I once melted chocolate in glass bowl for 3 minutes in microwave. there was a lot of steam so I opened it . I took the bowl out put it on the table and the bowl broke of heat!!! I took both halfs put it in the sink so it would cool. the house smelled all day!! I'll be more carefull next time.

You never need more than about a minute to melt chocolate. The outside may not look melted but overall the temperature of the chocolate is enough to melt it. Just put in on low in 20¬30 second bursts until you can stir the chocolate into a liquid. You can keep the chocolate melted by using a hair drier on low setting and then stirring.

I love this instructible! I have a tip for meling chocolate with not chance to "break" it by overheating: You will need a small metal bowl or pot and a larger bowl or pot that this can fit into. Pour boiling water in the larger container, and put the smaller metal bowl with chocolate pieces into that, so that the smaller bowl touches the water. Then just wait until the chocolate melts, maybe 10 minutes or more, depending on the amount of chocolate. If the chocolate starts to reset, replace the water with more boiling water. This is the simplest and safest way to melt chocolate!
