A double boiler can be also called a water bath when it’s important to prepare more heat sensitive contents, such as hollandaise sauce or chocolate coating. It can be prepared using a small or medium sauce pan along with a medium mixing bowl. The mixing bowl can be glass, stainless steel, or ceramic (as long as it fits on top of your sauce pan).

A more comfortable, but also most expensive option would be a precise heat mixing bowl attachment for your KitchenAid (see section “Additional KitchenAid Attachments” here).
