Double Boilers
To cook delicate foods, there's nothing quite as effective as a double
boiler. It is also quite useful in warming food.
Generally, a double boiler consists of two pans; the lower pan, in which
water is placed to simmer, and the upper pan, into which goes the food.
Remember to use them on gentle-to-moderate heat.
When in a pinch, you can create a makeshift double boiler by placing a
smaller pan (for the food) inside a larger one (for the water), and
elevating the smaller pan with a trivet of some sort, to keep it from
touching the hot bottom. |
