Ingredients
8oz(226g) semi-sweet chocolate
Instructions
In a microwave safe bowl, heat 3/4 of chocolate for 30 seconds and stir.
Repeat this step until most of the chocolate is melted. Check the temperature. If you are close to 113F (45C) start heating in 5 second intervals, stirring between each cycle and rechecking temperature as it can heat quickly in the end stages and burn.
Add in the remain chocolate. Continue to stir until the temperature drops to 88F (31C.)
Your chocolate is now in temper and ready to use.
Notes
Any amount of chocolate can be used, but in general, it is not recommended to melt less than 3 oz at a time as smaller amounts scorch easily.
