water bath
Double boiler method
A water bath is a container of heated water used to gently warm or cook something placed inside it.
In cooking, delicate dishes like custards and cheesecakes bake in a water bath to ensure even, gentle heat: The crème brûlée set perfectly in the water bath.
In laboratories, water baths maintain precise temperatures for samples and reactions.
