How To Melt Chocolate In A Double Boiler.

With Valentine’s day around the corner, I had a request on how to make chocolate dipped strawberries so I thought I’d share a quick video on a simple chocolate melting technique. Melting chocolate to coat fresh fruit or to drizzle onto desserts or to use a a dip is quite easy if you follow these simple steps.

This method is called the double boiler technique and here’s a quick video I did detailing how simple it is:

Let’s run through the steps again…

– bring water to a boil

– place glass or metal bowl on top of pot (do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water)

– reduce heat to a simmer

– add chocolate pieces and with a whisk or spatula stir until melted

I told you melting chocolate on a double boiler is simple!
