Book Prep: How To Melt Chocolate

Our book may be out, but we still have many great techniques to show you as part of our “book prep” video series!

We’ve given you How To Devein Shrimp, Brown Meat, and Make a Vinaigrette. Today, even more basic and essential: how to melt chocolate, two ways!

It may sound simple, but if you make a ton of chocolate bark like we do, you’ll need to make sure you melt your chocolate properly. Burnt chocolate is one of the many kitchen disasters you want to avoid–it isn’t pretty, and certainly isn’t tasty.

Stay tuned for more prep videos to come over the next few weeks–consider it a little bit of summer school!

From our kitchen, getting prepped, to yours,

Cara and Phoebe, THE QUARTER-LIFE COOKS
