Werkwijze
Cleaning the moulds
- Clean the (inside of the) molds by removing excess chocolate. Start by (carefully) knocking the mold against the table and then using a plate knife to remove the excess chocolate. Do not go inside with a sharp object. Otherwise, the figure will be damaged.
- If necessary, heat the inside briefly with a heat gun and rub the inside of the molds clean with a paper towel.
- Avoid cleaning products and/or dishwasher!
Filling the moulds
- Have an abundance of tempered chocolate ready.
- If the mold contains fine lines or contours, it can be interesting to “paint” the inside with the desired chocolate with a brush. This way we can be sure that the fine lines will also be filled. Allow to dry briefly.
- Close the jig and attach enough locking clamps.
- Hold the mold upside down and fill completely with chocolate.
- Using an object, give a few taps along the sides in such a way that the chocolate remains evenly distributed.
- Make sure that there is also enough chocolate at the base of the figure.
- After about 10 seconds you can turn the figure over and let the excess chocolate drain. You can use an object to give a few taps along the side to speed up the process.
- Again after about 10 slices, remove the excess chocolate at the bottom and place it on the grid.
- Give the excess chocolate time to drain.
- After 5 to 10 minutes, the chocolate is crystallized and you can remove it from the grid. Using a palette knife, remove the excess chocolate from the foot. Lay the figure flat and put it in the fridge.
Finishing
- Remove the figures from the fridge
- Remove the clips.
- Carefully remove 1 of the 2 plastic parts.
- Fold the remaining plastic part in such a way that the chocolate mold comes loose.
- Remove the 2nd plastic part.
- Carefully remove excess chocolate.
