Is melting chocolate the bane of your cooking existence? Follow these simple bain-marie tips and melt chocolate like a pro every time.
Step 1: Finely chop chocolate and place in a heatproof bowl that fits snuggly in a saucepan (this stops water spraying into the chocolate).
Step 2: Half-fill saucepan with water and bring to a simmer. Place bowl on top, making sure it doesn't touch water (or it will overheat).
Step 3: Stir with a metal spoon until melted. Avoid wooden or plastic spoons - these retain moisture that makes chocolate seize (harden)
