If i translated this french words in English, it's called=water bath?/ bath-mary? (German=Wasserbad/French=au bain marie).

Au bain marie is like Double Boiler, a bain-marie is a method of cooking without using direct heat. It usually consists of two saucepans that fit together. The bottom sauce pan is filled with water and the top one with the mixture (custard, chocolate, etc.). Make sure the bottom of the bowl or pan doesn't come in contact with the water below. The saucepans can be made from stainless steel, aluminum, and glass.

Melt the chocolate over a hot water bath until it reaches a temperature between 88°F and 90°F (31° to 34°C). Melt white and milk chocolate to a temperature approximately 2°F less, depending on the amount of milk fat they contain. The ideal temperature of the workshop should be approximately 68°F (20°C).

Alternate Methods to melt Chocolate:
1) In a double boiler: Explanation see above.
2) Microwave Method: Place one ounce of more of finely chopped chocolate or chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium (50 percent) checking every 10 - 15 seconds. When it is about 85 % done, take it out and stir and the rest of the chocolate will melt.
3) In an oven: Place chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl and place it in an very low heat preheated oven. Chocolate will mealt in about an hour.
