Bain Marie:
Literally it means "Mary's bath." It's a heated bath. It can be done on top of the stove (that's a double boiler) or in the oven. In this case, we will do it in the oven. Once we have prepared the meatloaf we will cook it in a heated bath. We'll put a pan of water in the oven and rest the meatloaf pan in the pan of water as it cooks.
