Melting Coatings
Microwave:   Place wafers in a glass bowl. Microwave
for  40 seconds.  Stir.   Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir.
Continue microwaving only a few seconds at a time,
stirring between each time, until wafers are nearly
melted.  Remove from microwave and stir until all the
wafers are melted. 
Double Boiler:   Bring water to nearly boiling point in
the bottom double boiler pan.  TAKE PAN OFF STOVE.
Put wafers in the top pan of the  double boiler. Place
the pan over the bottom pan containing the hot water. 
Stir until the wafers are fluid. Important: NEVER HAVE
THE TOP PAN OVER THE BOTTOM PAN WHEN
THE BOTTOM PAN IS ON THE STOVE!!!!! Please
follow one of the above methods! Too much heat,
water or  steam ruins the candy!!!
Electric Skillet: Turn electric skillet on it's lowest
setting.  Line with 6 or 7 dry towels.  Place bowl of
coating on towels.  Takes about 2 hours to melt.

Keeping Candy Coating Warm

remelting!
