Honey is rightfully considered one of the sweetest and healthiest delicacies.
However, over time it may begin to solidify. Therefore, it is worth examining 3 safe methods that will help melt honey.
Water bath
One of the most popular ways to melt honey is to use a double boiler.
This method allows you to heat honey evenly without risking overheating. To do this, just follow a few simple steps:
1) Fill the pan with a third of the water and heat it over medium heat.
2) place the jar or container with honey in a water bath so that it does not touch the bottom of the pan.
3) Stir the honey constantly with a spoon or spatula to ensure even melting.
This method is rightfully considered one of the best.
Microwave
The microwave is another way to quickly melt honey. However, it is important to be careful not to overheat it and lose its beneficial properties.
Honey should not be allowed to overheat, so the microwave power should be low. The process should also be constantly monitored.
Natural melting
The third way to melt honey is to simply leave it at room temperature and give it time to soften on its own.
This method is especially suitable for honey that is in small containers or jars. Of course, it will not be so easy to melt honey properly, but this method should definitely not be ruled out.
What not to do with honey
There are a few things you should never do with honey:
1) heat it over high heat, as this will lead to its destruction and loss of beneficial properties;
2) reheat several times;
3) store in the refrigerator;
4) add water as this will change its taste.
When melting honey, you should always be careful. Melting is not difficult, but it certainly doesn't hurt to be careful.
