  1. double boiler

    A double boiler is a kitchen tool used for applying gentle heat on the stovetop, for delicate tasks like making hollandaise sauce, melting chocolate, or preparing custards such as creme anglaise. It generally consists of a pot filled with hot or boiling water and another bowl or pot that fits on top of it, wherein the food is placed. The steam from the boiling water warms the contents of the upper pot evenly, preventing scorching or curdling.
