Double Boiler 2 Quart Polished Stainless Steel



A terrific DB for the money
I bought this because I saw it highly praised by reviewers on another website. I use it primarily for sauces, including Hollandaise Sauce. I wasn't disappointed.

It's very well constructed, especially considering the low price. It's the right size, the clear lid is handy, it's easy to clean, and the bottom half of the boiler can be used, with the lid, as an ordinary pot.

I've used it for about three months now and it has been ideal for my sauces.

Works very well
The product worked very well for melting chocolate which is why I bought it. The temperature on the stove can be turned very far down since the design has close tolerances and does not allow hardly any steam to escape unless too much pressure is built up. The solid metal design is very sturdy. The bottom pot I used as a saucepan a few times and it worked great, but I would be hesitant to use the top one as such since it has a very thin bottom (in order to easily transfer heat for melting chocolate or heating sauces). Overall I am very pleased with the quality and price of this item.

Great everyday saucepan
Bought this because we broke the glass lid on our last one. Use the lower half saucepan (with the lid) several times a year for general use (soups etc.) and the top for seasonal sauces and chocolate.
Handle is an open tube (comfortable, easy cleaning) spot welded to pan. Bottom is multi-layered for good heat distribution. Shows some discoloration after several years of use. Top half has a flat bottom with more rounded sides that a wisk can more easily reach.
