A bain marie is a utensil and a cooking technique. One container with food to be cooked is placed in another, larger pan containing water that is at the simmering point. This method of cooking surrounds the food with very gentle heat and is used for cooking delicate dishes like custards or white sauces, or melting chocolates.

Sorry—steam bath doesn\'t really sound good for the kitchen.

Hi Babayaga! Being that I don't cook that much (I mostly stirfry!) I had never heard of a bain marie. I guess I need to catch some reruns of Julia Child!

In English the French term is used. It is a double-boiler method, in which you boil something (for example a can of evaporated milk)in a pot and that pot is inside another pot.
As far as I know, in Spain it's a technique usually used in the oven, with a souffle or other disk in a baking pan, and that baking pan is in another pan filled with water while being cooked in the oven.

FYI I have tried it once and the recipe didn\'t turn out, but I will keep trying :P

Would be my first choice for the USA; double boiler also.
I've never heard that French one, it may be only used by certain classes.
