Customer questions about this product

How can I properly care for this aluminum item?

Hand washing is always the best option to ensure that your aluminum stays in best working order. However, if you decide to clean these in a dishwasher, we strongly recommend using metal-safe detergents and sanitizers to eliminate any flaking or tarnishing that could occur from some harsher cleaners.

What's the difference between a riveted and a welded handle?

A riveted handle is connected by small metal pieces (called rivets) that are crushed between the handle and the pan body to attach them together. This type of handle is more common on copper and aluminum cookware.

For a handle to be welded, the metal must first be melted and then adhered to the pan body. This creates a strong bond that leaves little to no space in between, so bacteria and other food crumbs can’t collect and cause sanitation issues. Both are long lasting solutions for fry and sauce pan handles because they are durable and can withstand heat.

This is a nice set for easily melting chocolate in large batches!!! Nice for slowly melting mixtures with cheese or dairy products to prevent curdling!!

These double boilers do serve the purpose, but unfortunately the lids don't at all fit. If you need a tight seal, I would look elsewhere.

Great for soups, stews, and chili. This large pot has plenty of volume, which we need for our signature chili during cold winter months. Strong and sturdy and easy to clean.

My manager recently purchased this pot for me to use in our operation. I used it last week for the first time. I prepared chicken Marsala sauce that required cooking for a few hours. The heat distribution was very good, and the sauce tasted perfect. The cream in the sauce did not scorch due to the double boiler which was awesome. Can’t wait to start making soups in the fall!

I bought this to make fudge in large batches. It works well for getting everything melted but I can't reach the 123 degree mark to finish the fudge so in order to finish the fudge I remove the inner pan and put it on direct heart for a little to finish up.

All of the canning supplies in the box stores did not seem like durable, long lasting products. So, I decided to find something on my own that could serve the same purpose. I found this double boiler that can handle the volume of my batches, will stand the test of time, and is deep enough for my water baths. I’m just waiting on the 10 1/2" Round Steamer Rack to come back in stock and I’ll be all set.

Works great for soaps and chilli so that they are ready when needed. Just have to make sure you allow enough time to get it up to temp.

I love this double boiler. It is so much more functional than a double boiler. I often times am using both pieces in tandem, one for sauce and the other for noodles. However I know that when needed it doubles as a double boiler. If I was to purchase a Wedding gift or a piece for someone who was a starting cook this would be the item. Too Functional!!!! I would be lost without it now that I am use to it!!!

I'm very impressed with the 8 quart Aluminum Double Boiler. It is a very sturdy product, well made and solidly constructed. I have a smaller double boiler, but I got tired of making multiple small batches... now I can easily get it all done in one pot!!

This 12 quart double boiler is perfect to heat chocolate in. Just be careful because the side handles and lid can get very hot and burn.
