Take it Slow and Gentle With a Stainless Steel Double Boiler

You're planning to make chocolate almond bark for the holiday bake sale, or eggs Benedict for Sunday morning. Or, you're trying a new custard recipe for a family dinner. What do all of these creations have in common? Gentle and slow heating. In order to take on these semi-complicated tasks, you'll need a double boiler. Williams Sonoma offers a vast array of stainless steel double boilers that will help ensure all of these culinary creations are made just right. Read on to discover how.

What is a Double Boiler Used For?

A double boiler is used for slow and gentle melting and cooking. Instead of placing a pot or pan directly over a heat source, a double boiler is comprised of two pots: one for boiling water and one for placing over the boiled water to gently heat whatever you are making. Otherwise, whatever you're trying to melt will likely curdle or scorch. A double boiler is perfect for melting chocolate, making custards and delicate sauces such as hollandaise or crème anglais.

What Kinds of Stainless Steel Double Boilers Are Available?

Whatever the style of your kitchen decor or existing set of cookware, our double boiler choices are sure to fit right in. All of our full double boilers come with a saucepan, double boiler, insert and lid for the complete gentle cooking experience. We are proud to offer high-quality brands such as:

  • All-Clad
  • Williams Sonoma Signature Thermo-Clad
  • Calphalon
  • de Buyer
  • Mauviel

In addition to all of our sleek and glorious stainless steel options, we also offer copper double boilers, as well as a fusion of the two: copper for superior heat conductivity and non-reactive stainless steel. Some of our styles also boast ergonomically-friendly, stay-cool handles for a non-disruptive cooking experience.

We've even got an all-in-one double boiler from de Buyer, where water is simply added through the spout of the heatproof silicone handle.
