Summary: Horribly cheap construction quality
Comment: I was very disappointed with this double boiler. I purchased one, used it twice, and on the second use, the lower handle simply snapped off as I tried to lift it off the counter. On closer inspection, it appears the handle is held on with four tiny rivets. One of the four was rusted, and the handle snapped right off, sending milk all over my kitchen. Even if it hadn't been rusted, you can tell from looking at those rivets that the handle wouldn't have stood up to years of use. It's just a shoddily made double boiler. Look elsewhere, is my advice.

Summary: Works Perfectly
Comment: I love Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal for breakfast. I have always detested the clean-up afterwards because the oatmeal sticks to the pot like cement. My quest for a solution led me to purchase this excellent little double boiler. It is stamped from sheet steel and while it is Not Teflon coated, it is non-stick. The coating has allowed me to clean the pot of oatmeal in a few minutes, so I have achieved the result I wanted. The pot must be used with wooden spoons or some other non destructive, read that Non-metal tool, like maybe silicone. I use a wooden spoon and it does no damage to the coating on the pot. I would have paid far more to get the result, so I feel this little Double Boiler is a true bargain. It also will not tip when empty from the weight of the handles, a flaw I have seen in other double boiler combinations. I recommend this simple piece of inexpensive cookware because it absolutely works as advertised.

Summary: Perfect for the job!
Comment: I bought this for the sole purpose of melting cheese for homemade mac & cheese and it works beautifully. The design is elegant and sturdy. It cleans up like a dream...even after melting notoriously sticky cheese! It stacks and stores neatly in one piece as well. It's deeper than I expected and held 16 oz of shredded cheese, 4 oz of cream cheese, 4 oz of velvetta and 12 oz of evaporated milk with no problem at all, leaving plenty of room to stir without making a mess. I will definitely get a lot of use out of this! If a double-boiler is what you are looking for, you can't go wrong with this one.

Summary: Absolute Must for any baker!
Comment: I'd been wanting one for a while, and I was so glad my husband got me one for my birthday, especially after the Christmas fiasco I had. I needed to melt chocolate for dipping peanut butter balls, so I tried using one small saucepan over a bigger one. Twice water splashed in and the chocolate seized up and made impossible to work with. No need to worry about it now since the top one fits perfectly on top of the bottom. It works perfectly for melting chocolate and I also use it for making a white cream sauce (basic flour, milk, and butter for mac+cheese and cream soups) and it makes it so the bottom doesn't cook too fast. The pots are good quality and easy to clean.
