Double boilers are invaluable for melting chocolate or cooking easily scorched foods like milk or cream. With a rounded design that is uniquely shaped to fit 2-, 3- and 4-quart saucepans, this universal double boiler features professional-quality 18/10 stainless-steel construction that won't discolor, react with food, or alter flavors. The boiler's solid stainless-steel riveted handle stays cool on the stovetop, its tight-fitting lid seals in flavors and nutrients, and its tapered rim ensures drip-free pouring. A useful and attractive piece for any busy kitchen, the boiler's mirror finish retains its brightness through dishwasher, broiler, and oven use up to 550 degrees F. For superior, even heating, an aluminum disk is encapsulated between two layers of stainless steel in the base. The universal double boiler measures approximately 8 by 3 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty.
