Chocolate has many uses. Many of them require that you get the chocolate in a more pliable mood. That means melting chocolate. Before you cringe, it is easy to melt chocolate as long as you follow a few simple rules:
·Cut chocolate into smaller uniform pieces
·Melt over low heat
·Stir often
·Use a double boiler (even a makeshift one is better than nothing) or the microwave
It takes a while for chocolate to melt.But, just as quickly as it melts it will also set up again once away from heat. With that in mind, if you are using molds for your chocolate creations, have them ready to go.
Like we said, chocolate doesn’t take long to solidify once it is removed from the heat. So, you have to get working. One thing that you will need is parchment paper. Parchment paper provides a non-stick surface for your chocolate shapes.
