Melting a block of chocolate can be easily achieved using the following method:
The Blitz Method
This method is quick and effective, as demonstrated in a YouTube video.
- Initial Blitz: Start by "blitzing" the chocolate in intervals, likely with a food processor or a similar tool, for approximately 30 seconds.
- Mix Intervals: After the initial blitz, open the food processor and mix the chocolate. This ensures that the heat is distributed evenly throughout and all the pieces are in contact.
- Repeat: Continue blitzing for 30 seconds intervals followed by mixing, repeating this process until the chocolate is fully melted.
Key Takeaways:
- The key is to melt the chocolate using short bursts of heat and mixing in between intervals to prevent burning.
