You'll want to put this on for about two minutes to start. Your bowl should be thick. The glass tempered bowl is key for making sure you don't get too many hot spots. All we want to do is cycle the chocolate on and off and stir it in between, every two minutes or so. This chocolate has been in the microwave for about two minutes. As you can see, it's starting to melt, but it's still got some chunks in it. It's really important at this point to stir this thoroughly. Move those chunks around. So the hot chocolate is slowly being cooled down by these chunks of chocolate, which you can see are still in there. We're going to go again into the microwave for probably just a minute or a minute and a half, until we lose those chunks. But first, we need to make sure we're letting the chunks slowly get into this hot chocolate. The ideal format for this, when we're ready to start seeding it with chocolate, the cold chocolate, is more of a liquid. So we're almost there, but we're going to have to go back in that microwave for just a minute or two. Two and a half minutes total with one stop in between to get it to this liquid state. You just have to stir it up and see where you are. This is just the temperature you want it to be. You want it to look just like this before you start to actually seed the chocolate, which is the tempering process. See more at: http://cook123.com/recipes/Tempering-...
