That's a good point - I always chop mine before melting or use Mycryo which is in powdered form.
Best way to melt Cacao Butter?
it has a melting point of 90 degrees. you can shave the desired amount from the block so it is very thin and will melt easily.
use a double boiler or a dehydrator
So if I am using an electric stove top and a sauce pan just the lowest setting probably?
And this wont burn it? Just put it on the lowest setting like Adam said for in the oven? I am more or less looking for efficiency and this may be quicker? I will have to try both I suppose!
So let it melt half way then pult it off and let it finish so it doesnt burn on the lowest setting?
Right on the cooktop - don't leave it unattended though. It melts quickly. I usually remove it when about half is melted and swirl it until the rest melts.
Just curious what is the best way people have found to melt down the cacao butter without the use of water or a microwave?
Just looking to elongate the life of my grinders and I would rather it go in as a liquid than a solid!
Thank you so much!

Two changes we made with the chocolate is that this time we winnowed the chocolate. This time we didn't use a blow dryer to melt the chocolate. Two improvements with the chocolate is that the melanger didn't get clogged this time and everyone put in work.
