Hi, I'm Terri Turco with Expert Village and I'm going to tell you about the two separate
ways to melt chocolate. In the first method what you do is you melt chocolate over, what
they call a double boiler. Well obviously, it's just a pan and what you do is you fill
the pot with water. You fill it about 3/4 full and then you put a glass bowl, and it
has to be glass, can't be a wood bowl, can't be a ceramic bowl, it needs to be a glass
bowl. And if you are wondering why does it have to be glass. Because when the water heats
up it much more easily heats up a glass bowl, but with ceramic it would take too long and
if it was wood you might have a fire. We don't want any fires for the Expert Village people.
The second method is to put it in a microwave oven and that my friends is what we are going
to be doing today. We're going to put it in the microwave oven even though we'll have
the double boiler going. But you're going to see the microwave oven is so much quicker,
it's going to be a lot better for you. So when you come back we're going to go right
to the microwave and in less than probably a minute we'll have that chocolate melted
and ready to go in action. So make sure you come back.
