T-fal Specialty Nonstick Double Boiler 3 Quart Oven Safe 350F Cookware, Pots and Pans, Dishwasher Safe Silver/Black

This is an excellent double boiler. I had some concerns because of some of the negative comments. When I got the pan, I was surprised at its size. It's big. It's bigger than the pan I was replacing. I poured two quarts of water into the upper pan and had an inch to spare. This is a two-quart pan, even though some reviews said it wasn't. The upper pan has an indentation an inch from the bottom that keeps it from falling into the lower pan. So, yes, food can get into the indentation. So what? I use the double boiler to make sticky steel-cut oats that wash out easily. There was also a comment that the upper pan only left an inch of space for water in the bottom pan. Not true. The bottom pan is four inches deep and the top pan only takes an inch of space. Both pieces fit together nicely. They're snug enough to prevent too much steam to escape but not so tight that they stick together. Several comments were that the upper pan isn't coated. That's exactly why I bought it. I don't want coating in my food. The pan washes well without being coated. I recommend this double boiler and have nothing bad to say about it.

The quality is very good and capacity is twice what most double boilers listed on Amazon can handle.I use it to melt and then strain bees wax, harvested from Langstoth frames, using a crush and strain method. I can process the wax from 5 "deep" Langstroth frames (after pressing the wax in a fruir press to remove almost all of the honey).My wife makes fudge and chocolate pie filling...and we may need to buy another one of these for those purposes.

This worked perfect for me. I bought it to melt some chocolate for Oreo balls. The top pan is a little on the thin side but I might only use it once or twice a year. I think if you plan to use if often, you may want to go with something more heavy duty. It's true, the top doesn't seem non stick but I also had no issues cleaning it. And, it does have a lip in the top pan so that it will fit down in the bottom pan without falling in, but the groove is large enough to clean with a regular sponge and the chocolate melted just fine without any issues. It is larger than I realized though. Most double boilers are 2 qt and this one is 3 so just factor that in. Overall, it's a very basic double boiler but for lightweight use I think it's worth the money.

Listen, this is NOT a steamer and nor should the top part be used as a stand alone pot to cook with. You can see in the detail photos that the top pan has a groove in it. That is there for one specific reason and that is to hold it into place. Stop giving products bad reviews because you are not capable of reading the product details, description or look at the photos in the ad box.They are not falsely advertising this product whatsoever. It does a pretty good job to be honest. Yes the top part is a bit thin but I've already used it to make shampoo bars and it worked just like it should have. It is a nice size and is pretty durable, especially for soap or shampoo making. I had absolutely no problem with heat while using it and it is very eye appealing. The Handle seems to be well made as well. If I had it to do over, yes I would buy this again.

The top is stainless steel and the bottom is non stick. I don't need a double boiler very often but when I do I find it so cumbersome to use a bowl over a pot. It's hard to safely remove the bowl when it's hot or full of hot liquid. Sometimes you have to check the water level and add more water. I like the handles on these and the lid is very nice. The lid is glass and has a vent hole. The whole set is nice. It's lightweight too and made of a light gauged stainless steel. I will be making yogurt in this and maybe chocolate candy and more. The last time I made yogurt with a bowl, I decided to get this. It's much better to have something that is easier to use and safer.It looks nice too.It's later now and I made yogurt in this. It went faster than usual because of the thin stainless steel but my yogurt turned out perfect. Next time I'll lower the heat and go a little slower even though it was the perfect consistency and turned out great.Most importantly, I got to safely removed the top part to check the water level which was great!
