Melting Chocolate: Hints For Best Results
This 0.65 Qt. (21-oz.) Dip Warmer is intended to heat, hold and is perfect for
making chocolate dips, candies, desserts, and warming sauces and other dips.
Use your Dip Warmer to serve your favorite chocolate fondues.
1. Keep the Dip Warmer’s lid closed to retain heat and maintain the ideal
serving temperature.
2. Chocolate should be chopped into uniform pieces, about the size of
chocolate chips, to ensure even melting. Large blocks of unchopped
chocolate will not melt well in the Dip Warmer.
3. AVOID ALL CONTACT WITH WATER! Chocolate will seize and become
unworkable if it comes into contact with even a few drops of water.
Make sure stoneware pot and lid are completely dry before use.
4. Never add water to any chocolate or melted confection. Use oil, butter or
cream/milk to thin.
7
5. Stir the chocolate frequently with a rubber spatula, at least every
10 minutes.
IMPORTANT: Always stir chocolate or confection during melting.
To prevent chocolate or any sugary confection from becoming stiff and
unusable, stir as needed.
6. To transfer melted chocolate or candy to molds or tray, use a spoon
or ladle. Fill the candy mold/tray to the top edge with melted chocolate.
Gently tap mold on the work surface to eliminate air bubbles.
Refrigerate until hardened.
7. For a fun presentation, use wooden skewers or popsicle sticks to thread
and dip: marshmallows, cake squares, fruits, or bacon.
8. Dip foods such as cookies, candies, dried fruits one at a time.
Use a chocolate skewer for easy serving.
9. Carefully place dipped food on wax/parchment paper or on a cooling
rack to harden.
10. Use a pastry brush to apply a thin chocolate coating to delicate surfaces
such as mint leaves.
11. When melting chocolate for dipping, melt the chocolate twice. Allow
chocolate to cool for at least 4 hours. Then melt again. The second
melting will create a looser and nicer dip.
