Is this pan suitable for cooking real chocolate fudge without burning it?

Very much so! The most delicate candies work out well in it. The heavy bottom assures very even heating.

I haven't made that recipe, so I don't know. I used the recipe that came with the pan for gingerbread cake and it was a light, fluffy cake result. If the fudge recipe is similar to that (doesn't sound like it! LOL) it might work. Either way, REALLY grease the pan and add a light flour coating. Hope it works out!!

Having used the pan, I would recommend that you cook as far from the direct flame as possible. Because of that, I would say to use a high heat setting. The pan does heat evenly so it might actually work.

I myself have not used it for hot fudge. However, I don't see why it wouldn't work. The straw for the pump, as well as the dispenser, has quite a good size opening, and as long as you use really hot water in the unit (which goes in a reservoir under the pot that holds your hot fudge), I think you should be ok.

I've used it to grate bar soap (don't ask) and it worked fine. I'd imagine soap is firmer t than chocolate. Hope that's helpful.

It's possible, but I don't recommend it. It lacks the clip that you'd normally find on a candy thermometer, and the heat burns my hand when trying to use it hand held for this purpose. Also, if you're using gas the heat coming up the side of the pan will met it. I personally use my candy thermometer for candy and use this one for cooking, cappuccino milk, etc.

I have never tried it, but it might work if the chocolate is suppose to be melted at a low degree. Think of the babycakes as a warmer like a fondue pot. You heat it up in the microwave and then the warmer keeps it warm.

No, this pan is not a steamer, it is a double boiler, suitable for melting chocolate and preparing delicate sauces.

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.

I don't believe so, it's made for tempered choc and then in the fridge. It would prob melt in the oven

Naturally non stick. A lot of people has issues with sticking, I made chocolates and they popped right out. .

I'm not sure! I've used this pan for brownies, muffins, and cupcakes using various types of flour and I haven't run into any trouble with sticking or breaking yet. I always grease the pan with oil (normally coconut) and usually let whatever I've made cool for at least 10 minutes before trying to remove it.

Yes. Everything I've baked on it has turned out wonderful! No burned edges or bottom. I highly recommend this pan.

I use this mold strictly for chocolate - sorry I am not able to answer your question.

Absolutely! I've done it many times and it works great! In fact, if I'm using my chocolate fountain for a class party, I usually pre-melt the chocolate in my fondue pot, then pour it into the fountain since there's no stove in the classroom. This chocolate melts to a very smoothe consistency quickly and tastes great. It's been a huge success at several classroom parties and my daughters sleep-over parties.

Hot Fudge will be to thick. It is really made for product with a thinner consistency. I hope this helps.Jackie

Technically the answer is yes but you certainly will need to use some kind of lubricant (butter, oil) or it will stick badly. This is not a non-stick pan so you will always have to use a lubricant to avoid sticking.
