Using an airbrush to apply colored cocoa butter
to your chocolate moulds can help create a dramatic effect. But if you are
using several colors at once, it may seem like a juggling act to keep them all
in proper temper.
RCI member, Brian Donaghy with Tomric Systems, Inc, says although colored cocoa butter usually arrives tempered, it is important to heat it slowly and then hold the cocoa butter in a 90℉ environment. Brian recommends using a yogurt maker to retain the temperature over time and help ensure the cocoa butter doesn't lose temper.

With lots of options available online, most ranging in price from $29-$60, this piece of equipment could prevent your airbrushed chocolates from having a dull finish or sticking to the moulds.
