I had been looking, for some time, for a double-boiler to make German rice like my Aunt does. This was a recipe from my grandmother who passed away before I was born. I was very pleased with how easy this was to work with. I really appreciate the classic look and feel of this cookware. It has a good weight and is very easy to clean. Faberware has been around for a long time and I think they really got it right again.
I looked at all your site had to offer and read other reviews also. I want to thank the others that liked this double-boiler...I know I made the right decision with their input.

This is a very serviceable saucepan/double boiler but the "two quart" size of the saucepan is a little misleading since the double boiler insert is not two quarts. I wanted a double boiler in which to make my mother's chicken a la king recipe. It is critical to use a double boiler so that that the milk and cream don't boil or burn. This Farberware pot worked perfectly except for the fact that you can't make enough in it to serve more than two people. It simply does not have the capacity to make enough for a family.

This set has come in handy many times in the kitchen. The pots can be used together or separately as a double boiler, although the bottom on the smaller one is not very thick. They are good for making sauces but if you make large quantities, you should get a larger double boiler.

Coming from someone who has used her mother's 30 year old farberware pots and pans because they're too good to toss...
Believe me when I say that the double boiler is what separates the men from the boys when it comes to the kitchen.
The quality of this baby is second to none - forget about those trendy and tragically hip cookware sets out there-
stick with the tried and true!

I have the original set of Farberware that is over 20 years old and this does not meet the same standards. The quality is not there, metal is thinner, plastic handle gets VERY HOT.
All in all, disappointing.

I find the 2-Quart Sauce Pan with Double Boiler Insert and Lid, great for steaming vegetables to perfection while preparing dinner for my wife and I. We like the vegetables slightly crunchy for maximum flavor and nutritional value and with a little attention this can be accomplished in this pan. Steamed asparagus is excellent. Great size when cooking dinner for two.

I haven't had a double boiler in ages and am so glad I finally purchased one from Amazon. Some probably use their double boilers as an alternative pan to cook in, but I don't. I use it strickly as a double boiler and I own a microwave too. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with Farberware products and you won't have to sell the family jewels to own a whole set either!

Very disappointed in this double boiler which was a replacement of the same one I had for many years. It seems smaller, Especially the basket compartment does no hold much at all, this part of the unit could never be close to two quarts. The metal is thinner. Farberware must think the consumers are all idiots and would never notice the difference in quality.

I bought this double boiler for my wife, she makes a number of things using melted chocolate and had just been using a stainless steel bowl over a pan of water. Since then, I've been using it to make brownies, and I love it. My only complaint is the lip around the middle of the top pan: it tends to collect the melted chocolate. Not nearly a deal-breaker, just an observation.
It's stainless, cleans easily, and looks nice. The bottom pan has a heavy bottom, which I didn't expect. If the size works for you, I can't think of a reason to buy a more expensive model. Highly recommended.

I was really happy with the classic dbl boiler. Very well made product didn't feel cheap and it was like getting two pans for the price of one. Perfect size for rice or veggys. Very happy with the saucepan.
