Is it safe to microwave chocolate chips?

Chocolate chips are ideal for melting in microwave because they are already portioned into small uniform pieces so they will melt evenly. The trick is to keep ⅓ of chips aside, and then stir them in after the rest of the chocolate has melted.

Why does my chocolate burn when I melt it?

Also, be sure all your utensils are dry: even the tiniest bit of water can cause the chocolate to seize (turn hard and grainy), leaving you with a dull, hard clump of chocolate. Some recipes call for melting the chocolate along with butter or cream, which helps prevent scorching as well.

Can you overheat melting chocolate?

When melting down for a recipe, white and milk chocolates have a top end temperature of 110°F, while dark varieties should never be heated above 120°F. If temperatures exceed these marks, the mix will become overheated. ... And the longer it cooks at high temperatures, the harder it will be to save.
