Melting Chocolate

It’s easy to melt chocolate, the secret is not to get any water into it or it will turn gritty. so if you are washing up a bowl prior to using it, make sure you dry it really well.

In the Microwave

Break the chocolate into squares and place in a heatproof non-metallic bowl. Place the bowl into the microwave and heat on full power for about a minute. Give it a stir and repeat in 30-second bursts until the chocolate has melted.

On the Stove top

Break the chocolate into squares and place in a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl on top of a saucepan of gently simmering water. The base of the bowl should not be touching the water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted.
