Bain-Marie

a tip? or already well known info?

ANYWAYS - New to me!

We all know the traditional water bath for baking cheesecakes and custards etc... fill a pan partway with hot water, in the pan is the baking good wrapped well with aluminum or whatevs to keep water out.

I learned this other way!

Set a kitchen towel on baking sheet... SATURATE with hot water... set baking item right on the wet towel and bake. TA-DA! A water bath without the risk of unfortunate water splashage!
