Know before you buy
Each cavity holds approximately 50 grams of chocolate, making it ideal for standard-sized artisanal bars.
Yes, this mold is versatile enough for hard candy and various craft projects, provided the material is compatible with food-grade polycarbonate.
No, hand washing is recommended to maintain the high-gloss finish and prevent potential warping or scratching of the polycarbonate surface.
Polycarbonate is rigid, which is essential for achieving a professional, high-gloss shine and ensuring the chocolate snaps cleanly. The transparency also allows you to see if there are any air bubbles or un-tempered spots before the chocolate fully sets.
If your chocolate is properly tempered, it will naturally contract as it cools, allowing the bars to release easily from the mold without the need for grease or sprays.
