Customer Q&AAsk a Question
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.

Both are long lasting solutions for fry and sauce pan handles because they are durable and can withstand heat.
Why is the bottom of this cookware slightly concave?
Vigor Cookware is designed with a very slight concave bottom surface to allow the metal to expand when heating up without warping. This feature allows for the cookware to still be induction-compatible and will ensure optimal operating temperature when in use.

I'm new to homemade cheesemaking and after much research I decided to purchase the 20 Qt Vigor double boiler from Webstaurantstore.com for the thick base, the thick sidewalls and the great price. When I need to maintain a temp for X period of time, then I remove the top pot from the heated water pot and I set it aside with the lid covering the pot and it does a very good job of maintaining temp. I'll be purchasing the 12 Qt Vigor double boiler for smaller cheese batches very soon.

Excellent kitchen tool, the price was very good too. It should survive years of small kitchen to medium size commercial kitchen use easily. I use it primary for making small batch cheese sauces, white sauce, gravy, yogurt and chocolates.

Vigor cookware from Webstaurant is rapidly becoming my favorite for a number of reason. First. Price and value are important. When using large, expensive stock pots and double boilers, you MUST be a discriminating buyer. Second, the jobber is terribly important. Webstaurant cannot be beat, especially if you become a Plus member, as I did. Saving that individual order freight is critical. Finally, the design of Vigor cookware is perfect. The thick, concave bottom on the boiler is great. When at heat, it sits perfectly on my induction burners. Overall, I could be happier. I am including a picture of my Vigor double boiler stable. I love them.

Purchased specifically to pasteurize milk and works great for that. However, the item is so high quality that it’s become a favorite :) I’ve used is also for candy-making, bone broth, and soup, as a double boiler and just the bottom as a stock pot. Love it!

These double boilers are the bomb! We have ordered several of these because they are so great. We make large batches of product daily and this pan holds up well! We can also use the mixer with these bowls and that's a huge plus. They held their shine for a good while, but we use them so frequently that within six months they were looking like a used pan. Would definitely recommend!
