A MYTH-busting quest to create a working chocolate teapot has been successful after York chocolatiers and scientists joined forces for the challenge.
Science TV presenter Marty Jopson from BBC1’s The One Show, has a love of inventions – and next on his list was to attempt to disprove the familiar expression “useless as a chocolate teapot.”
The challenge was to develop a teapot that could withstand boiling water long enough to let the tea brew for two minutes before pouring.
Mr Jopson went to master chocolatiers John Costello and Jan Kuendiger at Nestle Product Technology Centre (PTC) in York to find out what it would take to make a working chocolate teapot – and after weeks of planning, complex equations and numerous trips back to the drawing board, the result has been unveiled.
