Kurumi peered around Jezz when
the item was revealed and recognized it almost instantly. It was slightly different looking than the one she had used to make cheese cake and custards - this one looking MUCH more elaborate and fancy than what she had at home - but there was no doubt in the Gryffindor's mind as to what it was. "
This one is a Bain-marie," she semi announced to anyone that was nearby, and not just her own table. "
I've used it to make cheesecakes and custards, sometimes to melt chocolate as well." In case anyone was wondering why she knew what this thing was. It related to baking. "
It requires the use of water and it is used to heat things gradually towards a fixed temperature and does so very gently. That's why it is best for custards. It is also used to keep things warm." Like custards. She could go into more details about how the device was constructed and what each of the parts did, but Kurumi sort of felt like perhaps that was unnecessary information, for now. Heating things gradually...keeping things warm...surely there was some sort of symbol that related to that, yes?
