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.
