I am making the ganache for a recipe. Can I use the microcooker?
 
Yes. You'll just have to watch it really carefully.
 
I just did it with 2 tbsp of butter and have done it with a little cool whip too.
 
Just remember that chocolate doesn't change shape when it's melting. So stir it after the 1 minute, then every 15-30 seconds until its melted.
 
Absolutely! The microcooker is a great tool for making ganache. It will heat and melt the chocolate evenly, making it easier to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Just be sure to stir the ganache frequently while heating to prevent it from burning. Happy cooking!
