The idea of tempering chocolate may seem daunting, but I promise you it's not as hard as it looks! Especially when using the microwave method which I will be demonstrating to you all in this video! The key thing is making sure the temperatures are correct, which I'll post below for reference. As a bonus, I have also included the traditional seeding method for tempering chocolate incase the microwave method goes wrong! The seeing method is a really easy way to fix overheated chocolate that is out of temper, so don't worry if your chocolate becomes too hot in the microwave! :)
Tempering temperatures:
Dark Chocolate: 88-90 degrees Fahrenheit (31-32 C)
Milk Chocolate: 85-87 degrees Fahrenheit (29-30 C)
White Chocolate: 82 - 84 degrees Fahrenheit (27-28 C)

Thanks Sheri! Hope this tutorial helps and that next time it's a success :D

Hi MK thanks for the video so just to make sure I understood correctly 1 - stop microwaving as soon as there are some unmelted bits and continue to stir till all melts 2 - check the temperature, whether working with milk, dark or white chocolate the temp must be below 90F (does not need to be a specific number just needs to be below 90) 3 - do a test to be sure before proceeding to use the chocolate?

Some people swear by the sous-vide methods...but those aren't for home chefs! I love this method and the double boiler! Thanks for sharing!!

I’ve always been so intrigued by chocolate tempering. Such an interesting and complex process if you look at it from a moleculair level 😍

@QtLindaa 2 года назад

So your saying we only need to temper the chocolate to a certain temperature and it's tempered? So confused as I thought we had to do the seeing method all the time? To heat to a certain temp and bring it down to a certain temp, with continuous stirring and adding chocolate. So I've been doing the extra steps for no reason? 😩 I was told white chocolate heat up so it's 43 c and bring it down to 29-30c using the seeding method and continuous stirring

@CakesbyMK 2 года назад

Hi there! Yes so if the chocolate you have bought from say the grocery store is already tempered (which most of them are), then technically if you don't bring it above a certain temperature then you won't break the temper :) but if you accidentally overheat it then yes you will need to use the seeding method. Hope that clarifies things!

@dianecotton9531 2 года назад

Hi, this is the third video I have watched on this method and nobody ever mentions what POWER the microwave is on. I am thinking that 30 seconds at full power in my micro would burn the chocolate.

@CakesbyMK 2 года назад

Hi Diane! My microwave was at the standard setting which I think is full power. If you think your microwave will be too hot, then reduce the time to 15 seconds and keep checking the temperature of the chocolate to see how fast it's heating up/melting. If it's a bit slow then you'll know to increase the time a little :)

Why on earth Farenheit. We dont use fareheit in Australia and New zealand???

@CakesbyMK 2 года назад

Hi there! Have added in the Celsius temps in the description box. I'm starting to unintentionally change between F and C lol as most of my viewers are from other parts of the world so they often ask me questions in their own metric! :)
