KitchenAid Double Boiler - Silver (2 Quart) Review

KitchenAid Double Boiler - Silver (2 Quart)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been looking everywhere for a double boiler and finally found this one at Target. It is very well made, but the insert pan has two small ridges along the inside, making clean up a disaster. The inside should be smooth. I am very disappointed. I was looking for something similar to the old Revere double boiler inserts, which are smooth on the inside. Do not try to melt chocolate with this one-cleaning it up is almost impossible!

Can't say enough about how satisfied we are with this 8 qt double boiler. It's great for preparing and holding any of our soups that we prepare at the restaurant. Locally, double boilers were well beyond what we wanted to pay, so we are very fortunate to find such a great product at a savings. You can't go wrong with this purchase, whether for home or commercial use.

Calphalon Simply Calphalon 2-Quart Small Stainless-Steel Double Boiler Insert Review

Calphalon Simply Calphalon 2-Quart Small Stainless-Steel Double Boiler Insert
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Because I acquired much of my Calphalon cookware collection more than five years ago, I have pasta, steamer, and double boiler inserts that were made from the same hard-anodized aluminum alloy as their pots and pans. Since Calphalon now manufactures these accessories using 18/10 stainless steel, I've begun upgrading my collection. This beautiful 2-quart polished stainless steel double boiler insert is very heavy duty, has a lifetime guarantee, and it fits perfectly into my 2.5-quart Calphalon sauce pan. I place the insert in the sauce pan, which is partially filled with simmering water, to melt Callebaut chocolate for candy-making. I also use it when making Hollandaise, Béarnaise, and Béchamel sauces; and for making custard, pudding, and chocolate mousse. Calphalon also makes a 4-quart stainless steel double boiler insert that works well with their 4.5-quart sauce pan for making larger amounts of sauce or dessert recipes. I hand wash and dry this insert to keep it looking like new. I like the double handles on these Calphalon inserts much better than the one long handle on some other double boiler inserts. Someday I hope to buy a Mauviel French copper and porcelain bain-marie, but until then, I'll be very happy with this one.

Using the double boiler gives you a cushion of safety when cooking easily scorched foods, like chocolate. Without the double boiler, chances are you would have burned some of the chocolate before all of it was melted and that's a situation no cook wants to be in.

BonJour 1.5-Quart All-In-One Double Boiler Review

BonJour 1.5-Quart All-In-One Double Boiler

(More customer reviews)
After using double boilers for years to make steel cut oatmeal, I cannot count how many times it has boiled dry. It is also difficult to clean as most standard double boilers have a groove on the lower pan. This one piece solves all the problems.
1) As the water level lowers it gives of steam that activates a whistle
2) Uses much less water than a conventional double boiler.
3) Real easy to clean.
No complaints what so ever, met and exceeded all my expectations.
The only way to improve it is to supply a lid, it does not come with one.

Fagor Stainless-Steel 2-Quart Double Boiler with Steamer Insert Review

Fagor Stainless-Steel 2-Quart Double Boiler with Steamer Insert
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a well-made, versatile, attractive, almost-"professional" set which, if you look around for sales, offers a good deal for the money (mine was from Macey's, special $39.95).
Although the bottom unit is heavy enough to function nicely as an independant 3 qt. stockpot, the top unit should definitely not be used over direct heat (my only complaint). And I think the well-made glass lid is always a plus over a solid one.
The upper unit and steamer both have 2 qt. capacities. This size is about right for all "double boiling" or for steamimng moderate amounts of food, but might be a little small if you want to steam vegetables, etc. for more than 2 to 3 people on a regular basis.

All Clad Porcelain Double Boiler Review

All Clad Porcelain Double Boiler
Average Reviews:

Not only do you get a useful 2-qt pan, but the porcelain insert can be used separately in the oven (not stove top)--although I'm not sure why you'd want to. The insert is thick and heavy and (most important) is smooth inside with no ridges; the support is a stainless steel band on the outside. The insert is big enough to accommodate most pudding/custard recipes. True, the insert is made in China for All-Clad, but the quality appears to be up to snuff.

