13 best double boiler pots

Double boiler pots, also known as double boilers or bain-maries, are essential kitchen tools used for delicate cooking tasks that require gentle heat. These pots consist of two separate pans: a smaller one that fits inside a larger one. The smaller pot sits on top of the larger one, and the bottom pot is filled with water. This design allows the food in the upper pot to be heated indirectly by the steam generated from the boiling water in the lower pot.

Double boilers are commonly used for melting chocolate, making custards, sauces, and delicate desserts such as cheesecake or lemon curd. The indirect heat prevents the food from coming into direct contact with the heat source, reducing the risk of burning or curdling. This method is especially useful when working with heat-sensitive ingredients like chocolate, which can easily seize or scorch if exposed to direct heat.

Double boiler pots come in various materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, and ceramic. Stainless steel and aluminum double boilers are popular choices due to their durability and even heat distribution.Some models also feature a non-stick coating for easy cleanup. The pots typically have a handle on each side for convenient lifting and pouring.

When using a double boiler, it's important to ensure that the water in the bottom pot doesn't touch the bottom of the upper pot. Maintaining a gentle simmer is usually sufficient to provide the necessary heat for most recipes. Double boilers are versatile tools that contribute to precise and controlled cooking, making them a valuable addition to any kitchen.

User questions & answers

Question: Is the inside non-stick
Answer: If you are asking whether there are two pots and a lid, the answer is "yes". The top pan holds a bit more than one quart. When I poured in a quart of water, there was about an inch of space to the top. However, when filling the bottom pot, is did not hold quite two quarts. I had about 1/2 cup of water left over. This is not an issue for me as I wanted a double boiler and do not use the pots singly. The lid fits on both pots snugly. I have used this pot for making fudge, melting chocolate, and frosting, and I am completely happy with it. I am not sure the bottom of either pot is heavy enough to cook things other than liquids. I use double & triple clads for heavier foods. The stainless steel cleans up well.Hope this helps.
Question: does this work on an induction stove top
Answer: Short answer: No. Longer answer/reason: Induction cooking requires "ferromagnetic" (iron-based magnetic) cookware. Stainless steel 18/10 is iron-based, because the alloy is based on steel, but the numbers "18/10" refer to 18% chromium and 10% nickel in the alloy. Adding chromium makes it "stainless" and adding nickel makes it nonmagnetic. "Stainless steel 18/0" is magnetic (because it contains no nickel) and will work on an induction cooktop, but 18/10 is a much better grade of stainless steel. Some cookware is "stainless steel clad," meaning the stainless steel covers both sides of a different metal on the bottom. The bottom of this pot has an aluminum "core," which means the stainless steel is "clad" over a disk of aluminum. Aluminum is used on the bottom because it transfers heat much better than stainless steel, but since it is also nonmagnetic, it will not make it "induction ready." Some stainless steel clad cookware has a "core" of regular steel, which is magnetic, and those would be able to be used on an induction cooktop. For example, this one specifically states "induction ready": http://www.webstaurantstore.com/8-qt-stainless-steel-clad-double-boiler/922SDB8.html?utm_source=Amazon In general, if a magnet sticks to the bottom of a pot, it can be used on an induction cooktop; if it doesn't, it can't.Comment on other responses: Why are people who don't know the answer to a question compelled to "answer" the question with "I don't know" or worse, "I have no idea what you're talking about"? MILLIONS of people don't know the answer to the question, but you don't see them all of THEM chiming in with "I don't know," do you? Clue: If you don't know the answer to a question, simply DON'T RESPOND. Posting a nonsensical response does not help the questioner, and you're only broadcasting to the world how ignorant you are!
Question: Does this set consist of a 1qt saucepan(top) and a 2qt saucepan(bottom
Answer: The handles on the pot do get hot when using. The lid handle does not. It’s a nice pot; I’ve been happy with it.
Question: Will this work on induction stovetop
Answer: The width is 10" and the height is 16"

Question: Is the bottom highly polished stainless steel and perfectly smooth; no markings on the bottom? Have to use on ceramic and has to be completely smooth. Thanks
Answer: This pot can be used as a cooking pot but it's not a very heavy one. I use mine pretty often and I'm happy with it.
Question: Are these induction ready
Answer: Poor quality, do not recommend.
Question: Can these be used as regular cooking pots
Answer: This is more for melting chocolate and it's quite small.
Question: Does it work for induction cook tops
Answer: I don't think so. In the instructions, it states that it can not touch the hot water and it has to be above the water . Chocolate melts only due to steam. If it can not be placed on water, it definitely can not be put on the stove. If it can be put on the stove why use this? A small sauce can be used ...right?

This one can be resting on any standard sauce pan with hot water, this double boiler tool would rest on it (note the hook on the opposite side of the handle) well above the water level.

User questions & answers

Question: Can this steam rice
Answer: I've never done rice in this pan, but I have cooked rice in pans before. Its a 2 to 1 ratio, 2 cups water to 1 cup rice (as opposed to a rice cooker which is 1:1) and you might have to vent the lid a little bit because the vent hole is pretty small, careful it can get messy. If you're asking is the steamer basket able to cook rice, my opinion is no because the holes of the basket are too large for rice. This is by far one of my favorite pots, I use it everyday!
Question: is this induction ready
Answer: The 3rd picture shows a coil, which is the symbol for induction as someone already said.SS by itself is not induction ready as SS is not magnetic. Usually manufacturers will put a metal bottom on SS pans to make them induction ready.
Question: Do the handles become very hot during cooking
Answer: pot holders for the handles are needed, yes; maybe moreso for gas flame than electric but better to be safe than sorry
Question: There are two tiers, however, one with holes, the other does not. If the other one does not have holes, how can the steam go through and function well
Answer: You only use one tier at a time on top of the base pan. When you want to steam, you use the pan with holes and place it on top of the base pan. When you want a double boiler for making sauces, you use the pan without holes over the base and leave the tier with holes off. Not designed to use all three tiers at once.
