Mrs. Anderson's Baking's Chocolate Melting Pot gently warms contents over indirect heat without any hot spots to melt chocolate without it scorching. The heavyweight pan fits most saucepans and small pots to temper, melt, and warm chocolate to a perfect temperature and texture and keep the melting chocolate from seizing. The front hook design stabilizes the pot over saucepans for extra secure use. With a 2.5-cup capacity, it melts bigger batches for recipes that call for larger amounts of melted chocolate. It's ideal for making chocolate-dipped strawberries, cookies, pretzels or potato chips, peanut butter balls, cereal bars, marshmallows, chocolate bark, truffles, and other candy recipes, chocolate-covered ice cream cones, nuts, coffee beans, chocolate fondue, sauce for ice cream, homemade chocolate spread, create chocolate-filled pastries, and more.
