Because double boilers generate so little heat, you will most likely need to cut whatever you are heating into smaller pieces. This is to speed up the cooking/heating process. If the items you are heating already come in smaller chunks, you will not need to cut them up. Examples of smaller items include: chocolate chips, melting chocolate disks, shaved soap, and wax pellets. Try to spread the items out evenly across the bottom so that everything gets the same amount of heat. You want the water in your large pot to simmer, not boil, unless the recipe or project instructs otherwise. You can use a spatula, whisk, or wooden spoon. By stirring the contents, you are making sure that everything gets heated evenly. If you do not do this, some parts may end up undercooked while others might end up getting scorched or burnt. If the water level in your large pot is less than one inch (2.54 centimeters) at any point, you will need to add more water. This will allow the water to continue turning into steam and heating your items. Simply lift the upper pot or bowl off your large pot and add some water until you have about two or three inches (5.08 to 7.62 centimeters), and set the upper pot or bowl back down. Once the items have reached the desired consistency, remove the upper pot and pour the contents to a container or mold. If you have made your own double boiler, your upper container may not have a handle; be sure to use a glove or potholder to protect your hand from getting burned.

Summary: Cut the items you are heating into smaller chunks. Place the items you are heating in the upper pot or bowl. Turn on the stove and start heating the water. Stir the items as they begin to melt. Add more water as needed. Transfer the items to a container or mold.


Spotting a broken or fractured bone can be difficult.  To do so, look for areas that are swollen, particularly on the dog's legs.  There is often swelling around the break.  If the dog is moving around or walking, observe it to determine whether or not it is moving any part of its body unusually.  For example, is the dog holding one leg at an odd angle?  Or is one of its legs shaped differently than the others?  These can all be signs of a bone injury. If the dog has a broken bone from the accident, it is important that you touch it as little as possible.  Don't ever try to reset the bone—this should only be done by a professional. Depending on the severity of the break and the size of the dog, you may be able to get the dog to a vet without splinting the injury first.  If the dog is small enough, you can hold it, allowing the injured extremity to hang free.  If the dog is larger and will not lay still, however, you may need to make a splint for the injury before taking it to the vet. Most bone injuries are not life-threatening, but immobilizing the injury can help prevent complications.  To create a splint, find a solid, straight object, like a stick or piece of wood that is long enough to extend past the joints above and below the break.  Place one of the sticks or pieces of wood on each side of the broken bone and secure them in place by wrapping or tying a cloth or rope around them. If you think the dog might have a broken neck or back, it is best to wait for animal control to arrive and assist you in treating the dog.  If you have to move the dog, however, do so with as little movement as possible.  Try to find a flat, hard surface, like a large board, to transport the dog on.

Summary: Check for bone injuries. Don't try to reset the injury. Transport the dog with as little movement as possible. Make a splint. Use caution if you suspect a broken neck or back.
