  1. 1Cooking chocolate
  2. 1/4 cupvegetable oil

Cooking Instructions

10 mins
  1. 1

    Melting chocolate sounds easy, but if not done right it can be an absolute disaster. Cook it too long and lumps form. A bit of water falling into the mix will also make the possibility of smooth melted chocolate impossible!

  2. 2

    I add vegetable oil to the cooking chocolate which ensures a smooth consistency - in other words NO LUMPS

  3. 3

    Before putting the chocolate into the double boiler, pour in +/- 1/4 cup vegetable oil. (There is no actual measurement as it depends on how much chocolate you are melting)

  4. 4

    Place chocolate into double boiler

  5. 5

    Stir until chocolate has melted totally

  6. 6

    If any lumps start to form, just add a little more oil.

  7. 7

    This method makes the melted chocolate smooth and easy to work with for pouring/ dipping/ anything that requires melted chocolate

  8. 8

    This method also makes the chocolate set quicker and harder
