Melting Choc

Melting Chocolate


Basically there are two ways:

Double Boil

Simply put you chopped chocolate into a glass or stainless steel bowl which is bigger that a pot with boiling water. Switch off the stove so that it will not be too hot. This will ensure that there will be no water vapour or water getting into the chocolate. If that happens, the chocolate will split and will not set. (Set means it will not harden). Stir until melted.

Microwave

Simply put choc into a bowl. Set microwave to 340w, (medium kot) The time depends on how much choc u r melting. It takes 2.5 mins to melt 800gm. Don't worry if you see the choc remains the same. You have to stir once it's out of the microwave because it looks as though it's not melted.
