Advice: Tempering naturally wastes 10-15% of material (residues in mixing 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, doesn’t shine, and doesn’t 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.
Lukewarm water and mild hand soap. Gently dry with a soft cloth to avoid scratches on the transparent PET.
Store flat in its original packaging, away from direct light and heat. PET can deform above 60 °C.
Dishwasher, oven, freezing. Rigid PET does not withstand extreme temperature changes.
5 to 10 years with occasional use, provided shocks that scratch the surface (loss of mirror shine) are avoided.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many chocolates can I make at once?
This mold has 2 cavities of about 175 mL each. With one molding, you make 2 chocolates. For professional series use, it is common to use 3-5 identical molds in parallel.
Why PET and not silicone?
Rigid PET is preferred for 3D Easter eggs: it offers exceptional mirror shine after unmolding and allows visual control of molding (transparency). Silicone, being more flexible, is better suited for individual pralines.
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 re-tempering 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) mold perfectly clean and dry, (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.
