Need a microwave, ruler, bar of chocolate .
(Better to take a longer bar of chocolate )
STEP 1: Take the turntable out of the microwave. We don't want uniform heating of Chocolate . You need the chocolate to stay still whilst you heat it.
STEP 2: Put a plate upside down over the thing that rotates the turntable .
STEP 3: Now place the bar in the microwave and turn the microwave on .
It will take some 20 - 40 sec when chocolate will start melting in two or three places .
STEP 4: Now its time to take out chocolate and measure carefully the distance between one hot spot to another hot spot .
A hot spot is where the chocolate is starting to melt or is more melted than rest of the other portion .
