Tip: A double boiler is two saucepans that stack on top of each other. The bottom saucepan is filled with simmering water, while the top saucepan is filled with food that is cooked, or in this case melted, by the heat from below. If you don’t have a double boiler, make your own: In a small saucepan, bring 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) of water to a boil, then place a stainless steel bowl over the mouth of the saucepan to hold the chocolate.
