Materials: flour, water, chocolate (cheap chocolate is recommended to practice first) what you want to put what you put
Tools: large pot (recommended frying spoon), small pot (recommended glassware is best to do the kind of chemical experiments), chopsticks, thick gloves, flat plate, refrigerator, exhaust fan or range hood.
1. How to make a mold?
Making a mold is both simple and complex. If you're artistic, this shouldn't be too hard for you, but if you're insulated from art like me, it's best to use an ice box.
The exact method of putting it is as follows:
Materials: flour, water
Looking at the materials you may be able to do it, right? First wash your hands then use water and flour. Then make one or more molds of the shape you want, similar to kneading a noodle man. Be careful not to have too much water, can make the noodle man shape on it, otherwise it will affect the texture of the chocolate, but also do not have dry noodles, otherwise the chocolate on a piece of dry flour is not good. Put it into the freezer (the one for freezing ice cubes) and set aside. Note: It's best to freeze for 30 minutes or more before taking it out and using it.
2. How to melt chocolate?
The way to dissolve chocolate is basically to use fire, so if you have never been in the kitchen, please be careful, empty the combustible materials around the stove, and prepare a pot of water (the purpose is twofold: one is to prevent fires, and the other is to prevent the hot chocolate syrup from being burned by the hot chocolate syrup can be put into the water to soak, to minimize the degree of burns). Of course, if you are very experienced in the kitchen you can not make the above preparations.
Specific method:
Prepare a large pot of boiling water (frying spoon is best, one to save water, two to the mouth of the large,) prepare a caliber than the large pot of small pot (note that the pot must be dry and no water, otherwise it will affect the chocolate taste. A glass container is ideal, but make sure it's big enough to float smoothly on the water.) Let the small pot float on the surface of the water in the large pot do not let the small pot touch the bottom of the pot, be careful to never let the small pot in the water later in the process (even a small drop will make your high-grade chocolate as bad as cocoa butter substitute).
Wait for the water to boil and turn the heat down to a simmer, but not too low to keep it boiling (if the water is low, you can add a little more water). Put in the prepared chocolate, put a thick glove on your secondary hand to prevent burns and hold the pan, and use chopsticks in your primary hand to stir slowly and evenly (if you're a left-hander, then your left hand is the primary hand, and the other one is the secondary hand. The opposite is true for right-handed people). Be careful not to knock the large pot over. After about five to ten minutes the chocolate will have melted and the chocolate won't be mushy this way.
3. How to fill the molds and get them out
This is the step where you pour the chocolate into the molds, which everyone should know how to do. But I will say a few words of caution. Be careful not to pour on the outside of the mold or overflow the mold. The container and the chocolate syrup are at a certain temperature, so be safe and wear gloves. Molds from the refrigerator out of the low temperature, and just melted chocolate when the water boiling air humidity increases, mold surface is easy to condense ha moisture, try to open the hood to reduce indoor temperature and humidity, try to use a mold to take a mold do not take out all at once. After filling the mold will be placed in a small flat plate mold covered with plastic wrap into the freezer to cool down. Five to ten minutes after the mold can be out of the mold, must be careful, if not good out of the words can break the mold, after all, it is the face to do ah. In addition, you can also refer to the above method to make multi-layer sandwich chocolate, but pay attention to the sandwich is not too thick or a piece of chocolate will become two pieces.
If you want to add ingredients to the chocolate, you should try to add them at the end, otherwise it will be easy to change the flavor. If you like to sprinkle some things on the surface of the chocolate (such as gold dust, sesame seeds ......) can be evenly sprinkled in the mold first, out of the mold after the surface of the chocolate is attached. In addition, if there is an odor in the refrigerator that all the process of entering the refrigerator should be on the plastic wrap, otherwise, the taste or feed the cat. Finally said once again safety first, no matter what you do out of the final look of the chocolate, as long as you put your heart to do it, your lover will be well touched. If you do not want to give your him or her a surprise, then you can also you two together, so you can also enhance the feelings of cultivating tacit understanding, but do not fight for this ah, then I can become a thousand sins.
