The bain-marie comes in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and types, but traditionally is a wide, cylindrical, usually metal container made of three or four basic parts: a handle, an outer (or lower) container that holds the working liquid, an inner (or upper), smaller container that fits inside the outer one and which holds the material to be heated or cooked, and sometimes a base underneath.
Under the outer container of the bain-marie (or built into its base) is a heat source.
The smaller container, filled with the substance to be heated, fits inside the outer container, filled with the working liquid (usually water), and the whole is heated at, or below, the base, causing the temperature of the materials in both containers to rise as needed.
The insulating action of the water helps to keep contents of the inner pot from boiling or scorching.
When a bain-marie is filled with water the maximum temperature of the material in the lower container will not exceed 100 degrees Celsius (the boiling point of water at sea level).
Using different working liquids (oils, salt solutions, etc.)
in the lower container will result in different maximum temperatures.
A contemporary alternative to the traditional, liquid-filled bain-marie is the electric "dry-heat" bain-marie, heated by element below both pots.
The dry-heat form of electric bains-marie often consumes less energy, requires little cleaning, and can be heated more quickly than traditional versions.
They can also operate at higher temperatures, and are often much less expensive than their traditional counterparts.
Electric bains-marie can also be wet, using either hot water or vapor, or steam, in the heating process.
The open, bath-type bain-marie heats via a small, hot-water tub (or "bath"), and the vapour-type bain-marie heats with scalding-hot steam.
Culinary applications
Chocolate can be melted in a bain-marie to avoid splitting and caking onto the pot.
Special dessert bain-maries have a thermally insulated container and are used as a chocolate fondue.
Cheesecake is often baked in a bain-marie to prevent the top from cracking in the centre.
Custard may be cooked in a bain-marie to keep a crust from forming on the outside of the custard before the interior is fully cooked.
Classic warm sauces, such as Hollandaise and beurre blanc, requiring heat to emulsify the mixture but not enough to curdle or "split" the sauce, are often cooked using a bain-marie.
Some charcuterie such as terrines and pâtés are cooked in an "oven-type" bain-marie.
Thickening of condensed milk, such as in confection-making, is done easily in a bain-marie.
Bains-marie can be used in place of chafing dishes for keeping foods warm for long periods of time, where stovetops or hot plates are inconvenient or too powerful.
Bains-marie were originally developed for use in the practice of alchemy, when alchemists needed a way to heat materials slowly and gently.
In that early form of chemical science, it was believed by many that the best way to heat certain materials was to mimic the supposed natural processes, occurring in the Earth's core, by which precious metals were believed to be germinated.
The name comes from the medieval-Latin term balneum (or balineum) Mariae—literally, Mary's bath—from which the French bain de Marie, or bain-marie, is derived.
There are many theories as to how the name Marie came to be associated with this equipment:
According to culinary writer Giuliano Bugialli, the term comes from the Italian bagno maria, named after Maria de'Cleofa, who developed the technique in Florence in the sixteenth century.
Alternatively, the device's invention has been popularly attributed to Mary the Jewess, an ancient alchemist traditionally supposed to have been Miriam, a sister of Moses.
However, according to The Jewish Alchemists, Maria the Jewess was an ancient alchemist who lived in Alexandria, which would seem to contradict the tradition that she was Moses' sister: Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great in 334 BC, while Moses is thought to have lived around 1450-1200 BC.
Finally, some consider the name a reference to the Virgin Mary, whose proverbial gentleness can be likened to the gentleness of this cooking technique.

The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami was a 9.0-magnitude earthquake followed by tsunami waves.
It was measured at 8.4 on the JMA seismic intensity scale The earthquake happened  off  Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, on the east coast of the Tōhoku of Japan, on March 11, 2011 at 05:46:23 UTC.
It was at a depth of 24.4 km (15.2 miles).
It was  the most powerful earthquake to hit Japan in recorded history.
It was also the fourth most powerful earthquake on Earth since modern record-keeping began in 1900.
Days before the main earthquake, there were several foreshocks.
The biggest one was a 7.2 magnitude earthquake on 9 March, about  from the main earthquake's location.
The United States Geological Survey said the centre of the earthquake was  from Tokyo.
A 7.7 aftershock happened 30 minutes following the first quake.
There have been more than 600 aftershocks bigger than magnitude 4.5 or more.
The earthquake damaged buildings and started fires.
The Shinkansen high speed bullet trains were stopped and Haneda Airport was closed after the quake.
Various train services around Japan were also stopped.
Hundreds of flights to Japan were cancelled due to the earthquake and tsunami, affecting many people.
