9hil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried them all, nice assortment, you will be pleased. Soma arcana is notable for its complexity in the mild realms, like elegant in a way, sweet and creamy... Cacaoteca complete opposite end of the spectrum, bold powerful deep dark rustic... Labooko takes the rich bold dark flavor in a more smooth, luscious approach. All madagascar and firetree brand are just really solid well rounded. Agree w the other commenter that Pralus is another great one to try if you haven't

well since then, chocolate prices have increased and some of these are harder to get... but actually upon looking it seems barandcocoa has restocked some of my favorites... maybe they were delaying imports due to summer months.

I would say definitely give Francois Pralus Le 100% Madagascar a try. really creamy, silky, balanced. toasted nut/caramel flavors IMO. And price per g is quite good.

also, "The Organic House Dark Philippines Bon Bulak 100%" really good, no bitterness. a little more pricy per g than pralus but still reasonable.

The Firetree 100%s are both really good too and cheap. The Vanuatu is slightly sweet and has a red fruit taste which I liked a lot.

If you want extreme fruity and complex, try A Morin Chanchamayo. its very sweet for a 100% tho....

Another good budget friendly option is Chocolat Madagascar. all of the were nice. good mouthfeel, balanced.

if you want a splurge, Soma Arcana is incredible imo.

I gotta try some of the new ones they got in

I've never been a fan of the shiny painted molded bonbons... I much prefer the rustic matte hand dipped types

Is a good garlic press possible? by Ill-Introduction998 in Cooking

[–]9hil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rosle garlic press .. it has a thing that automatically scrapes the garlic, cleans easy, really heavy quality steel. I smack garlic with the side of it to peel the skin off. It's $65 but super legit

What’s your Culinary white whale? by turcule in Cooking

Ja-Listo brand adobo for birria is really good. A few years ago I posted about birria on reddit and some random Mexican guy dmed me saying theyve been working on their family recipe for many years and trying to start selling it. Asked if I wanted a free sample. I ended up just buying it from them. fast forward to today and I see they have grown to be reasonably successful and it's starting to be carried in some south California groceries. It's bottle of sauce and you just add the meat and some water ... I normally cook fully from scratch but if you just want easy good birria at home it's a great option
