Bain marie (water bath)
The term bain marie reffers to the action of heating the content of a vessel with the help of a bigger one. You fill a vessel (a pot, for example) with water and put the smaller vessel on top, with the food that must be heaten up. The water vapors heat the smaller pot. Usually, the water in the bigger vessel boils and the vapors heat the recipient on top. Also, with the help of bain marie you can keep a constant temperature in the small vessel. Instead of water you can also use oil, for example.
Nowadays there are also ‘dry options’, meaning vessels already filled with liquid, in which you don’t need to add anything. These heat up quicker and need less ‘atention’, like cleaning the recipient.
Bain marie is used for different recipes for heating the ingredients in an uniform way and not burning them by accident. It’s a very good way to melt chocolate or thicken condensed milk.
