Tips for Melting Chocolate
Stir dark or milk chocolate as it melts to keep it smooth. If the
cocoa butter crystals in the chocolate come in contact with any
moisture during melting they may cause the chocolate to seize. For
this reason, never cover chocolate when melting; moisture may get
trapped inside the bowl or pot and drip back into the chocolate,
causing it to seize. The same can happen if the chocolate is melted
over rapidly simmering or boiling water, which causes steam. If
the chocolate seizes, try stirring a teaspoon of oil for every 12
ounces of chocolate into it, but this trick may not work and the
only remedy is to start over.
Melting chocolate in the microwave: For chocolate morsels,
place morsels in a glass bowl and microwave on medium power at 30-second
intervals, stirring between intervals. The chocolate is done when
it looks shiny and stirs easily into a smooth pool.
Melting chocolate over a double boiler: You can use a
conventional double boiler or a pot with a stainless steel bowl
set on top. Fill bottom pot with a few inches of water and bring
to a very gentle simmer. The water should not touch the bottom of
the bowl or upper pot or the chocolate might scorch. Stir frequently
until the chocolate melts completely and is very smooth.
