Ok.. I spent my money, got this cocao butter.. it smells good.. but HOW DO I MELT THIS STUFF?? Do I melt it like coconut oil? Coconut oil comes in a glass jar and can be remelted several times over... is this stuff the same way? This came from Naturalzing in a plastic container that is not air tight to be put in water. Do I put it in a warm oven? Or do I melt the whole thing or only break off what I am going to use and put that in some kind of airtight container..?? I am so confused..and soooo ready to make some raw cheesecake and raw candy so any advice on this would be helpful!!!!!

I've done it a couple of ways:

1. I've broken off what I needed and put into a bowl in the dehydrator

2. Put into a bowl and put that bowl in another bowl or pan, etc. of hot water and stir it around until it melts.

You could also turn the oven on, put the cacao butter in a dish, bowl, etc. and set it on top of the middle of the stove so the heat rising up from the oven will warm and melt it.
