little_girl_lost Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 if you don't have a double boiler a microwave would work just fine microwave in a bowl for 20 seconds, stir, 20 more seconds, stir, and repeat those steps until desired meltiness 1 1

K_N Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 The best way to melt chocolate is to stick it in a metal or pyrodex glass bowl set over a pot of boiling water.

The only reason you use a bowl over water is because direct heat will caramelize the sugar in the chocolate.

Honestly I prefer the double boiler method...I usually separate the bowl from the pan with a tea towel....only because the sides of the pan are basically direct heat and can, within seconds, go from beautifully tempered chocolate to a burnt clumpy mess 1

And if you don't have that, you can always use aluminum foil in a pinch for the same effect as long as you watch it. 1

Yeah, the point is just to keep the chocolate away from the direct heat source. Anything will work if it's heat resistant and solid.

Ginguy Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 I've melted over direct heat, but I have an electric range with a warming burner, that's what I use at about 50% strength.
