I've been trying to look for what the min/max amount of chocolate the EZTemper can temper but am having no luck finding any numbers. Does anyone here know? Thanks.

Hi Jenna. The EZTemper doesn't temper chocolate itself. It creates crystallized cocoa butter ('silk') that can be mixed with melted chocolate to temper it.
From the EZTemper website, it looks like it can generate 150g of silk per batch. Each batch may take up to 12 hours. The site also says that it takes between 0.1 and 1 percent of silk to temper chocolate. So, that would mean that each 150g batch of silk could temper somewhere between 15 and 150 kilos of chocolate. If I remember correctly though, I think most people use between .5 and 1 percent silk, so that would be 15-30 kilos of chocolate.

You place your cocoa butter in small metal jars, which hold 150g. The jars go inside the EZ Temper unit and in 24 hours, you have cocoa butter silk. The unit ships with 2 jars. I believe you can fit at least 4 jars in the unit. That would be 600g of silk. There is nothing magical about the supplied jars. You could also use your own larger jars that hold more cocoa butter as well.

I have to agree with Chip, using a sous vide works great at a much lower cost.
