Question

How much cooking oil do you need to use?

Community Answer

The guide did say "1 cup of vegetable or canola oil per 5 pounds (2.3 kg)"; however I would use coco butter instead as that is the fat found in the chocolate, and and using it won't introduce new or foreign flavors.

Question

Is it possible to collect the chocolate that's not used and reuse it for another session?

Community Answer

Yes, the chocolate will be fine after removing it from the fountain. Keep it in a microwave-safe bowl (with lid) so you can easily reheat it. You do not need to put it into the fountain to reuse it.

How many chocolate bars should I use for this?

It usually as to be 900 grams chocolate for small fountain in order to work properly. You can’t use any chocolate bar either. It has to be made for fountain and you can buy them in packs.

Question

Where can I find a reasonably priced chocolate fountain?

Community Answer

In Australia, Kmart has them for $20 but it doesn't come with chocolate. It also has instructions so you can read them if you didn't understand the steps on this website. Similar stores likely to have them include Target, Walmart, Amazon, eBay, any appliances store, etc.
