What is the melting temperature and method for coating?
* To properly melt coating, you can use a microwave. Place the product in a bowl and microwave it for 20-30 seconds at a time. After each 20-30 second interval, stir the contents. The product will melt quickly and is very easy to scorch if overheated. It is best to use a thermometer and melt until the well mixed coating is at about 115ºF. Then allow the coating to cool to about 5 degrees above the melt point prior to using it. * We don’t recommend using double boilers since the coatings may absorb some of the escaped moisture. * Commercially, coating is melted in large water-jacketed melting tanks. * Again it is melted to approximately 115ºF and then cooled to about 5 degrees above the melt point of the coating. * Coating should also be thoroughly agitated before application since fat migration to the surface may take place during the melting process.
