"Amazing" star star star star star I used the melting pot for the first time today. I have a 700w microwave which does not offer seconds. only 0 - 1 etc. I used 100 grm Premium Extra Dark Chocolate 90% Cocoa Solids cut up into small pieces and put the lid on loosely.I set the microwave on medium for appx 30 secs but the pot wasn't even warm. I set the microwave on high and gave it another 30 secs. Just warm, I stirred it gently with a long handled ice cream spoon and gave it another 30 secs. Perfect, made 6 chocolates, all ok. Will try this for topping chocolate cakes later, can't wait.
"A brilliant accessory that makes moulding chocolate a breeze" star star star star star I bought it yesterday as I'd read the reviews and thought it would be useful when making yet another chocolate train. Previously I had melted chocolate in a glass bowl over a saucepan and transferred it to a plastic jug, which resulted in a lot of mess and wastage. However, with the melting pot I could pour the exact amount of chocolate into the mould which eliminated the need to trim any excess once the chocolate had set. The reviews were very helpful as I took care to melt the chocolate in 10 second bursts which is definitely the way to do it. Thank you Lakeland for another winning product.
"Regularly used" star star star star star This has taken over my husband's cooking style. He uses this for melting butter for popcorn, corn cob and even toast
"Brilliant!" star star star star star This product is all that it claims to be. I only wished I'd bought it earlier!
"Handy Chocolate Pot" star star star star star I have used the melting pot for the first time today. I read the reviews before I used it which made me think perhaps it would be a bit tricky! But I found it so simple, a perfect little pot which does exactly what it is meant to. The care taken with the microwave timing was no more than I would do if I was melting it in a glass bowl. If you microwave chocolate in any kind of pot or cup it would burn if you heat it too long or too high. I also found it easy to wash without even bothering to turn it inside out. So I love it, Great product Lakeland, I would like another one perhaps a bit larger
