Do we have to use a heat gun over the chocolate that is dropped from the mold? Since it will be cooler, it could introduce other crystals and surely bring down the temperature of the chocolate

Hi! This depends on a lot of factors, predominantly temperatures and quantity of chocolate that you're re-introducing to the melter (i.e if you've shelled one mould or several) - The best thing to do is to check using sight, feel of the chocolate, and of course, a temper test. In some cases, a heat gun may be needed, may not, or a re-temper might have to occur. Hope this helps!

How long does the chocolate stay melted inside ? I might need it melted for around 5-7 hours since I might be participating in events in a kiosk, how can I ensure that ?

Hi! The chocolate will stay melted for as long as the tank is on and set to temperature. However, you should check the temper every 20 minutes or so, and re-temper as and when required :)

The lower tank contains water ? Thanks

Hi! No it doesn't :) Melting tanks dont require water, unlike a bain marie!

What is the name of the tool you used to put on top of the melting tank?
