1. NOTE: A double boiler typically consists of a flat-bottomed insert (you can use a bowl) that fits snugly over a pan of simmering water; there is a gap between the water level and the bottom of the bowl so the item in the top of the double boiler is heated by the steam from the liquid below, not the hot water.
