I always use a double boiler. There is no way that the chocolate can burn or splatter.
If you do not have a double boiler, then put the chocolate into a zip lock freezer bag and put it into hot water or boiling water. Use a freezer bag because it is heavier and it will not melt or break. Pull the zip lock bag out of the hot water after the chocolate is melted and open the bag and pour the chocolate over the dish. Pinch the bag to get the remainder of the chocolate out. After the bag is empty, just throw it away. IT IS EASIER TO CONTROL THE MELTING PROCESS THIS WAY. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
