Given the cost of this double boiler, I expected a nice thick aluminum with special heat distributing design. I returned the product. Kudos to Chef for not charging me for the return and making the FedEx dropoff so convenient.
Cons: Warped, Construction

The double boiler worked just fine, although I wish it were a bit sturdier as far as the quality of the material. I thought it was a tad flimsy.
I used it to make a Mexican Chocolate Mousse- previous efforts requiring a double boiler used makeshift assembly of cookware that I had on hand- less than ideal.
Overall, this piece worked just fine-
Pros: Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to use, even cooking, easy to store, Functional/Useful, capacity
Cons: Quality

This stainless steel double boiler is a perfect size for making sauces, chocolate, custards -- achieving the perfect heat without burning or overcooking. It has great features for this price -- heavy enough for even, consistent heating, handles that stay cool to the touch, and a close-fitting lid. I can finally make a perfect hollandaise sauce! The only improvement I can think of would be to have an interchangeable steamer pan.
Pros: Value for Money, Stay-cool handle, even cooking, Heat distribution, construction, Appearance/ Design /Style, Performs Well, Functional/Useful, capacity

Great purchase. Heats evenly, and can be used as saucepan too. Capacity is just right, not too big or too small and quality and styling are top-notch. Could've been cheaper by $10 and I would've been happier. Nonetheless, I will have this product for a long time, because it's built to last!
Pros: Appearance/ Design /Style, capacity, construction, durability, Easy to Clean/Wash, easy to use, even cooking, Functional/Useful, Heat distribution, Long-lasting, multi-purpose, Performs Well, quality, size, Stay-cool handle, Value for Money
Cons: Expensive/ Price
