Thank you so much for creating this channel. It is exactly the type of content I was looking for. You do a wonderful job of explaining concepts in a concise, informative manner. I’m someone who prefers reading a quick article to watching a long video, but you’re so entertaining and educational I prefer your videos over articles online. I really enjoy your explanation of the chemistry most of all. I hope you keep this channel up and continue uploading videos when you can. If there was any way I could donate - even $5 - I’d be happy to.

I disagree that only the sugar is absorbing water...from experience as a pastry chef, unsweetened chocolate will also seize/thickened. It is my understanding that the cocoa solids are also absorbing water, swelling in size and by thus not moving freely in the cocoa butter.

And i'm so glad i found you because im currently a pastry student and quite behind in class because i cant grasp the informations fast and complete enough to understand these scientific infos about what we're doing! Your tempering chocolate video helped me to grasp the science of it tremendously 😭 thank youuuu

Dude your channel is great, as an engineering student I was only able to get tempering trough your help, keep on making more videos! I also have a suggestion, why don't you make a video showing chocolate made with ONLY crystal from each one of the phases, I know it wont be easy, I tried myself and did some phase I/II/III mix "white" clocolates using the freezer, but would be very cool to see the same batch of chocolate, just cooled to form each one of the phases individually, I was unavailable to find something like that here on KZitem :P I bet you can make a phase I only with liquid nitrogen or even just really cool water, liquid nitrogen would be a little bit overkill but way funnier :P The complicated part I think would be to get it to solidify before the higher phases start to nucleate, good luck if you ever try, I might try myself if you have any suggestions for me, but I probably won't have the right tools.

Hi Ming, Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge about chocolate in terms of science aspect, which is really useful. As a chocolate lover, I sometimes do it at home and caught some problem like the below items: - Sugar bloom/Fat bloom. - Not good snapping property. - Viscosity is not controllable or adjustable. (I read some information about shear stress, shear rate, yield value but not fully understood) Could you explain the scientific mechanism of the above mentioned? Do we have any solution for those? Again, highly appreciated your helpful videos!

Okay, i learned a lot from this, especially the process of seizing, that i have been seeking for a long time. But, as a chemistry student (from France), and also a "sunday craft chocolate maker" (buying beans and transforming them into chocolate, with melangers, marble tempering...), I wonder what happens without any lecitin. I've heard that on of the glycerides form the cocoa butter, in it's type V form, allows to make a stable crystal structure. Is that true ? Also, this video would mean that he only way to fix seized chocolate is to make kind of a ganache ? Is there really no other way ? As liquids such as cream definitely inhibits tempering, we would not be able to make chocolate bars, or enrobe bonbons (or even form a stable crystal structure with cocoa butter) again with this technique. i have seen someone fixing seizing by adding butter. Even if this wouldn't work as an alternative to temperable chocolate, how does that work, as we incorporate hydropobic molecules onto the seized chocolate, this time ? How does molecules as lauric acid (in coconut milk, for example) can come to inhibit tempering ? Eventually, I want to thank you for this aweresome content. I would love to work on this kind of themathics.
