Works great... if you need this equipment
Cuisinart Multiclad is a superior line of cookware - I've been collecting pieces for a while now. I have no complaints about the double boiler (which rests comfortably in a variety of Cuisinart pots, and possibly others.) It works great, has a generous capacity and comfortable handle, and cleans up like a dream.
That said, it's really easy to make your own double boiler at home, using a heavy sauce pan plus a durable glass or steel mixing bowl that rests comfortably on top, never touching the boiling water underneath. If you have all of this equipment, you probably don't need to purchase this piece. If you decide you want a dedicated double boiler, then this is a fine choice.
Good Product
Good product.
Effective double boiler - used for candies and chocolates so far.
I wondered how easily the stainless steel would clean up - but it does clean up very well and easily.
