The techniques and safety points this recipe uses, explained from scratch.

Melting butter or chocolateShow

Gentle heat. Butter and chocolate both burn easily.

  1. Butter: low to medium heat, swirling the pan, until it foams. Brown specks mean it is starting to burn.
  2. Chocolate: in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water (not touching it), or in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each.
Toast without a toasterShow

A toaster is easiest, but a dry pan or the grill works just as well.

  1. Toaster: medium setting, and watch the first slice — every toaster is different.
  2. Pan: a dry frying pan on medium heat, 1–2 minutes a side, pressing down gently with a spatula.
  3. Grill: on the rack under a hot grill, 1–2 minutes a side. Don't walk away — it burns fast.
Thickening a sauce by cooking it downShow

Letting a sauce bubble with the lid off lets water escape as steam, so it gets thicker and tastier.

  1. Take the lid off and keep it at a lively simmer.
  2. Stir every minute or two, scraping the bottom — it catches more easily as it thickens.
  3. Season at the END, because the salt concentrates as the liquid goes.

Ready when: It coats the back of a spoon, and a line drawn through it with your finger stays clear.
