Kuan I use upside down baguette pans to form tuilles. I found a ice cream cone electric machine at Goodwill and loaned to it a cheffy friend who was into making various flavored cones for aps.....I've not been in to try them but sounded interesting.

Default Hi

Hi Suzanne. It's good to see you too! I still come in and read now and then. It's still a great place to visit and learn I do miss a lot of the old members, but there are many very nice new people.

Something with a lever that you can manually break up a block of chocolate instead of repeatedly dropping it on the floor!

Thank goodness they invented pastilles, but not all choc. comes that way!

momoreg,
What do you use now? Maybe you can find a metal worker. Bring them a serrated knife and they can make holes in the tip of the blade to hinge it to a base and voila, it becomes a lever.

mudbug, I think it need to be stronger than your average knife, with a very strong hinge. Kinda like a paper cutter, but stronger. An added bonus would be uniform size chunks of choc.
