Q: How do I melt chocolate?
Answer(s) to this Question (
1 / 3
)
Melting Chocolate
Be careful when melting chocolate or it can seize, which results in a grainy mess. The lighter the chocolate, the higher the chances of this happening, so be especially careful with vanilla milk chips. The most important thing to remember is that chocolate melts better and faster at lower temperatures. Never let your chocolate get above 115° F.
Oven Melted Chocolate
You can melt chocolate in the oven. Place grated chocolate in a metal bowl and put it in an oven set at 110° F. If your oven doesnīt go that low, use the lowest temperature and keep the door ajar. Your chocolate will melt in about an hour.
Melting Chocolate w/ liquid
What if your recipe calls for melting chocolate along with water or some other type of liquid? Thatīs fine, as long as the liquid is mixed with the chocolate from the beginning of the melting process. It wonīt seize with this technique, but adding even a drop of liquid in the middle of melting will cause this problem.
