Baker's , Unsweetened Chocolate, 4 Oz

Product Information

Modern manufactured baking chocolate is typically formed from chocolate liquor formed into bars or chocolate chips. [3] Baking chocolate may be of a lower quality compared to other types of chocolate, and may have part of the cocoa butter replaced with other fats that do not require tempering. [2] This type of baking chocolate may be easier to handle compared to those that have not had their cocoa butter content lowered. [2] Varieties [ edit ] Has less sugar than sweet varieties. In Europe, a regulation exists stating that semisweet varieties must contain more sugar and less chocolate liquor compared to bittersweet varieties. No such regulation exists in the United States, and due to this, semisweet and bittersweet varieties can vary in sweetness and chocolate liquor content. In the U.S., bittersweet varieties are even sometimes sweeter than semisweet varieties. level tablespoons unsweetened cocoa and 1 tablespoon butter, margarine or shortening for every 1-ounce unsweetened baking chocolate, or

Yes, you can melt chocolate directly in a saucepan on the stovetop.

Not too cakey, not too fudgy, with a thin crispy crust and extra chewy edges.The logo of the chocolate server, called La Belle Chocolatière, was adopted in 1883 after a painting by the Swiss artist Jean-Étienne Liotard called Das Schokoladenmädchen, which can be found at the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister (art gallery) in Dresden, Germany. The story of the Schokoladenmädchen is not as clear-cut as published in the recipe pamphlet-book Choice Recipes from 1913. The painting was done in the 1740s at the Vienna court of the Austrian Kaiserin Maria Theresia at a time when Jean-Etienne Liotard had been commissioned to paint both the Kaiser and Kaiserin (empress and emperor). It is said that the model of the Schokoladenmädchen was one of the young ladies at court whose beauty led Liotard to put it on a canvas.

By 1995, Walter Baker & Company was incorporated into Kraft Foods. There is a romance connected with the charming Viennese girl who served as the model, which is well worth telling. One of the leading journals of Vienna has thrown some light on the Baltauf, or Baldauf, family to which the subject of Liotard's painting belonged. Anna, or Annerl, as she was called by friends and relatives, was the daughter of Melchior Baltauf, a knight, who was living in Vienna in 1760, when Liotard was in that city making portraits of some members of the Austrian Court. It is not clear whether Anna was earning her living as a chocolate bearer at that time or whether she posed as a society belle in that becoming costume; but, be that as it may, her beauty won the love of a prince of the Empire, whose name, Dietrichstein, is known now only because he married the charming girl who was immortalized by a great artist. The marriage caused a great deal of talk in Austrian society at the time, and many different stories have been told about it. The prejudices of caste have always been very strong in Vienna, and a daughter of a knight, even if well-to-do, was not considered a suitable match for a member of the court. It is said that on the wedding day Anna invited the chocolate bearers with whom she had worked or played, and in "sportive joy at her own elevation" offered her hand to them saying, " Behold! now that I am a princess you may kiss my hand." She was probably about twenty years of age when the portrait was painted in 1760, and she lived until 1825..." [5]

Here is where things can get a little confusing. While the FDA mandates bittersweet and semisweet chocolate contains at least 35% pure chocolate (cacao), it doesn’t specify what that percentage must be. In general, the higher the percentage, the less sweet the chocolate. It seems counterintuitive, but since chocolate in its natural form isn’t sweet, this actually makes perfect sense. Chocolate labeled 60 or 72% cocoa is often referred to as bittersweet. It’s great for eating by itself or baked into some delicious chocolate recipes.

Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to gently simmer. (Do not let it come to a rapid boil—that’s too hot!) Pour over chocolate, then let it sit for 2–3 minutes to gently soften the chocolate. As you explore, keep in mind that few milk chocolates can be a one-size-fits-all ingredient for every recipe—a bar that's too sweet to enjoy on its own may be perfect for an unsweetened ganache frosting or a bitter chocolate cookie, while one that's too lean for tempering may be spot-on in a richer cookie. As you taste your way through new varieties, try to imagine how the specific qualities of a given brand can be used as a counterpoint in desserts that are salty, bitter, bold, or otherwise in need of the creamy sweetness of milk chocolate.

After that roasting, however, the shells are removed from the dried cacao beans which leaves the cocoa nib. The nib is what you need for chocolate! Well not YOU but the chocolatemakers. These nibs are what are ground into chocolate liquor. Chocolate liquor can be sold as such, also known as “baking chocolate” (more on baking chocolate below!) orprocessed further to separate the fat (cocoa butter)and eventually become cocoa powder.

The company was sold in 1896, following the death of Pierce, to the Forbes Syndicate. They greatly expanded the factory, adding the Powder House, the Ware Mill, the Preston Mill, the Forbes Mill, and the Baker Administrative Building over the next thirty years. The Forbes Syndicate advertised Baker's chocolate in magazines such as the Youth Companion, Booklovers' Magazine, Red Book Magazine, and Liberty.If you’re melting chocolate to stir into a batter or dough, like in Flourless Chocolate Nut Cake, there’s no need to worry about tempering. But if you’re using the chocolate for dipping, such as with these Chocolate-Dipped Rye Palmiers, you may want to temper your melted chocolate to ensure a stunning appearance. (This step is already called for in the recipe itself!) To learn more, see our basic guide to tempering chocolate. Which relates to my second criterion: How many dishes do I have to wash? Because if there’s a method that takes a minute longer but results in fewer dishes, I’m going to choose that one every time. Cf.
