How to quickly and safely melt chocolate
Take the required amount of chocolate, finely chop it, and place it in a piping bag. Close the bag with a plastic clip. Pour water at about 40 degrees Celsius into a rectangular container; the water should feel comfortably warm. Place the chocolate in the water, making sure the clip of the bag remains above the water to prevent water from getting into the chocolate. From time to time, take out the chocolate and knead it with your hands until the chocolate is completely melted.
Using this method, you will never overheat the chocolate and will keep ingredient loss to a minimum. And there’s no need to wash dishes 🙂
