Double boiler

Tool

Also known as: Bain-marie

A two-part pan system in which a heatproof bowl or saucepan sits over a pot of barely simmering water, allowing gentle, indirect heat for melting chocolate or making custards. The steam rather than direct flame heats the upper vessel, preventing scorching.
