      No, a melanger is the better option. IMO whether it is a splurge or not is your intent and goals.

For making chocolate, I would classify the melanger as the necessary equipment ($500) and a ball mill and separate conche ($5000 or more) the splurge. Is an oven a splurge to a baker?

    I'm a hairdresser. During the lockdown, I saw many video tutorials on RUclips on cutting men's hair at home with clippers. 100% of the methods were bollocks and the results shown in the videos also looked bollocks. I feel you 100%. However, the presentation and language that you used are very condescending. I just hope that you can find the value of what other people do and what extra value you can provide if people want to dig deeper from there, rather than claiming what people do isn't chocolate. I see your passion, but passion can be harmful if misdirected. You could have said, 'It's homemade chocolate a hundred years ago.' 'It's fun for family bonding with kids.' 'It's a good starting point with low investment.' 'I enjoyed making it, and now I appreciate more on how far chocolatiers have advanced through the years.' 'There are many ways to improve the texture, check out my other videos to see those methods.' 'I'll make a few videos of my take on this recipe to see to improve the shortcomings I addressed. So hit subscribe and notification bell to make sure you don't miss them when they drop.' Those sound a lot more welcoming than what you said but still made the same points. People who can know the difference will start their journey, just be there and make it easier for them. There are people who can never tell. They just buy whatever from Walmart anyway, bashing them won't make them change. It's their money too, respect their freedom.

    Just an observation. I'm old-school when it comes to cooking and thickening soup and sauces. You never add just flour or a starch without mixing it with water first before adding it to a liquid soup otherwise you end up with clumps. I was curious why you added powdered sugar to the melted oil without mixing it with water first. You may have to add a wee bit of lecithin(liquid) so the oil and water will emulsify. In one of your other videos you indicated adding a little bit of lecithin to the machine along with the ingredients while making chocolate therefore, I know you're familiar with this concept.

    • @HowToMakeChocolateAtHome
      @HowToMakeChocolateAtHome 4 месяца назад

      If you add water to this it will seize the chocolate. I guess that is the answer as to why I didn't add sugar to water. If I did it would no longer be chocolate, but a chocolate ganache. Chocolate is a non-Newtonian fluid, not an emulsion. Ganache is an emulsion. Does that clarify it?

    Everything you talk about in this video is (almost) exactly what I experienced when I played with making chocolate at home over 10 years ago. That was my first real-life, hands-on lesson that NO you can't dissolve sugar in fat. Sugar will never, ever, ever dissolve in fat no matter how much I want it to! I knew that sugar was water soluble but it just never occurred to me that when a substance is water soluble I can pretty much be assured that it is NOT also fat soluble. Oh... and I learned that... NO I can't add liquid milk to chocolate and expect it to temper. And... NO I can't allow even ONE MOLECULE of H2O to get into the chocolate and expect snappy chocolate. What I did learn is that out of dozens of tries at making a homemade smooth, silky, shiny chocolate bar that snaps at room temperature... I was successful ONE TIME! But I didn't take good notes and I couldn't duplicate my success.😢 Learning about the science of chocolate at home is FUN and if anyone out there has kids and wants to show them the most fun and delicious way to learn about chemistry, I highly recommend you take up chocolate making! PS: I love your videos. Very well done and professional. PPS: You are right though and, even when successful at making a smooth, silky, shiny chocolate bar that snaps at room temperature using the ingredients you describe, it will not have the taste and texture of refined, luxurious, professionally made chocolate. It was good but it wasn't THAT good! PPPS: I also read a book about the chemistry of chocolate AFTER I started my chocolate-making adventure and was blown away by what I didn't know about the mysteries of chocolate...
