How to melt chocolate

The Lebanese Recipes Kitchen (The home of delicious Lebanese Recipes and Middle Eastern food recipes) invites you to read  this article about How to melt chocolate. 

Here's a fail-safe way to melt chocolate. When melting it over simmering water on the stove, just one drop of water can cause it to seize.

Step 1: Cut the chocolate into similar-sized pieces and place in a clean, dry microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl. Don't use a plastic bowl, as it can retain moisture and make the chocolate seize.

 

Step 2: Heat, uncovered, on Medium/ 500watts/50% for 1 minute, then stir with a clean, dry metal spoon. Wooden spoons may retain moisture, making the chocolate seize.

 

Step 3: Chocolate holds its shape in the microwave, so stir every minute. Continue to heat chocolate on Medium/ 500watts/50%, stirring every minute, until the chocolate melts and is smooth.
