Hi
If you want to learn more, please visit our website.
I’m at the moment where I need to choose what mold I will use for my pralines and I need advice. I will mostly use high quality chocolate (70%) for ganache filled pralines. I know how to make the ganache. But I need to know what mold suites me.
My options are chocoflex (pavoni) Magnetic (pavoni) or hard plastic from chocolate world pavoni and Martello.
I will probably not be making a lot right away, but maybe in the future. Obviously price is kind of an issue, living in South America the molds are a bit more pricy than in the States. The chocoflex are 150 USD , the magnetic 100 USD and the hard plastic 55 USD.
Are some molds easier to get the shells out of?
Are some molds for expert use?
Please give me some advice
I'd say to start go for the polycarbonate molds like the ones from Martello or Chocolate World. You can probably purchase them for a lot less than $55 US especially if you are willing to purchase used molds. On e-bay you can purchase from a vendor such as laboutiqueduchocolatier in belgium - here is a sample of his wares. His molds will cost $12 or $15 US, plus the cost of shipping. His english leaves a bit to be desired - but I've bought lots of molds from him before and he'll ship anywhere.
Magnetic molds might be the next thing to move up to, after getting comfortable with the regular polycarbonate molds. You'll need transfer sheets or texture sheets to accompany them, or make your own.
The chocoflex molds are more useful for shaping ganache into something you will them dip or enrobe in some way.
Oh, and welcome to eG!

Edited September 25, by Kerry Beal (log)I think magnetic molds are easier in one big way - if you temper poorly, you can always poke out your chocolates.
They will never get stuck, no matter how inexperienced you are.
They are harder in a few ways. One, the magnetic molds I have are smaller, so piping ganache is harder.
Two, the cavities are further apart, so making shells and backing them is harder.
