Notes On Melting White Chocolate
The size of the bowl/cup does matter when you are melting white chocolate. My rule is the chips should be no higher than 2 inches from the bottom.
You need the canola oil. This helps the white chocolate to not only thin out but it promotes a more even melt.
Heating for a long time does not mean the chips will melt better. Stir in between each 30 second increment of heating for at least 30 seconds. Push the clumps you see to the sides of the bowl where it is hot to help them break down. Typically it only takes white chocolate 60 seconds to melt in the microwave.
If the white chocolate becomes hardened and clumpy this means it has seized from being too hot or water getting into the mixture. Add another half teaspoon of canola oil and whisk vigorously (you may be able to save it).
