How to Melt Chocolate on the Stove

One way to melt chocolate is on the stove using a double boiler. You can purchase a fancy double boiler, but it's easy to create one on your own by using a saucepan and a bowl.

Choose a bowl that is heat safe and slightly larger than the sauce pan. The bowl should fit over the saucepan but not fit completely inside so it touches the water from the saucepan below it.

Place water in the bottom saucepan which is then placed directly over the heat from the stove.
Then gently place the bowl with the chocolate on top.
As the water simmers, the heat will begin to melt the chocolate in the bowl.
Be careful that the water doesn't boil and that none of the water gets into the bowl.

Stovetop Melting Chocolate Mistake

The biggest mistake people make when melting chocolate on the stove is getting water into the bowl with the chocolate. Water seizes the chocolate and you will have a huge mess.

How to Melt Chocolate in the Microwave

Place the chocolate in a bowl in the microwave using the low setting and starting out in 30 seconds intervals.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the chocolate.
If you don't stir, you risk burning the chocolate.
Return the chocolate back to the microwave and repeat with another 10 to 15 seconds; stirring after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted.
In just a few minutes you'll have perfectly beautiful melted chocolate for dipping the strawberries.

Microwave Melting Chocolate Mistake

The mistake people make when melting chocolate in the microwave is forgetting to stir the chocolate after each interval. Chocolate pieces can retain their shape until you stir them. If you overheat the chocolate, it will also seize up and not be usable.

Tips for Selecting Strawberries

Here are a few tips for selecting perfect strawberries for dipping in chocolate:

Just because a strawberry is big, doesn't mean it's sweet. In fact, the smaller the strawberry, the sweeter it is.
Try to get strawberries that have a stem. They make a great presentation and you have something to hold on to while dipping them in the melted chocolate.

Storage Tips

Refrigerator: Once the chocolate sets, store chocolate-covered strawberries at room temperature on a parchment-lined tray or container. Lightly cover with parchment if needed. Refrigeration may cause condensation on the surface.

Freezer: Chocolate covered strawberries should not be frozen.
