For a fool-proof way to temper chocolate or keep your sauces warm, go to your local hardware store and get a small electric blanket. You can fit the electric blanket in a bowl and then place another bowl on top of that. Place your favorite chocolate in and in a few minutes, you'll have a perfectly tempered chocolate. For sauces, once you're done cooking them on the stovetop transfer them to the warm bowl and keep the heat on low. This will keep your sauce warm for serving without the fear of overcooking.
