If you are melting chocolate, for candy making or some other such purpose, you can use a double boiler to keep the chocolate at a consistent temperature and keep it from burning.
A double boiler is a specialized piece of kitchen equipment consisting of two fitted saucepans. The larger saucepan is partially filled with water brought to a simmer or boil. The inner saucepan uses this indirect heat to melt chocolate, cook custards and sauces, or even melt wax for candle making.
A poor man's version is to take a metal mixing bowl and float it over a pot of boiling water.
