Just What I Was Looking ForI love All-Clad and had wanted a double boiler set with a ceramic (not stainless) insert. This arrived quickly and in pristine condition ... carefully packaged, complete with a cloth cover for the pan. I've used it once to make custard. Turned out great BUT I realize the ceramic insert does such a good job of keeping the heat down, that it took me longer to make than I'm used to (took longer to thicken as ceramic doesn't get as hot as steel).
Having said that, this is a great buy and I'm so glad I found it. Will do wonders for ensuring I don't ruin sauces by overheating.
Love it. Well worth the purchase.
High QualityPro: high quality and manufactured in USA. Very happy with performance of porcelain boiler; little water loss during double boiling at med-high temp.
Con: Expensive; no water-level mark on sauce pan for double boiler use - but 3 cups of water is just right.
excellent double boilerI had another double boiler before this, but got an induction cooktop and that one was incompatible. This is excellent quality. It actually takes longer to cook the custard I think because the thick porcelain is providing such protection.