A large fire broke out at an oil refinery in Ichihara, Chiba prefecture.
The nuclear power plants shut down automatically.
At first the Japanese Prime Minister said that no radioactive material leaked.
About 51,000 people were moved away from the nuclear reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Fukushima city when its cooling system failed.
There are fears that the nuclear reactor might meltdown.
The earthquake started a tsunami warning for Japan's Pacific coast and other countries, including New Zealand, Australia, Russia, Guam, Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Nauru, Hawaii, Northern Mariana Islands (USA) and Taiwan.
The tsunami warning issued by Japan was the most serious on its warning scale.
It warned that the wave could be as much as 10 meters high.
A 0.5 meter high wave hit Japan's northern coast.
Kyodo news agency reported a four-metre-high tsunami hit the Iwate Prefecture in Japan.
Miyagi Prefecture was flooded, with waves carrying buildings and cars along as they travelled inland.
In some areas the waves reached 10 km inland.
At 9:28 p.m (HST) the National Weather Service issued a tsunami warning until 7 a.m. for all of Hawaii.
Tsunami waves were expected to arrive in Hawaii at 2:59 am local time.
A wave two meters high reached California, after travelling across the Pacific Ocean at a speed of 500 kilometres per hour.
A man in California was drowned after being swept into the ocean while trying to take a photograph of the tsunami wave.
Deaths–Injured–Missing
Nuclear disaster
The Fukushima nuclear disaster began on March 11 2011, just hours after the initial wave.
The connection to the electrical grid was broken.
All power for cooling was lost and reactors started to overheat.
There was a partial core meltdown in reactors 1, 2, and 3; hydrogen explosions destroyed the upper part of the buildings housing reactors 1, 3, and 4; an explosion damaged the containment inside reactor 2; fires broke out at reactor 4.
Despite being initially shutdown, reactors 5 and 6 began to overheat.
Spent nuclear fuel rods stored in pools in each reactor building overheated as water levels in the pools dropped.
The accident is the second biggest nuclear accident after the Chernobyl disaster, but more complex as all reactors are involved.
Geophysical impact
The quake moved parts of northeast Japan as much as  closer to North America, making parts of Japan's land "wider than before," according to geophysicist Ross Stein.
Areas of Japan closest to the epi-center shifted the most.
The Pacific plate itself may have moved westwards by up to .
Other estimates put the amount of slippage at as much as , covering an area some  long by  wide.
If confirmed, this would be one of the largest recorded fault movements to have been associated with an earthquake.
According to Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, the earthquake shifted the Earth's axis by .
This deviation led to a number of small planetary changes, including the length of a day and the tilt of the Earth.
The speed of the Earth's rotation increased, shortening the day by 1.8 microseconds due to the redistribution of Earth's mass.
The axial shift was caused by the redistribution of mass on the Earth's surface, which changed the planet's moment of inertia.
Due to the conservation of angular momentum, such changes of inertia result in small changes to the Earth's rate of rotation.
These are expected changes for an earthquake of this magnitude.
The Tōhoku Expressway, which serves northern Japan, had to be closed due to cracks on the roads.
The whole railway network was closed, but was reopened hours after the earthquake.
Up to 100,000 people were stuck waiting for a ride straight out of the city.
In response to the great disaster, Emperor Akihito directly addressed his subjects in a television broadcast.
This was the first time any emperor had used television in this way.
Other help
There were other people from other countries helping people after this disaster.
For example, Google set up a people finder service, which allowed users to ask for or post information about missing people.

Lea Michele Sarfati (born August 29, 1986), known by her stage name Lea Michele, is an American actress and singer.
Michele began working as a child actress on Broadway in shows like Ragtime and Les Misérables.
She was the first person to play the character Wendla in the musical Spring Awakening and now plays Rachel Berry in the Fox television series Glee.
Michele was born in the Bronx, New York City, in 1986.
Her mother is Edith Sarfati, a nurse, and her father is Marc Sarfati, a deli owner.
Michele's mother is Italian American and Roman Catholic, while her father is a Spanish Sephardic Jew.
Michele grew up in New York City and Tenafly, New Jersey.
She went to Rockland County Day School  for elementary school in New York and then Tenafly High School.
Michele was home schooled one year while working in Toronto Canada on Ragtime.
She went to Stagedoor Manor in the Catskills, a performing arts training center.
She was then later accepted to the CAP21 program at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, but instead continued working on stage.
At eight years old, Michele went with a friend to an open casting call for a musical.
She decided on a whim she wanted to try out.
