Thanks for your questions, Wendy. Here is a photo of the method using a glass bowl over the saucepan: http://www.eclecticmamma.com/images/thumb/ModelChocolateS3ath.jpg Also I realize the directions don’t specify, but I meant that you should cover the bowl and not the saucepan with a lid. Hope that helps! Feel free to email me at xiaolu6+info@gmail.com if you have any other questions.

I do not follow your method in cooking the chestnuts. Would you mind posting some pix to show how you can place a large Pyrex glass or other heatproof bowl that has a rim wider than the saucepan and which will not touch the simmering water when placed over the saucepan. If the glass or bowl is wider than the saucepan, then how can you cover the saucepan with a lid? Thanks.
