What is Bain Marie?

Assalamualaikum... 

I had a blast in the library last Monday.. wow.. in the library? Do they have roller coaster in there? hehe.. No.. I just love to be surrounded by thousands of books.. especially books with a lot of beautiful pictures since I'm not really like too many words in one page.. haha

Considering myself as a newbie in cooking world, I came across new word when I browsed a recipe book and this word will be added into my CookiNg with L.O.V.E vocabulary. hehe..
Can I have a drumroll please? hehehe .... and the word is: 'Bain Marie'.

Bain Marie is a cooking technique whereby a container of ingredients is placed in shallow bath of warm water. This method is used in cooking dishes like custards or melting chocolates. 

Also known as a water bath. Oh, I know this.. but this is something new for me to know the other term of it.. and it in French.. (again) A lot of people like french words.. hehe
