Observing for 60% cocoa



This was the third trial for 60% cocoa of Ghirardelli chocolate. After breaking up the chocolate and putting it on the stove, the chocolate melted rather quickly. At first the bottom had the shiny quality, then you could see the sides and bottom were melting rapidly and the pile of chocolate began to shrink. After slightly pushing down on the chocolate with the candy thermometer it soon melted and I was able to take the temperature.
