How to Melt Chocolate, the Right Way! - Kitchen Conundrums with Thomas Joseph

[@senorculo6216]

I usually just melt chocolate with my mouth and spit it back into a empty bowl. it's time consuming but it gets the job done. For my chocolate fountain it took me about 2 hours but it was a hit at the party. Everyone enjoyed it. worth the 2 hours spent.

Im so happy that I searched this up before trying to melt my chocolate because I wasn’t gonna do ANYTHING that was said in this video and my chocolate wasn’t gonna turn out good at all😭😭😭😭 im so glad I decided to check and watch a video first👋🏾😭 saved me the trouble of a messy kitchen 👍🏾

[@YindiOfficial]

The way he described the chocolate was so pretentious it made me feel rich for a second there; I love it, and to be honest it's one of the reasons this is one of the best channels out there!

[@Halvos12]

I tried microwaving chocolate to melt it once. Little tip, don't do that, I ended up with a cracked bowl and ruined chocolate. Edit: You can get away with it doing it at 5 and 10-second timings, don't do the stupid thing I did and put in for over a minute at a time.

[@MakeUpJunkie2285]

Halvos hey! I messed up my double boiling so I went for the microwave for the 2nd try. I heated it for one minute ... stirring every 15 seconds, came out perfect 🙂

[@toucantaryn]

Halvos Thats what brought me to this video. My chocolate burned. Thankfully the bowl has no cracks, but the chocolate is completely ruined. I'm gonna try it this way.

[@areejhassan6987]

Halvos You need to use a microwave safe bowl

[@rinachua2112]

If you use a microwave safe bowl, it shouldn't crack. Also, when microwaving chocolate, be sure to do it in short bursts. 30 secs, stir, 20 secs, stir, and then 10 secs, and stir again. A microwave heats unevenly, so if you don't stir, you'll end up with parts burnt and parts not melted. Another tip is to chop up or grate your chocolate to smaller pieces so it will melt easier. Hope these tips help in some way or another. =D Good luck with your chocolate adventures~

[@swagapina]

Halvos i swear this literally just happened to me

[@debbykaufman848]

How do you temper chocolate? I melt my chocolate in the microwave, and when it is all melted I add a few more chunks of the hard chocolate and stir to melt. I found this method somewhere but was wondering if this was truly tempering the chocolate? Thanks!

[@snowfleem]

Its not actually tempering requires you to raise the temperature and then lower it the temperature and that type of shtuff

[@rachaelwills6122]

Tempering is when you cook something like chocolate or eggs and than bring it down to a certain temperature than raise the temperature again

[@TheDerpyMango3]

cocoa butter in chocolate needs tempering vegetable fat/oil does not tempering= 30 seconds MICROWAVE stir. 20 seconds take out and stir 10 seconds stir repeat 10 seconds until melted

[@geoffrey10040]

Yes, this is one of the methods of tempering, though I seem to remember more steps are involved. This method is called seeding. Look it up.

[@jiandongzhang1975]

Debby Kaufman the method you use is called seeding and you need a thermometer, the best way is to microwave 10 seconds, stir, microwave 10 seconds and keep on doing it until it is melted but still quite thick. Tempering Chocolate is basically rearranging the cocoa butter molecules since it goes in the wrong order once it gets too hot, microwaves apply minimal heat in short bursts so the cocoa butter won’t go in the wrong order.

[@celinecortes6313]

I have experienced this problem twice and I add butter or whipping cream but now I don't have to go through those :) Thank you Thomas

[@ThomasTV1]

What if you want to put a liquid flavouring in? Would you just add some at a time whilst melting over a double boiler?

[@rebeccafoo]

Thanks for sharing, I added in butter as I want it to be shinning. If harden, I added in some milk. Both worked great.

Great tips, never thought of using hot water on seized chocolate. One way I've found that works well on reviving seized chocolate is combing it with a saturated fat such as shortening or coconut oil, so that when it cools it will still maintain some coagulation to be drizzled onto baked goods, etc.

[@MarySocoOrtiz]

I used olive oil and it works fantastic over strawberries, thanks for the tip!

How does moisture on the bottom of the bowl even end up inside the bowl O_o

[@lucilofton5319]

that was more of a "better safe than sorry" tip :)

[@karenanneconti3894]

Just like how your coke bottle gets wet on the outside when it's cold.

[@unicornflavour]

Nocturne22 it doesn't end up inside the bowl. water or condensation and chocolate do not mix!!

[@liukang85]

It's called being careful. Anything on the outside/bottom of your bowl will be spread around while cooking/baking, and before you know it, you put your spatula on a wet spot.

2:58 chocolate that you were gonna throw away... WTF? Who does that regardless? Chocolate like this never need to go.

[@Becky_Lewis_Awareness]

Maunster! If the chocolate becomes actually BURNED, it is DISGUSTING and bitter and also filled with burned sugar (if sugar content in chocolate) which, the more acid ash you have after eating, the worse you're going to feel, plus it ruins the taste in any product. Seized chocolate, NOT BURNED is still worth using in something else if you cant get it fixed. SADLY.. there's a LOT of burned chocolate in landfills globally, SADNESS. lol

[@maunster3414]

Hey Becky Lewis, my comment is regarding seized chocolate if you care to pay attention.
