pOLYCARBONATE MOLDS USE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Maintaining the pristine quality of your chocolate creations begins with the proper care of your polycarbonate chocolate molds. Proper cleaning not only ensures the longevity of these molds but also guarantees the flawless production of your exquisite chocolates

Several considerations must be taken into careful account to prevent insufficiently cleaned or damaged molds, which might result in potential cracking or scratching.

Before Use:

1. Cleaning: Wash the polycarbonate chocolate molds thoroughly with warm, soapy water before the first use. Make sure you are using non corrosive detergents. Rinse and dry completely with a warm air blower or a soft non-abrasive cloth.

Using the Molds:

1. Tempering: Ensure that the chocolate is properly tempered according to the recipe or recommended guidelines. Properly tempered chocolate ensures a glossy finish and easy release from the molds.
2. Filling the Molds: Fill the molds with tempered chocolate using a spoon, spatula, or piping bag. Avoid overfilling; excess chocolate can make it difficult to release the chocolates cleanly.
3. Tapping and Smoothing: Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove air bubbles and ensure the chocolate settles evenly. Use a spatula or bench scraper to scrape excess chocolate off the top of the molds for a clean edge.
4. Setting: Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or as per your recipe's instructions. Avoid sudden temperature changes, which can cause the chocolate to crack or lose its shine.

Demolding and Cleaning:

1. Demolding: Once the chocolate has set completely, gently flex or tap the mold to release the chocolates. Avoid using sharp objects that could damage the molds.
2. Cleaning after Use: Remove excess chocolate using a palette knife or knife, remove as much of the excess chocolate that may still be present on the molds.Hand wash the molds with mild detergent and lukewarm water immediately after use. Use a soft sponge remove any residue. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that could scratch the molds.
3. Drying: Dry the molds thoroughly with a soft cloth or allow them to air dry completely before storing.

Storage:

1. Storing the Molds: Store the cleaned and completely dried molds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Stack molds carefully to prevent scratching.
2. Avoiding Odors: To prevent absorbing odors, store the molds away from strong-smelling items or use airtight containers.

Additional Tips:

1. Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not expose the polycarbonate molds to extreme temperatures, such as direct heat or freezing, as it could damage them.
2. Avoid Abrasive Materials: Use only soft materials like sponge or cloth to clean the molds. Abrasive materials can scratch and damage the surface, affecting the quality of your chocolates.

Always refer to the manufacturer's specific instructions or guidelines for your polycarbonate chocolate molds for any additional care or usage details.
