Yes, if you are using unsweetened baking chocolate squares; however, the best substitution I've found for liquid baking chocolate is to mix cocoa powder with oil (I have found that coconut oil or melted shortening works best, or a mix of the two). 1 packet of liquid baking chocolate = 3 level Tbsp. of cocoa + 1 Tbsp. of oil/shortening = 1 oz. square of unsweetened baking chocolate

They have to be removed prior to using. If not they will melt I speak from experience!

I haven't tried the chocolate yet. Sorry I don't know, but the blade looks like you could if the piece is thick enough.

It has recipe s in their book that comes with the fondue pot. And yes you can melt the chocolate in the pot. but first you need to warm some cream and then add the chocolate to it. The chocolate did not need to be melted first.

If you mean to use the mold for chocolate, you have to add little amount of shortining to chocolate while melting. But if you use it for fondant or sugar paste, it won't break.

Thay would be problematic. Just put the whole thing in freezer. Freeze the top separately and when the frozen dessert is done, put in immediately cover and freeze.

Absolutely! I store my leftover melted chocolate in them in the fridge all the time! Extremely durable!

I used it to make Salted Whiskey Carmles. It worked ok. It doesn't melt at high temps, which is good but it does dispurse heat quickly. Which can be bad if you have something in it that cools quickly, like Carmles. If your chocolate will stay liquid for a while this would work just fine.

Yes, you should be able to use this in melted chocolate. I'm not sure about the chemistry behind it, but it shouldn't seize. I use my emulsions in a mixture of 1/2 cup cacao powder, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 3 T. pure maple syrup and 1 tsp. emulsion of choice. I stir with a whisk until well blended, pour into chocolate molds, chill 30 minutes and it's perfect. Good Luck!!

I would think so. The funny coloring people associate with freezing chocolate is a result of either Fat Bloom (when the fat separates a little) and/or sugar bloom (where the sugar separates a little). This happens in whole chocolate, but this is Cocoa Butter not whole chocolate. As the fat is Alone it can't separate, and there is no sugar- so no fat or sugar bloom possible.

yes it is, but i'm not sure if all the details will come out when you bake it. the directions are weird. they tell you to use melted chocolate. ??? I never did use it.

Yes u can. That is the kind that I use in mine. It just might take a little longer to melt but once it is melted, all is well.

I don't use a microwave oven to melt chocolate it is to easy to burn the chocolateI use the Wilton Chocolate Pro Electric Melting Pot that is available on Amazon

Yes. This is a perfect melting chocolate. It maintains its gloss after it hardens. When using for truffles it is probably a good idea to let it begin to cool just slightly before dipping the truffle into the chocolate. The truffle might begin to soften if the chocolate is too hot.

Id say NO, but I haven't tried to melt it that way. I think it needs a slow melt down. But contact the seller, he will answer all your quastions

I do not microwave the bars or anything else. The wrapping on the bars is a type of foil, I would not nuke it!!
