All-Clad Stainless 3-Quart Double-Boiler Insert Feature
- Fits pots and pans 8 inches in diameter, holds 3 quarts
- 18/10 stainless steel with mirror-finish exterior and polished interior
- Long, comfortable stay-cool handle riveted for strength
- Dishwasher safe, but hand washing recommended
- Lifetime warranty against defects
Suitable for use with any 8-inch-diameter pot or pan, this beautiful, heavy, durable double boiler specifically fits into the 3-, 4-, and 5-quart saucepans and casserole pans in All-Clad's cookware collections. The exterior has a mirror finish and the interior is highly polished so it's naturally stick-resistant. A rolled edge facilitates dripless pouring. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel handle is riveted to the insert for strength, grooved on the top and rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on a hook or peg. The long handle stays cool on the stovetop. Although the insert is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. Like all All-Clad cookware, cook's tools, and kitchen accessories, it carries a lifetime warranty against defects.

Some of the most luscious things in the world are made possible by double boilers. We're thinking chocolate ganache, caramel cream frosting, almond butter crunch candy, and the list goes on. Heating in a double boiler allows you more control over temperature and therefore helps prevent scorching or accidental boiling.
