Product Description
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.

I never really noticed the inner groove as a “problem” until I read the other reviews. This was part of my first All-Clad set–so nice! Yes, things stick in the groove, but I just use a silicone spatula while cooking and I don’t seem to have a problem. I love the capacity and size/shape of this unit. Scrambled eggs come out beautifully in this pot, as does chocolate ganache and buttercream frosting. But sometimes my pumpkin pie filling gets bits of cooked egg if I’m not diligent about stirring out the groove. The width/depth ratio allows me to really get my whisk or spatula inside to work.
Sometimes the dishwasher (horrors, I know!) doesn’t get the groove completely clean. I hand-wash it most times anyway, so that doesn’t really matter too much to me.
I like the length of the handle, but I wish it were slightly thicker to make it easier to grab when using a pot-holder.

Someone else pointed out that the quality of this double-boiler is not the same as the pans, and I agree with their assessment. The quality of this product is not consistent with the quality of other All-Clad products.

Bought this to fit some existing All-Clad pots that I have. Works great and fits perfectly.

Extremely well made, heats evenly and slowly, and fits my 3 qt pot with a precise seal. I’ve even used it directly on the burner when I was cooking multiple courses. Love it!

Very pleased with our double boiler insert. We have a lot of All-Clad pots and pans and have always found them to be of the best quality. The insert is up to standard.
It fits many of our pots perfectly and is very useable.
Hollandaise will never have to burn while using this.
