Product Description
Nordicware's Universal Double Boiler Insert fits 1 to 4 quarts pans, is made of heat conducting aluminum, and features a durable non-stick coating for easy release and clean-up. Unlike a stainless steel or glass bowl, the universal double boiler has ridges that seat it securely in each size pan. This means it doesn't dangerously wobble around, and you don't have to hold it in place. Like all quality Nordicware products its made in the USA and carries a 5 year warranty against workmanship and defects.
Amazon.com Review
Cleverly design with a series of concentric grooves, this conical double boiler insert fits any pot or pan that's 6 to 9 inches in diameter or 1 to 4 quarts in capacity. The double boiler itself holds 2 quarts. Designed for gently heating delicate sauces or for melting cheese or chocolate, the boiler is made of aluminum and has a nonstick interior so it easily releases foods and cleans effortlessly. One of its handles has a hole for easy hanging on a pot rack. The double boiler carries a 5-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

 Bigger than it looks... June 30, 2008
Great cooking tool. My only warning is, it is much bigger than it looks (almost a full foot across at the wings). You're going to need a wide pan to use this with!
 Hard to Scrape Out Broiler Pan May 7, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this pan because it got some good reviews and despite my sense that the ridges might make it hard to scrape any melted chocolate/butter out of it. I thought I perhaps hadn't understood just how it fits into a pan. Alas! My initial impressions were correct. Melted chocolate IS hard to scrape out of the pan; and, invariably, some gets trapped in the ridges and remains in the pan. I think it's good to have at least one pan like this for traveling and for moments when a regular double broiler is in use. However, I'd be happier with it if the price were much, much lower. By the time one adds shipping, a lot of money has been invested in a product that really could be much better.
Great Product September 24, 2006

This thing is great - it works well and heats quickly; it generally doesn't get too hot, so you can hold the lip while stirring; it's lightweight and easy to clean; it's got a hole punched in the lip so you can hang it on your pot rack when you're done with it. Sure, it's not as sturdy as a double boiler, but it more than makes up for that in the above features, and I find it just as easy to use.
Super buy! March 22, 2006

Talk about a perfect idea! Instead of having a dedicated double boiler for the infrequent sauces which need it, buy this. Works good, costs little, easy clean-up. Of course, if you WANT to have a REAL double boiler stored in your cupboard 99% of the time, taking up room, don't buy this!
 Hard to use April 1, 2004
25 out of 25 found this review helpful
This is supposed to be a universal double boiler, but it's hard to use because it fits no pan well -- making it hard to stir, and giving you a limited "surface area" for use. Also, due to it's curved bottom, it won't stand up on its own if you remove it from the "boiling" pan (to set beside you as you mold candy, etc.)
