water-bath
Indirect heat method
A water-bath is a container of heated water used to warm or cook something gently and evenly.
In cooking, delicate dishes like custards and cheesecakes bake in a water-bath to prevent cracking.
In laboratories, a water-bath maintains samples at precise temperatures for experiments.
Also spelled as two words or one: water bath, waterbath.
