Product Description

Some of the most luscious things in the world are made possible by double boilers. We're thinking chocolate ganache, caramel cream frosting, almond butter crunch candy, and the list goes on. Heating in a double boiler allows you more control over temperature and therefore helps prevent scorching or accidental boiling.

Amazon.com Review
Suitable for use with any 8-inch-diameter pot or pan, this beautiful, heavy, durable double boiler specifically fits into the 3-, 4-, and 5-quart saucepans and casserole pans in All-Clad's cookware collections. The exterior has a mirror finish and the interior is highly polished so it's naturally stick-resistant. A rolled edge facilitates dripless pouring. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel handle is riveted to the insert for strength, grooved on the top and rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on a hook or peg. The long handle stays cool on the stovetop. Although the insert is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. Like all All-Clad cookware, cook's tools, and kitchen accessories, it carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews

Doesn't fit my All-Clad pots!
I would have been delighted with this double boiler insert (despite the groove noted by previous reviewers) if it had performed as expected. I own three All-Clad LTD pots I should have been able to use it with : 3 quart, 4 quart and 5 quart. The insert doesn't fit the pots precisely or snugly; it slips and tips when set onto the pots. Obviously, this makes it unsafe as well as unusable. Since I agree with some reviewers that the qualty is inferior to All-Clad products produced in the USA, I guess it may be that the items produced in China are not really a good match with the original items produced before recent globalization of the company. Maybe I just got a bad one, but a previous reviewer mentioned the same problem. For an item of that price from a company with the reputation of All-Clad, this is inexcusable.

Great for hollandaise !
Very pleased with our double boiler insert. We have a lot of All-Clad pots and pans and have always found them to be of the best quality. The insert is up to standard.

It fits many of our pots perfectly and is very useable.

Hollandaise will never have to burn while using this.

Excellent Pot
Extremely well made, heats evenly and slowly, and fits my 3 qt pot with a precise seal. I've even used it directly on the burner when I was cooking multiple courses. Love it!
