Overview

Warming a large batch gently over simmering water is the job of this Vollrath double boiler. The stainless steel construction suits commercial use and the capacity is aimed at kitchens making sauces and fillings in volume.

Capacity is the reason to choose it, since eleven quarts handles batches a home pan could not. Beyond that the listing is brief, with nothing on lids, handles or compatible heat sources.

Who it's for

Foodservice kitchens and serious bakers who melt or hold delicate mixtures in volume. A household that wants a compact pot should choose a far smaller double boiler.

Performance notes

A double boiler heats the food through steam from a pan of water below, so the temperature rises slowly and evenly. That protects chocolate, custard and egg sauces from scorching. With a batch this large, patience matters, since it takes time to warm through.
