Chocolate Melters

Table-top chocolate melters melt couverture and hold it at working temperature, so you can dip pralines, enrobe, decorate or keep a small batch of coloured chocolate ready while you work. The melting kettles on this page come from Chocolate World in 1.5, 3, 6 and 12 litre sizes.

Which Size Melting Kettle Do I Need?

The 1.5 L kettle suits small amounts, such as a coloured chocolate for decorating figures or a limited batch. The 3 and 6 litre kettles cover everyday dipping and enrobing of pralines and chocolate shapes, and the 12 litre kettle holds the most chocolate for bigger runs.

How Do These Melters Heat Chocolate?

The 1.5 L model is a double-walled bain marie, while the 3 and 6 litre kettles melt and hold couverture with dry heat, with no water bath. In a gelateria, a kettle can hold chocolate ready for dipping ice cream bars, sticks or waffle cones.

Need Something Bigger Than a Kettle?
