I use the lazy and slow way to melt chocolate. My gas stove has an intermittent burner (two actually) that turns itself on and off. I stick the chocolate in a heavy bottomed saucepan over the intermittent burner on the lowest setting so it comes on for something like 10 seconds and goes off for 50 seconds, on for 10, etc., and just walk away for a long time. I come back to perfectly melted chocolate.
