Tempering chocolate for this mold
Tempering crystallizes the cocoa butter into a stable form. Without tempering, chocolate turns white, loses its shine, and does not unmold properly.
| Dark 60-72% | Melt at 50-55 °C, cool to 28-29 °C, work at 31-32 °C |
|---|---|
| Milk 30-40% | Melt at 45-50 °C, cool to 27-28 °C, work at 29-30 °C |
| White / Inspiration | Melt at 40-45 °C, cool to 26-27 °C, work at 28-29 °C |

Make your mold last ten years
A Silikomart mold is a long-lasting investment. Here’s how to preserve its qualities over the years.
- First use: wash with warm, soapy water and dry. No need to grease it; Silikomart silicone is naturally non-stick.
- Routine cleaning: warm water and mild soap, or dishwasher (top rack). Avoid abrasive sponges, which weaken the silicone.
- Storage: lay flat or roll without tight creases, away from direct heat and dust, ideally in a closed box.
- Lifespan: ten years or more if properly cared for. Signs of wear: ingrained grease stains, loss of elasticity, permanent deformation.

Frequently asked questions
Your questions, our advice
How many chocolates can I make at once?
This mold has 12 cavities of approximately 9 ml each. So one batch makes 12 chocolates. For professional batch production, it's common to use 3 to 5 identical molds at once.
Should I grease the silicone mold before use?
No. Silikomart silicone is naturally non-stick. Tempering your chocolate correctly is enough for easy release. Greasing the mold would leave greasy marks on the chocolate's surface.
Why does my chocolate bloom after crystallization?
Blooming indicates failed tempering: either the chocolate was heated too much (above 55 °C), or it was not cooled enough. The taste is not affected, but the shine and snap are lost. Remelting and retempering will fix the problem.
Can I use Candy Melts instead of chocolate?
Yes. Candy Melts (Wilton, FunCakes, 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 do you achieve a mirror finish on chocolates?
Three keys: precise tempering at the temperatures shown in the table above, a perfectly clean and dry mold, and crystallization at a stable room temperature (18-20 °C), not in the refrigerator, where condensation can cause spots.
