Is shaking
out excess chocolate from your moulds leaving your work place a mess? Sure, you
have parchment paper to catch the chocolate as it falls, but it probably still
lands in other undesired places. Dennis Witzel with Linnea's Candy Supplies
says a small or medium plastic storage bin can take care of this problem for
less than $10. Simply set the tub on your work table and set your mould upside
down on edges of the tub, so gravity can drain the chocolate. Be sure the bin
has a wide enough opening at the top allowing your mould to easily fit into it.
When you are ready to shake the excess chocolate from your mould, place the
mould into the tub so as you shake it, all of the chocolate that flies out will
land in the tub—not on you, the floor or the table.
