Advice: Tempering naturally wastes 10-15% of material (residues in bowl + spatula). Always prepare a little more than the exact amount.

4Express tempering - the 3 curves
Tempering crystallizes cocoa butter into a stable form. Without tempering, chocolate whitens, loses shine, and does not release properly.
| Chocolate | 1. Melting | 2. Cooling | 3. Reheat (work) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark 60-72% | 50-55 °C | 28-29 °C | 31-32 °C |
| Milk 30-40% | 45-50 °C | 27-28 °C | 29-30 °C |
| White / Inspiration | 40-45 °C | 26-27 °C | 28-29 °C |
Tip: To simplify, use the "Mycryo" method (Valrhona cocoa butter powder): melt at 40-45 °C, add 1% Mycryo at 34-35 °C, mix. Express tempering without complex curves.

6Make your mold last 10 years
A Silikomart mold is a durable investment. Here's how to preserve its qualities over the years.
Wash with warm soapy water, dry. No need to grease: Silikomart silicone is naturally non-stick.
Warm water and mild soap, or dishwasher (top rack). Avoid abrasive sponges that weaken the silicone.
Flat or rolled without tight folds, protected from direct heat and dust. Ideally in a closed box.
10 years and more if well maintained. Signs of wear: ingrained greasy stains, loss of elasticity, permanent deformations.

Frequently asked questions
How many chocolates can I make at once?
This mold has 8 cavities of about 15 mL each. With one molding, you make 8 chocolates. For professional batch use, it is common to use 3-5 identical molds in parallel.
Should I grease the silicone mold before use?
No. Silikomart silicone is naturally non-stick. Properly tempering your chocolate is enough for perfect unmolding. Greasing would create greasy marks on the chocolate surface.
Why does my chocolate bloom after crystallization?
Blooming (efflorescence) indicates a failed tempering: either the melting was too hot (>55 °C), or the cooling was insufficient. The taste is not affected, but the shine and snap are lost. Remelting and retempering corrects the defect.
Can I use Candy Melts or Deco Melts instead of chocolate?
Yes, absolutely. Candy Melts (Wilton, Fun Cakes, PME Cake) are designed to melt without tempering and are an excellent alternative for beginners or children. The result will be slightly less shiny than with tempered chocolate.
How to achieve a mirror finish on chocolates?
Three keys: (1) precise tempering at the temperatures in the table above, (2) perfectly clean and dry mold, (3) crystallization at stable room temperature (18-20 °C), not in the refrigerator (condensation causes spots).
Note: For a perfect unmolding on the first try, keep your mold flat at room temperature before use. A mold that is too cold (just out of the fridge) creates a thermal shock with the tempered chocolate.
