Know-how

When melting chocolate there are two basic rules to avoid it seizing (becoming thick, gritty and unworkable): don't overheat it and don't let water get into the chocolate bowl. Either melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pan of simmering water or give it 20-second blasts in the microwave, stirring between each one to re-distribute the heat.
