3. Place the food item (e.g., chocolate, delicate sauce, custard) into the smaller, inner pot.
4. Carefully place the inner pot into the outer pot.
5. Apply heat to the outer pot. For stovetop use, set the burner to low to medium heat. For oven use, preheat the oven to the desired temperature.
6. Monitor the water level in the outer pot and replenish with hot water if necessary to prevent it from boiling dry.
7. Use a thermometer to ensure the food reaches and maintains the desired temperature.
