Durable Stainless Steel Construction

It is constructed with durable, 22 gauge stainless steel, so it won't discolor or react to acidic foods over time. The thick, 4 mm aluminum core is designed to withstand the rigors of everyday use in your commercial setting. The body is made of type 400 stainless steel. Plus, its aluminum clad bottom and sides attract and evenly distributes heat, thus eliminating hot spots.

Welded, Side-Looped Handles

For a secure grip during transport, it features welded, side-looped handles to ensure a permanent connection between the handles and the double boiler. Since these handles are on both the inset and boiler pot, it ensures long-lasting quality in high-traffic commercial settings.

3 Components

This double boiler is ideal for making delicate sauces due to the three separate components. The boiler pot is made to hold water while the inset fits tightly into the pot, thus heating the food through a gentle but efficient steam heating process. Then the cover is included to hold in the heat for gentle simmering.

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.

we cook for a large family. We were very hesitate to buy a large pan online without feeling if it was heavy. So our food wouldn't be easy burned. But we took the chance and bought this! It si worth the money!

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!

The 12 Qt. Stainless Steel Clad Double Boiler is a great buy. It is heavy weight and has a nice finish. It is heavy weight and heats evenly. It will not rust or dent easily and is very versatile. This is great for everyday use in a commercial restaurant.

Can't go wrong with stainless steel since it is so easy to clean. The quality of the double boiler is also great and is able to warm up sauce, cook pasta and many other items that we need it to. The lid fits perfectly as well.

The 8 qt stainless steel clad double boiler is the perfect size to melt chocolate or to steam a small amount of vegetables. It is rather heavy but it heats evenly. I would definitely purchase another one!

This is a decent, functional nonreactive pot at a fair price. I use it for melting large quantities of chocolate. The stainless steel cleans up easily.
