Double Boiler
A double-boiler is a stovetop apparatus used to cook delicate sauces such as beurre blanc to melt chocolate without burning, or for any occasion when more indirect heating is desired.

It consists of a saucepot of boiling water, on top of which a second pot fits, so that the latter is heated by steam.

If one does not own such a device, the same cooking technique can be achieved by placing a metal bowl or glass bottle in a larger pot of boiling water.
