Best Answer

A double boiler is a two pot cooking device. The bottom pot holds water. The top pot is smaller (usually with a lid) and fits into the bottom pot. When the water in the bottom pot gets hot and boils, it then heats the top pot thereby warming or melting or cooking what is in the top pot. This same device is also known by the french "bain marie".

A double boiler is used for applying gentle heat on the stovetop. If making hollandaise sauce, melting chocolate, etc, gentle heat is needed to prevent burning. Simmering water in the bottom pan gently heats the top pan.

A double boiler is used to heat foods which should not get too hot. Chocolate, for example, risks scorching if heated in a pan directly over the flame.
