You need a pot and a small heat-resistant bowl, which must fit in the pot but should not be too small. Fill the pot up to the half with water and heat it slowly. The water mustn't boil, because chocolate forms grainy lumps when the water is too hot. Then you put the bowl into the pot. When you cut the chocolate into pieces, it melts more easily but you can also put the whole bar into the bowl. Stir the melting chocolate in the bowl and don't let it burn. Be careful, a single drop of water makes the chocolate form lumps, so don't let any water get into the melting chocolate. Melting chocolate in a water bath