She was offered the part and made her debut on Broadway in 1995 as a replacement in the role of Young Cosette in the New York City showing of Les Misérables.
Then, in 1998, she played Tateh's daughter, the Little Girl, in the original Broadway cast of Ragtime.
In 2004, Michele played Shprintze and Chava in the Broadway revival of the musical Fiddler on the Roof.
She also sang on the 2003 Broadway revival cast recording of Fiddler on the Roof.
She played the role of Wendla in Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik's musical version of Spring Awakening, starring in early workshops to Off-Broadway and finally playing the role in the Broadway production at the age of 20.
Around the same time that the show was set to go to Broadway, she was offered the role of Eponine in the Broadway revival of Les Misérables.

During a visit to Switzerland in 1961, Beyti Güler was inspired by the renowned butcher Möller's way of preparing meat.
When he returned home, he introduced a dish consisting of roasted lamb fillets wrapped in strips of lamb cutlet fat.
It came to be named after him when the kebap's fame spread all over the world.
Beyti is a restaurant in Istanbul, Turkey.
It was opened in 1945 in the neighbourhood of Küçükçekmece.
It is owned and managed by Beyti Güler.
The restaurant specialises in traditional Turkish food, particularly roasted meat.
Beyti Güler is descended from Turkic people who fled from Samarkand to Crimea in the 1720s.
In the 1870s, after the Crimean War, the family moved to Romania, then part of the Ottoman Empire.
The family immigrated to Turkey in 1935.
In 1945 Beyti and his father opened a small roadside meat restaurant of 30 m² with four tables in the suburbs of Istanbul.
The restaurant only had 20 seats, but became popular  soon after opening.
Many came for the döner kebap that was rarely available elsewhere.
An article published in 1965 in the New York Herald Tribune led to international fame.
From 1966 to 1974, the restaurant catered daily to four Pan Am airliners.
The restaurant served U.S. President Richard Nixon aboard Air Force One during his first official trip to Europe, an opportunity that helped the Turkish kebap (grill) dishes become renowned.

In mathematics, an operation is a function which takes one or more inputs (called operands) and produces an output.
Some of the most common operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, all of which take two inputs and produce an output.
These are called binary operations, and are often used when solving math problems.
Other types of operations are called unary operations, which take only one input and produce an output.
Below is a list of the most used operations.
List of mathematical operations
Addition is the first arithmetic operation and hyperoperation.
It is the inverse operation of subtraction.
The terms in an addition are called addends, and the result of an addition is called a sum.
The symbol for addition is +
Examples of additions:
Any number plus zero is the same number ().
This is called the additive identity.
Changing the order of the addends in an addition does not change its sum.
This is called the commutative property of addition.
Changing how addends are grouped in an addition does not change its sum either.
This is called the associative property of addition.
Additive inverses (opposites)
The opposite of a number  is .
A number  plus its opposite  is always equal to 0:
For example, the opposite of 5 is -5, because
The absolute value of two opposite numbers is always the same.
Subtraction is the second arithmetic operation and the inverse operation of addition.
The number that is being subtracted is the subtrahend and the number it is subtracted from is the minuend.
The result of a subtraction is called a difference.
The symbol for subtraction is −
Examples of subtractions:
Because of the additive identity, any number minus zero is the same number ().
In a subtraction of two terms, switching the minuend and the subtrahend changes the sign of the answer, meaning subtraction is anticommutative.
For example:  and
Multiplication is the third arithmetic operation and the second hyperoperation.
It is the inverse operation of division.
The terms in a multiplication are called factors, and the result of a multiplication is called a product.
Multiplication is repeated addition.
The symbol for multiplication is × (• in algebra)
Examples of multiplications:
Any number times one is the same number ().
This is called the multiplicative identity.
Changing the order of the factors in a multiplication does not change its product.
This is called the commutative property of multiplication.
Changing how factors are grouped in a multiplication does not change its product either.
This is called the associative property of multiplication.
Multiplicative inverses (reciprocals)
The reciprocal of a number  is .
A number  times its reciprocal  is always equal to 1:
For example, the reciprocal of 3 is 1/3, because
To get the reciprocal of a fraction, switch the numerator and the denominator: the reciprocal of  is
Division is the fourth arithmetic operation and the inverse operation of multiplication.
The number that is being divided is the dividend and the number it is divided by is the divisor.
The number on top of a fraction is called the numerator and the number at the bottom is called the denominator.
The result of a division is called a quotient.
Division is repeated subtraction.
The symbol for division is / or a fraction.
