I want to use this for making small batches of chocolate. Would this be good for this process and would it run for a few hours?

This is a wet grinder and is used to grind soaked rice and soaked black gram to make a batter. We usually run it for 1-2 hours and not more than that.

I am not sure if this will work with chocolate. And the machine gets hot if it runs for too long or is worked too hard. The tasks i use it for are done in 20 min

Would you let me know if you found a grinder that can conch chocolate? I used to do it in a 500 lb grinder but I need a little one now for my home

We use it for chocolate and it does fantastic! And it's easy to clean too! My son just used it to teach a chocolate class and it all went a lot smoother with the silicone! And with my small kitchen, it's perfect!

Once the machine is hot it shouldn't take long. You may want another person ready to go with the cones and candy so you're ready as soon as one batch gets done. You should be able to do one serving every 3-4 minutes once you get going and as long as you have everything ready.

On its own it will run for 8 hours. It is simple to interrupt this though, just open the lid. I do it all the time.

depends on how thick your chocolate is and how many cakes your topping with a drizzle.it is.not good for frosting. and if your chocolate is thin you have to move very fast.i find it good for drizzling four cakes but not for one.for one cake use i serving spoon.it saves time on clean up. it is great for filling cup cake tins regular or mini

Good Morning, As you can see I purchased this just a week or so ago. The day it arrived I used it for 3 hours to pure my pumpkin for pies and had not one issue. I am unsure of what the problems are but just let the receiver of the gift know if something should go wrong to let you know!

Hi- I just had this fountain at a two-day Bridal and Wedding Show and had it going continuously for 6 - 7 hours each day. It worked great! I just microwaved the chocolate/oil mixture in the crock part of the crock pot, and transported it to the Show that way. I was able to take it home after the first day and just throw it in the dishwasher. I used less than 10lbs of chocolate between the two days, and never ran out. It was quite a draw - especially for the little girls who were modeling Wedding attire. They loved poking little marshmallows with toothpicks and getting them all drippy with the chocolate. Awesome!

I've had it going for a little over 2 hours - it really depends on how much you thin the chocolate.

The "stir" button does not run continuously. It only runs while your finger is on it, so you'd need to stand there holding it to constantly stir. For things like fudge this wouldn't work. For something that just can't burn, I would imagine you'll be totally fine as this doesn't burn stuff as long as there is a liquid in it :)

I use mine almost exclusively to make low-fat frozen yogurt. It works very well. The key is to make sure all your ingredients are cold before you put them in the machine (including ingredients, like fruit, that you add near the end). The yogurt is pretty solid after about 30 minutes. I've been very pleased with this machine.

Oh yes. That is what this mold is made for. It worked beautifully for my chocolates. Just be sure to chill mold about 15-20 minutes before trying to unmold, otherwise the chocolate will break apart or will not release very well. Hope this helps.

Yes! I used them after we did the chocolate bricks for jello and it worked fine. Just let the jello cool a bit so it's not boiling hot when you pour it in. But not too long. ..a couple minutes tops.

We had one at a church gathering with ~100 people. It started to sputter (running low on chocolate) after at least an hour's use (prob closer to 1 1/2 hrs). It was in continuous use the first 45 minutes, and still was quite busy after that. Made me come looking for one (It was a Rival).

Hi, Stephanie,Let me start by encouraging you to buy something else. Anything else. This is a flimsy, cheap tool that I regret having bought. I bought it to use as an accessory for fondue dinner parties. I used it just once and it is stored somewhere.But, back to your question. It did maintain the temperature for chocolates (milk and hazelnut chocs) but it took a long time to come up to temperature. If memory serves, I plugged it in about 30 minutes before the dinner and it was not quite up to temperature at desert. By time of cleanup, the temperature was OK and the remaining chocolate was just right.As a novelty, go for it. But as an ongoing usable appliance, forget it.Jay Hi, Stephanie,Let me start by encouraging you to buy something else. Anything else. This is a flimsy, cheap tool that I regret having bought.

After making it? Only a few hours. Once you have made the brew, it's best to use it as soon as possible.

I've found I can make a couple of cones and then I have to clean the candy build up. I can do about 15 in an hour that way. I make the. In advance if I need very many, but def not a large production machine.

We have used this when doing chicken, and deer. We have sealed for several hours already and have had no issues I think we had it running for about 2 hours and still worked great the next time, you just need to be careful that there isn't much liquid in if you are just doing the bags. We love ours and have used it a lot and it works great.
