Italian term

inseminazione del cioccolato

Italian to English Other Cooking / Culinary electrical appliance used to melt chocolate
does anybody know what "inseminazione" is in English?? From what I found it should be the melting of the chocolate and the following addition of more solid chocolate at a higher temperature than tempering (the text I'm translating says you have to let the chocolate cool after the "inseminazione" and reach the necessary temperature for tempering). Searching the web with chocolate and "inseminazione" I only get porn. HELP you chefs!!

seeding (the) chocolate

"Seeding" is a literal synonym for inseminate but it means adding a crystalline material under conditions in which the added material will change the form of the receiving material. For example, clouds are transformed into rain by seeding them with silver iodide crystals.

The crystalline seed material causes all the material to become crystalline. Caution: "insemination" in English has a more sexual connotation than "seeding."

tempering chocolate for insemination

How to temper the chocolate for insemination

Melt the chocolate at 45° - 50° and add about one third of solid chocolate.
Stir until completely dissolved.
In this way it will reach the pre-crystallization temperature.
If they remain in suspension of the pieces of chocolate slightly heating in microwave or with the aid of a thermal dryer to avoid a surcristallizzazione of the entire mass.

neutral mrrafe : The decosil.eu reference should say "temper BY insemination" or "by seeding." Insemination/seeding is the method of tempering.
