NIMALI RATHSARA Don’t forget the fake note-taking.

[@diht]

dont forget it is considered impossible to mix chocolate with water

[@Xxcertaindeath23xX]

@@diht to add to that, it's also not a traditional way of making a mousse like the people are probably used to seeing

[@tysonlaakkonen9773]

​@@diht who says that? its not just water, its any liquid containing mostly water which includes the classic... cream. A small amount of cream in a large quantity of chocolate is bad for it, just like water --it can thicken the chocolate and adding a little more cream would make it seize completely ... which would ruin the chocolate for specific uses HOWEVER if you continue to add more cream eventually it will thin out again and can then be used as a base for mousse or a general chocolate emulsion as a base for other things. So, small amounts of moisture in chocolate is generally considered bad, but larger amounts are good. since seized chocolate has limited uses.

[@ninnusridhar]

Heston continues to prove a mix of complexity and simplicity is the key to culinary advancement. Btw an insane flavour upgrade for this would be to out Sichuan peppercorns and dried tangerine peel in the water and letting steep. It works like god's own ambrosia with chocolate

[@thehammurabichode7994]

I wish that @MasterChefWorld would pin this (not that I've tried it)

[@radshi]

"Look doctor, I need a pair of glasses but could you make it so that it looks like a ski goggle? "

[@lorenroot7667]

So, Heston has another youtube video with this exact same recipe/technique, however, he calls for 270ml of water in that recipe vs. 425g of water in this video/recipe. 270ml of water works WAY better than 425g in my experience of testing both.

[@catiaVanPT]

Lmao

may be it is different kind of chocolate, i would try different amount of water with different types of chocolates :)

[@indid36]

this recipe did not work with a 54,5% chocolate, apparently...

[@CookingWithCows]

the amount of water in this video is plainly wrong. it's 1 part chocolate to 3/4th parts of water. So if you have 350 grams chocolate, you take 350 times 3/4 (75%) = 262g water (round it up to 270 because evaporation and stuff)

[@gordonbennett5638]

He does explain they have experimented with different quantities of water.

[@mahamshahid1801]

[@annah4090]

I have always been told that chocolate and water were meant to be mortal enemy and here they casually dumped water into the chocolate and mix it. *I have been lied to all my life*

[@Galraed]

Not really. Too little water and it'll just be a grainy mess. Too much and it will not thicken. Not hot enough to properly melt all of the chocolate, grainy mess. Water and chocolate doesn't mix well or easy. He is able to do it because he's done a lot of trial and error finding the right ratio and method.

It's super-easy, but since there is nothing to moderate the flavor, you have to have the absolute best chocolate you can get (after lots of testing, I like Cacao Barry, lighter Valrhona, and Michel Cluizel). So it's pretty pricey unless you buy couverture in say, 10kg batches. That, by the way, is the minimal morally justifiable quantity. :)
