No stuttering 'um's no repeated big words phrases like 'you're gonna go ahead and stir vigorously' no fancy schmancy.....JUST BEAUTIFUL MUSIC THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO

I’m glad you like the video💗💗

Excellent. I have been using this method for years and never seen it on a video anywhere. Somehow I got to it from a combination of what Ina Garten showed one time and what I just ended up doing. People, she's got it right, if you want tempered chocolate, give it a try. (The only thing I do differently is use the microwave for the first step, small spurts, and I use Ghirardelli chips.)

[@ButtercutBakery]

Thanks for sharing! Absolutely, the microwave is also quicker! I find that with a double boiler you’re able to control the chocolate more, so whatever is more handy ☺️ I appreciate your comment! 💕

[@KurlinaBalagaPentiah]

This is so helpful, I always struggle with tempering chocolate. Do you have any tips on how to make it set faster during summer?

[@ButtercutBakery]

So glad this video was helpful! If the chocolate is tempered correctly it shouldn’t be an issue during the summer, it might only take a few more minutes to set. It’s important not to out it in the fridge because it will “ruin” the tempering ☺️☺️

[@KurlinaBalagaPentiah]

Ah okay. Thank you so much. 💕

@@ButtercutBakery oh really? What if I made cakesicles? It’s not a good idea to refrigerate it in the process? New here by the wayang loving your videos ❤️❤️❤️just subscribed

[@ButtercutBakery]

Thank you for subscribing! If you’re using “real” chocolate do not refrigerate unless what you are doing is going to be used right away and should stay in the fridge. But for example if you’re making hot coco bombs they should stay at room temperature or breakable hearts or bear or stuff like that. Now this is different with candy melts, they usually have no issue sitting in the fridge.

@@ButtercutBakery this is really interesting. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️

[@marievelgarma8810]

Once the chocolate is melted, can i used and melt it again, is there no effect from the chocolate? Thanks

[@ButtercutBakery]

Hi there! Sorry for the delay. Yes, you can reuse it and follow the same procedure to temper it ☺️

[@josephabakus5764]

Please, is there any way to understand the the right temperature in absence of thermometer? Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@ButtercutBakery]

Hi there! I don’t know if I can answer your question, but for me it’s when the chocolate is 75% melted. This is why I don’t let it melt all the way through and remove it from the heat before. Also for the microwave method, I try to stick to 20 seconds intervals to avoid burning it. Adding unmelted chocolate to the melted one will also cool it down which will allow the tempering process. I hope I was able to answer your question 😊

[@priscilaponcecastaneda6946]

Thank you !! Can i use this method with milk chocolate ?

[@ButtercutBakery]

Hi, Priscila! Yes, works with any type ☺️

[@ralianews6330]

Tank you for for this method what type of chocolate or brand should we use, because I can't manage with chocolate bars. thank you so much

[@ButtercutBakery]

You can use any type of couverture chocolate with this method, if you hate tempering I would suggest using candy melts since they don't require tempering and Stover's sweet shoppe have some good ones!

[@ralianews6330]

Thank you very much for your answer it's very kind and you, you used which brand of chocolate ? Can you tell ?

[@ButtercutBakery]

@@ralianews6330 in this video I simply used chocolate chips 😊

[@linamasad3613]

Can I add seed oil to make it more glossy ?

[@kyjjangyo]

Great tip and method! Few questions: can we do a test piece before piping the entire batch (like a thin piece), do we cool/wait before transferring to piping bag and do we have to use it all at once? Thanks!!!

[@ButtercutBakery]

Hi! When it comes to tempered chocolate you need to work fast. You can absolutely do a test piece before piping the entire batch, but no do not wait for the chocolate to cool before transferring to piping bag because once it’s cooled it will set so it will be impossible to pipe 🥰

[@kyjjangyo]

@@ButtercutBakery thank you so much! New subscriber to your channel, your videos are amazing! Can't wait to try tempering with your method cause I've tried before and it didn't work out :)

Thank you so much! Let me know if you have any questions!

[@chingchingkhek2562]

Can I use compound chocolates instead?

[@shaz185]

Great video! Thank you so much for letting me know you uploaded this! You make it look so easy! No thermometer or anything! I will definitely be trying this out! Thank you so much!! 🥰🥰🥰

@@ButtercutBakery I will do! I’ll give it a go as soon as possible 🥰🥰🥰

[@shaz185]

I think I’ll hopefully be trying your method soon. Does this work the same with white chocolate? Also, can it be coloured?x

[@ButtercutBakery]

Yes absolutely! And can be coloured of course using oil based colours always☺️☺️

@@ButtercutBakery Thank you!! 🥰

[@tameecaowens]

After allowing the chocolate to set at room temperature, can it be wrapped in foil and packaged for party favors?? Will it melt?

[@ButtercutBakery]

Hi Tameeca! Sorry for the late reply, when chocolate is tempered properly it will not melt at room temperature so yes you can wrap it as pastry favours!

[@tameecaowens]

@@ButtercutBakery it’s okay, thanks for responding!

[@aimeerivera6625]

I plan to make snickers and I wanted to dip them in the tempered chocolate , do I have to dip the snickers right away after I melt the chocolate? Do I leave them out in room temperature for the chocolate to set? Or do I have to refrigerate or freeze for it to set on the candy bar?

[@ButtercutBakery]

Hello! Yes you need to dip them when your chocolate is melted because tempered chocolate will set fast and if it sets then you need to temper it again! You can leave them at room temperature and should usually take around 20 minutes to fully set :)

[@aimeerivera6625]

@@ButtercutBakery I made a mess! Lol i could not coat the bars properly, the bars were falling apart inside the chocolate because the chocolate was too think. I think when it comes to coating bars the chocolate has to be liquidy not thick.

[@ButtercutBakery]

@@aimeerivera6625 working with chocolate is always a mess lol! Have you considered candy melts? Easier to use and don’t require tempering 😊 a brand i suggest would be Stover’s sweet shoppe

[@afarfan04]

If you have chocolate left over, can you reheat to use the rest?

[@ButtercutBakery]

You're gonna have to use the same method, so part of the chocolate will be melted and the other part will be added later in order to temper it ☺️☺️

[@danagray3361]

Can I use any type of chocolate and any brand I have in hand?

[@ButtercutBakery]

Yes!

[@danagray3361]

[@tarikaranjit8618]

What about room temperature. How to maintain it during summer and winter. Do we need air conditioned room

[@ButtercutBakery]

Any chocolate would melt in a hot weather, you can place it in an airtight container away from humidity. If it’s way too hot it would be better to place it in the fridge but make sure you place some paper towels to prevent any humidity coming from the fridge ☺️

[@naijagurlandherpops]

Will a chocolate bar actually melt up like this without being on a stove top at least for a while?

[@ButtercutBakery]

Tempered chocolate would not melt at room temperature. If you are using a chocolate bar to make some kind of chocolate favours, make sure to cut it in small piece and follow the same steps as in the video. I hope I answered your question!

[@naijagurlandherpops]

@@ButtercutBakery oh yes thank you 😊

[@maxmaxer6855]

I just tried this. It came out good ( I think). It set in about 15mins. But when I break it doesn't make the crack sound. It's glossy too

Even tempered, chocolate takes from 15-30 minutes to set 😊
