A bain Marie is either a double saucepan the bottm one filled with water the top one used to warm food and sauces through gently, or a large roast pan half filled with hot water used for cooking things like creme brulee and creme caramel in the oven

Also restaurants often use industrial sized bain-maries - a large water bath with 6-12 metal dishes to keep food hot without scorching or drying out (in theory).
