This is an excellent one piece double boiler. It works flawlessly and is fun to use. This item is also very well made and seems to be very durable. I was impressed by the very thick heavy base on the pot and it comes to a boil very fast. I'm very glad I bought this item. Highly recommended.

Black & Decker RC6438 38-Cup Commercial Rice Cooker and Steamer, White Review

I acquired this cooker in the course of putting together a home system for sous vide cooking.
It works quite well with the PID temperature controllers available from Auber Instruments and Sous Vide Magic, and it is considerably less expensive than other rice cookers of comparable size.
I only give it 4 stars because I haven't tried using it for its stated purpose: cooking rice and vegetables. I suspect that it would perform quite well in that capacity, but it would be a bit large for most home cooks. The minimum quantity of rice that you can cook is a bit over 3 cups, precooked, yielding 7 to 10 cups of cooked rice.

With the press of a lever, this electric rice cooker makes up to 38 cups of cooked rice--perfect for restaurants, catering, and other commercial venues. Simply add virtually any type of dry rice, measure in the water, and turn the unit on. The versatile appliance can also steam vegetables while simultaneously cooking rice thanks to the included stainless-steel steamer basket. After the cooking cycle, the unit automatically switches to a keep-warm mode, which maintains an ideal serving temperature without over-cooking. For added convenience, the rice cooker's tempered glass lid with a steam vent keeps in heat and moisture and allows for checking on food at a glance. It also provides a lid hanger and condensation catcher to help keep countertops dry and make serving easy. Other highlights include stay-cool lid and side handles, "cook" and "warm" indicator lights, and a durable nonstick inner cooking pot that removes for easy cleaning by hand or in the dishwasher. Accessories include a measuring cup, rice paddle, vegetable steamer basket, and an instruction manual. The rice cooker measures approximately 15-3/5 by 15-3/5 by 12-4/5 inches.

Fagor Stainless-Steel 2-Quart Double Boiler with Steamer Insert Review

This is a well-made, versatile, attractive, almost-"professional" set which, if you look around for sales, offers a good deal for the money (mine was from Macey's, special $39.95).
Although the bottom unit is heavy enough to function nicely as an independant 3 qt. stockpot, the top unit should definitely not be used over direct heat (my only complaint). And I think the well-made glass lid is always a plus over a solid one.
The upper unit and steamer both have 2 qt. capacities. This size is about right for all "double boiling" or for steamimng moderate amounts of food, but might be a little small if you want to steam vegetables, etc. for more than 2 to 3 people on a regular basis.

Paula Deen 3 Quart Stack & Steamer, Stainless Steel Review

We recently ordered this steamer and were pleasantly surprised at how well constructed it was and how well it works. Both the pot and steamer insert are heavier weight than comparable steamers, and appear to be as durable as they are attractive. The copper bottom heats up quickly and evenly, and the knob on the lid does not get too hot to handle. It can steam enough vegetables for 3-4 people. Make sure you read the label and soak the copper bottom 20 min. in baking soda solution before use to remove its protective coating.

Childhood memories are so important to me. My copper bottom pots and pans remind me of the treasured time I had with my mother. Cooking with friends and family is so much more fun when you have the right tools, and these pans will give you pleasure for years. In fact, I hope you'll pass them along to loved ones, a time honored tradition in our family.

Paderno 1.5 Quart Stainless Steel Double Boiler Review

This is the perfect pot for making delicate sauces, melting chocolate, or making puddings and creams. You fill the chamber with water until the glass vile shows that it is full. You then place the pot on the stove (gas or electric) and the contents heat very gently. Just this past weekend, my friend and I made chocolate bark for about 50 people and huge amounts of chocolate melted in what seemed like a few minutes and we never had to worry about burning the chocolate or getting water into it. I recommend this pot to anyone who cooks or bakes regularly.
