With lovely fleur-de-lys detail at its handles' rivet points and a thick aluminum base capped in copper for fast, uniform heat distribution, this 2-quart double boiler is gorgeous to behold and splendid to cook with. It comes with a tight-fitting, drop-style lid to retain steam and create a self-basting effect when used as a saucepan. With the double-boiler insert it's ideal for cooking delicate sauces and scrambled eggs or for melting chocolate. Because it's safe to 500 degrees F, the pan can also go into the oven. Hand-polished cast-stainless-steel handles with hanging holes are double-riveted for strength, and the rivets have stainless-steel caps for added durability. The double boiler is dishwasher-safe and carries a lifetime warranty against defects.
