Was it the metal bowl that freaked you out she got it to glass before she put it in.😅

[@jeneralgod]

If you guys want to melt chocolate in the microwave. Depending on your wattage, put the bowl of choc and microwave 10-15 seconds, take it out and stir it for 20-30 seconds, then repeat the process until it's melted.
Dont shove it in the micro and put it at 1 minute, it doesnt work

[@isabellearelle596]

Tips:
I haven’t tried this but I have read the comments. I would definitely make sure that you do microwave it in intervals, not in one big block of time. Make sure it’s microwave safe and don’t try to do too much! Make sure your microwave is on the right setting. That’s all I have but tell me if you have other ones!

[@db452]

My house is on fire. Thanks a lot

[@tee_shirt]

You did something wrong

[@kristinasheehan7408]

You are hysterical! I’m just too lazy to put it in a silver bowl over steaming water in a pot and it always ends up like a chunky pasty nightmare! No fire yet😉🤪

He everyone! As the comments are written I noticed there attempts to melt chocolate was a fail. Well even my chocolate started burning when melted. But I have seen many times in cooking videos that when they melt chocolate they add a little bit of butter, milk or water. After that I tried melting my chocolate in that method and it WORKED. It was all soft and creamy.

[@azizaaman4290]

thanks for the tip and also u have a great taste in music

[@jonathanrobles376]

I tried this but my microwave started acting weird and flashing lights it almost exploded I used chocolate salt with almonds and popcorn

[@SikanaEnglish]

Thanks for your comment! When melting chocolate, it's best to stick to plain chocolate generally :) How long was the chocolate in the microwave for?

[@jonathanrobles376]

Sikana English a couple of seconds.

[@SikanaEnglish]

How strange! And is your microwave ok now? No other problems? As we said, for best results, you should melt plain chocolate (with no chunks in it) :)

[@Noob-vj1bb]

John Plays Last Day On Earth that happen to me.

[@offrampt]

That also happened to me. After a few seconds there was a massive explosion that blew out a four-foot hole in my kitchen wall. Eventually the whole house came down and my animals were killed. I had to use a bain-marie.

[@Davontae0B]

I put it in at 30 second intervals and mixed in between like everyone says and mine came out powdery and the house almost burned down.

[@velistigalaxis793]

You sure that was chocolate??? 😂

[@kloalpha4966]

I put it for 30 seconds then took it out,mixed, put it again for 30 seconds then mix and it actually works and if u leave it to rest for like 10-20 mins it turns into a Nutella constituency

Microwave for 30 seconds then mix it. Repeat three times. It worked fir me!♡♡♡ perfect

[@mahkamehmohsenin9637]

For my first time we put on the stove, complete fail. Hardened quickly and smoke everywhere. I did it a second time, putting the chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds, then take it out and mix. Then i put back in the mircowave for 20 seconds. I mix it again and i get some smooth chocolate. Then again, doing it 3 times will make it better.

[@SikanaEnglish]

Ah glad you got the technique right in the end! The trick is really to heat it very gradually and keep stirring intermittently! Have you check out our other cooking tips? All the videos are free on our channel - please subscribe!

Awesomely Done and Helpful!!!!

Thanks very much, glad you found it helpful, and hope you enjoyed your chocolate :)

[@beastyfan101xd6]

That looks delicious

[@gizmohowells9482]

Just in case anyone’s scared of the comments, just get a bowl of the chocolate and put it over a bigger bowl filled with boiling water (like kettle water) just be careful since it will burn.

[@MattJess0421]

thank you! i making a thank gift for my family! with a tasty treat chocolate marshmellow sticks!

Is it safe to put the chocolate in makewave with a paper bowl?

[@Shubham-wu5jv]

It was a really time saving video

[@gmw4558]

Seems some are not following the directions: 50% power, 30 seconds, mix; 50% power, 30 seconds, mix, 50% power, 30 seconds, mix. I had to do this 4 times instead of 3. If you follow the directions carefully, the results should be good.

[@HayilCrowz]

I put mine in for 5 mins ;-;
The house smells like shit now
End there goes my favourite mug

[@Luisofbrazil]

LOL You're supposed to put for a few *seconds* , not minutes. Never put more than 30s to melt chocolate

[@LanceMcGrew]

She just used that as a container, she used a different bowl for the microwave

[@virtuososam588]

Would using crushed M&Ms work?

[@Renesme.com.]

Constantly checking as you would over the stove top. Constant stirring and quick work before solidifying is needed

[@p3nel0bility62]

Put it in the microwave for 30 seconds it sent my family downstairs asking if I burnt the house down and set off all of my smoke alarms. Thanks :)

[@ShockWithoutFear]

I followed these steps and the chocolate came out fine. Idk what the other comments are doing for it to mess up as bad as it has for them.
I added a bit of water/milk to help the melting process if I wanted it to melt a bit quicker too. It really isn't hard and works very well

[@SKhorse85]

Does both dark andmilk chocolate work

[@chainnettaprays891]

Thanks so much

[@coconuthead8616]

Lmao they had to replace the bowl

[@elishatincknell7106]

[@aarifam483]

How many chocolate should we put in there

[@izzys3494]

My microwave is 800w and the other one is 900w should I still put it for 20 seconds

[@SikanaEnglish]

Normally you can control the wattage. Otherwise try it on the lowest possible power for less time than 20 seconds. The most important thing is to keep check on it little and often. Thanks and take care when handling hot objects!

[@Nike-re4fq]

I was craving smth and saw this, so I decided to melt some chocolate. The original plan was to coat strawberries but I ran out so I used Bananas instead, tastes good btw

[@benhartstone3441]

Yay it worked at 30 seconds , done it 3 times turning during the intervals of taking out of microwave.... was hesitant at first because of the comment section....BUT it works guys/girls

i guess its like melting butter, it starts smoking and giving off static if you dont stir it throughout the melting

I think it depends on the power wattage of your microwave. Everyone's microwave is different. So my recommendation is, find out how much wattage and power your microwave is and then decide how much you need to put your chocolate in your microwave to melt for. That's what I am going to do.

[@aimeno5595]

[@SikanaEnglish]

Hi. When you do that in the micro-wave, you should take care of the power. different brands and different models migth have a big difference in power. You should put 20-30 seconds to start, then you mix it to see if it melts enough, and continue 20 per 20 seconds until you found the perfect melt ;-)
