Chocolate melts best at temperatures between 104F and 113F (40 and 45C). Never melt chocolate directly over a heat source. Use indirect heat such as a hot water bath so that the chocolate reaches a uniform temperature of 104F to 113F. This is the perfect temperature to begin tempering or recrystallization.
