we call a water bath . It consists of placing a container
(baking pan, bowl, soufflé dish, etc.) of food in a large,
shallow pan of warm water, which surrounds the food with gentle
heat. The food may be cooked in this manner either in an oven
or on top of a range. This technique is designed to cook delicate
dishes such as custards, sauces and mousses without breaking
or curdling them. It can also be used to keep cooked foods warm.

Bake Blind (also called blind
baking) - A term for
baking a pastry shell (pie crust) before it is filled. There
are two methods used. 1. The unbaked shell is first pricked all
over with a fork to prevent it from blistering and rising and
then baked. 2. The unbaked shell is lined with foil or parchment
paper, then filled with dried beans or rice, clean pebbles (a
French practice) or specialty pie weights made of metal or ceramic.
The weights and foil or parchment paper should be removed a few
minutes before the baking time is over to allow the crust to
brown evenly.
