Enjoy the benefit of a nonstick saucepan and a stainless steel double boiler with this specialty piece. A double boiler insert holds food above boiling water, protecting it from the harsh direct heat of a burner. A double boiler may be used to melt chocolate, prepare a delicate sauce such as hollandaise, or for making custard. Made of stainless steel, this insert is designed to withstand the use of metal whisks.
