This double boiler is a true cook's essential that's made for gently heating foods that could seize, break or coagulate if put directly over a heat source. Use it to melt chocolate and cheese, make cheese sauces, or to heat eggs for a hollandaise sauce or sabayon. It can also be used to keep gravy, sauces or mashed potatoes hot until needed. This three-piece set includes an 18/8 stainless steel sauce pan with impact bonded cooking base and long handle, an 18/8 stainless steel insert with long handle and a fitted, tempered glass lid. The insert has a rounded bottom for easy stirring and gentle, consistent heat across the cooking surface. The sauce pan base is made from magnetic stainless steel with a fast-conducting aluminum core, and can be used separately with the lid for general cooking.

• Pan and lid are oven safe to 450° F
