How to Store Chocolate

Return to Cooking 101
Store chocolate in cool place away from direct heat or sunlight. If it’s stored at too low or high of temperature, grey streaking, or "bloom", can appear on its surface. This is caused by sugar crystals forming or cocoa butter rising to the surface. It doesn’t mean the chocolate has spoiled. Melting will recombine the ingredients properly.

Energy & Safety Tips
Cooking attire

Don't wear loose clothes while cooking. An electrical coil on the stove reaches a temperature of 800 degrees and a gas flame goes over 1,000 degrees. A dishtowel, potholder or a loose sleeve can catch fire at 400 degrees.
