💑 About Hercules Candy
Hercules Candy has been on Steve’s side of the family since 1910(ish). When he took over in the 70’s, he anticipated after 10 years of hard work, he could move the business out of the basement and into a real storefront. Unfortunately, it took until 2018 for that to happen, but hey at least it happened! Steve and Terry own the shop, Craig (the social media manager) is their son, Cara (wrapper and shipper extraordinaire who is poised to take over the shop one day) is their daughter and Leah (who doesn’t love being on camera and is very elusive) is their oldest daughter. Karen has been working for Hercules Candy since the twins (Craig and Cara) were about 6 months old and everybody else is a new recruit. Don’t forget to subscribe and hit the 🔔 for more videos!

Also in most kitchens the food being touched is cooked so you don’t need to wear gloves for most of that handling since it’s getting cooked. If not cooked you need gloves but then you change them when you’re done bc yeah the outside of the gloves are now dirty.

To save time, could you make a naked Peppermint Patty since it is all being covered with chocolate at the end? Maybe just use the "chocolate glue" like Terry is doing to keep the patties in place before the whole thing is covered by hand? Same with the Peanut Butter Cups. Could you make a naked Peanut Butter Cream instead of using a PB Patty?

I like anything with caramel. Maybe you could use the smaller pretzels dip them in caramel and use the “fixed” enrober to cover in chocolate. I know you would have to throw away all the starch you would use, but could be fun to try when you know you’re getting ready to change your starch over. Too bad you couldn’t crush the pretzels, put some in the molds you use to make your creams. Then cover with Carmel using the cream dropper then cover in chocolate.

Wearing gloves in restaurants actually tends to lead to "dirtier" food, there's been tons of studies on this effect. In essence gloves give the "feeling" of cleanliness, instead of rigorous hand washing protocols. All gloves breed bacteria as good as your hands, but don't wash clean with soap and water the same way your hands do. So if the restaurant wears gloves they need to be more rigorous about constant glove changes then just a handwashing station and regular washings.

@Fitz1993 Жыл бұрын

The thing about wearing gloves and Im surprised the crew don't know this, is that they aren't actually cleaner than bare hands. Gloves aren't inherently clean and studies have shown that wearing gloves cause people to be alot more relaxed about what they touch and how they cross contaminate becuase people forget to change their gloves and will often just assume that they're hands are clean because they're wearing gloves. For example when cooper changed his gloves, upon realising that there was only one glove left in the box he then picked it up and handled the box with both his gloved and ungloved hand, that glove is now contaminated with everything his bare hand has touched and what every other bare hand that has touched it has touched, does it matter though? Assuming everyone cleans their hands, then no probably not. This the same for chefs preparing food in restaurants, gloves are a hinderance to chefs more often than not. You're working with sharp knives, high heat and acids all of which are a bad time when working with gloves on so instead every kitchen is supposed to be fitted with dedicated hand washing stations so that the chefs can constantly wash their hands as they're working. Sorry for the lecture but this is a really important topic in safe food handling practices and there's a lot more to the topic as well.

Well if you're changing your gloves you can easily wash your hands, gloves give people a false sense of clean as you're suppose to wash hands between glove changes and hardly anyone does, which creates a breading ground for bacteria as gloves trap Moisture... Even Cooper didn't do it properly... Took off his old gloves, didn't wash his hands between then He put on a glove, grabbed the empty box with his gloved hand, put on another glove from another box.. And used his gloved hand to roll up his sleeve... Then put his now contaminated gloved hands on the food he was making... Gloves are a false sense of security

SUGGESTION: 18:40 Instead of hand why not use some type of spatula to evenly spread out stuff? And why dont make or buy like some type of drainig like bowl with small draining holes and then use cutler or something to sip the white cocolate in it and it will slowly start draining onto the dark chocolate.No need to waste gloves so mucha d no ned to like use so much physical work just a spatula or flat sqare thingy that chocolate makers use and then use some draining bowl with small holes or you custom make it.Then you have teh needed thing that will not only make less work but be maybe more efficient and slightly faster .
