The 10 Best Double Boiler for Melting Chocolate

For melting chocolate, use a double boiler so you don’t burn the chocolate. Put the saucepan full of water on the stove and let it heat up. Once it starts boiling, simply put your bowl full of melted chocolate on top. The steam from the hot water will keep everything warm enough to melt nicely for you.

If your chocolate is in the form of solid chunks, you can place these pieces on top of a cup or something similar filled with water (or other liquid), and then microwave it. The bottom part should be fine since there’s no direct contact with the microwaves. Alternately, you could hold the container that has the coarsely-chopped chocolate at intervals while stirring until all of its softened enough to work with; or pour boiling water over and through (a colander may help) and beat to blend until melted and smooth enough to make, pipe, coat or spread desired desserts.

A crock pot may actually work, but a double boiler is a safer bet though.
Many people make the mistake of using a crockpot to make chocolate, thinking it will happen because milk and chocolate mix well together. The problem with this strategy is that the bottom of the crockpot stays much too hot, causing scorching and burning on your pan’s surface. In any case where you want tempering or just want to take it slow, turn off your heat completely before tempering in the fridge.