MDB-1 Double Boiler Review

MDB-1 Double Boiler
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This little boiler is great for when you need small sizes. My use involves not using the lid, but the fact that the lid is glass helps so I can see what's going on when the pan is covered. The seal of the top pan onto the bottom pan is firm but not too tight so that some steam can escape. I bought this pan to make homemade clotted cream and it is perfect for that because the small size increases the density of the cream layer. It's exactly what I would recommend if you are interested in the art of clotted cream. The top pan does not sit upright when empty and sitting on a flat surface (the handle is too heavy) but that's the only imperfection and it's easy to get around (once you put anything in it, it stays upright). Easily washed in the dishwasher. Recommended!

This is not a "double boiler," but a "double steamer." It has holes in the bottom of the top pan for steaming vegetables. this is not the pan to buy if you want to melt items like chocolate. Amazon was not the first to label this pan incorrectly. The good news is that it was easy to return to Amazon for a full refund.

Average Reviews:

I have been looking for a double boiler. Of course I wanted one that was good quality, but not to pricey. I looked around where I live because I wanted to look at it, but we have really big ones. I was want to use it for candy and making frosting, so you see I just didn't need anything so big. This double boiler is top of the line in quality and the perfect size. I thought the price was a little more than I wanted to spend, but once I received it and used it. I decided it wasn't to high. It was perfect for my frosting and clean up was super easy. I highly recommend this pan. I will also be taking a look at some of Paula Dean's other cookware.

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless Universal Double Boiler with Cover Review

Average Reviews:

Very pleased with the quality. When it arrived, I was surprised at how large it is. Considered sending it back for that reason--Primarily I just want it to reheat single-serving meals (and NOT use a microwave). But then I thought it's not a bad idea to be able to use it for larger servings. I love it. The curved bottom is nice, it's easy to clean and pretty and shiny enough that I hung it in the kitchen.(Which works better than on a shelf as the curved bottom naturally keeps it from staying upright--the photo is deceiving in that regard). Definitely recommend this and all Cuisinart pots & pans.

Cuisinart Multiclad Pro Stainless Universal Double Boiler with Cover Review

Cuisinart Multiclad Pro Stainless Universal Double Boiler with Cover
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Cuisinart Multiclad is a superior line of cookware - I've been collecting pieces for a while now. I have no complaints about the double boiler (which rests comfortably in a variety of Cuisinart pots, and possibly others.) It works great, has a generous capacity and comfortable handle, and cleans up like a dream.
That said, it's really easy to make your own double boiler at home, using a heavy sauce pan plus a durable glass or steel mixing bowl that rests comfortably on top, never touching the boiling water underneath. If you have all of this equipment, you probably don't need to purchase this piece. If you decide you want a dedicated double boiler, then this is a fine choice.

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.

Nordic Ware Universal 8 Cup Double Boiler Fits 2 to 4 Quart Sauce Pans Review

Nordic Ware Universal 8 Cup Double Boiler Fits 2 to 4 Quart Sauce Pans
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For years, I used make-shift pots and pans to double-boil thinking that it isn't worth investing in yet another item that isn't used often but takes up precious kitchen space. My method was clumsy and the process was more like steaming that double-boiling. Since I had different quantities to cook, it was tough to find a double boiler that would fit my different needs and I didn't want to buy several double-boilers.
Then I came across this nice little item and thought that for this price, I couldn't go wrong. Well, I was right for once.
This insert is so practical and beyond versatile!
It holds a variety of things in varying volumes while sitting sturdily in a host of pots. The dome shape allows you to whip up even a small amount of sauce without the ingredients being "lost" as a thin layer on the bottom of a big pot. It cuts down the double-boiling process by more than two-fold. The nice little measurement guidelines help ensure that you are using the right quantity. It is non-stick and cleans without having to scrub. Plus, it hardly takes up any space since it nests nicely in existing pots for storage.
I no longer take a long time and make a mess out of double-boiling. Hollandaise sauces, souffles and fondues are now a cinch to make. I like this so much that I'm picking another one up for a friend. Do your recipes a favor and get this too. You'll earn praises for your culinary speed.

I had been looking, for some time, for a double-boiler to make German rice like my Aunt does. This was a recipe from my grandmother who passed away before I was born. I was very pleased with how easy this was to work with. I really appreciate the classic look and feel of this cookware. It has a good weight and is very easy to clean. Faberware has been around for a long time and I think they really got it right again.
I looked at all your site had to offer and read other reviews also. I want to thank the others that liked this double-boiler...I know I made the right decision with their input.
