achieve this product temperature the digital control on Gold Medal’s Fudge Machine
should be set at 185°F.
*It is important to note
that due to variations in your
electrical current, as well as what type of fudge you are making and what type of
inclusions or add-ins you may be using, optimum product temperatures may be
slightly higher or slightly lower than 160 degrees. Thus, using a candy thermometer
to check actual product temperature plus a well trained and experienced eye (to know
when it has been ‘whipped’) is critical to achieving the best result possible.
Turn unit OFF to insert or remove thermometer to measure product temperature.
7.
Once the fudge is cooked to desired texture, remove thermometer, then move the
kettle to a half-tilt position. This allows the fudge to work its way to the bottom
portion of the kettle for dumping.
8.
Turn the Heat/Motor Switch OFF. It is best to stop the unit when the paddle is in a
vertical position; this allows the fudge to flow easier from the kettle when dumped.
Note:
If the paddle is stopped in a horizontal position, it can hold back the product
flow when dumped, and prevent maximum product removal.
9.
Dump the kettle to pour fudge into a parchment lined pan; scrape the bottom and
sides of the kettle and the paddle with the spatula.
10.
Smooth the fudge in the pan with the spatula and loosely cover with parchment paper
(or similar item) to prevent drying out, yet still allow fudge to cool without forming
condensation.
Cooling time will range from 4 hours minimum, to preferably overnight. DO NOT
refrigerate the fudge; it can cause it to dry out.
11.
Once cool, carefully hold a tray to the pan of fudge, then flip pan over to remove fudge.
Peel off parchment paper. Cut and serve fudge to suit.
Do not pre-cut or score fudge, as this will cause the edges to become dry and brittle.
Only put in an airtight container once it has cooled to room temperature. Store fudge
at room temperature.
