" Hi this is David from The Big Easy Catering Company in Santa Barbara California for expertvilliage.com. Right now we are doing the chocolate fountain and we are melting the chocolate on top of the double boiler. I have just added the oil to the chocolate chips and you want to keep a eye on this now. Make sure that you are melting evenly and just is...and you would see it smoother and smoother as it goes. The reason that you want to add oil to this is the chocolate fountain would be able to the auger would be able to lift the chocolate much more easier when it is more fluids. So this is a real important step. Now you can also use the microwave for this. I recommend this method. It is easier to keep a eye on and it is kind of fun. As you can see it is melting very nicely. You want to keep working from the bottom also so it doesn't stick."
