1. Place your chocolate in a plastic bowel and microwave on full power 10 seconds at a time. Stir well after every heating.

2. Melt the chocolate until about 80-90% of the chocolate is melted but there are still lumps of unmelted chocolate.

3. Stir the chocolate until the lumps have melted into the chocolate. The lumps will still be in temper and will seed the out of temper melted chocolate with the cocoa butter crystals necessary to bring the whole bowl of chocolate back into temper.
