Accessories: Editorial Review: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Bigger than it looks...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! Rating:  - Hard to Scrape Out Broiler PanI 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 ...

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. Rating: - Super buy!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! Rating:  - Hard to useThis 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.) |
