Review

As well as candy making double boilers are fantastic for making sauces, so this pot is bound to serve more than one purpose in your kitchen!

This pot is perfect for candy making because of the stainless steel. It is non-reactive so won’t interfere with the way your candy turns out the way some other metal pans do.

This pot is perfect for candy making because of the stainless steel. It is non-reactive so won’t interfere with the way your candy turns out the way some other metal pans do.

The Farberware double boiler is a good weight and is very easy to clean. Customers just love this double boiler and are extremely happy with their purchase.

Here are a few actual comments from customers:

• This set has come in handy many times in the kitchen
• I had purchased this as a Christmas Gift for my sister and she was very pleased with it
• I have been using it almost daily melting chocolate drops for holiday candy. It’s wonderful
• The right size for melting chocolate
• Looking forward to making hollandaise and melting chocolate for chocolate mousse

One thing to note is the size. It is only 2 quarts and while this is perfect for melting chocolate and making candy, you may prefer a larger size for other cooking methods. Some customers who use it for rice and pasta say that the 3 quart size is better for them.

Farberware does have a Classic Stack N Steam 3 Quart Saucepan and steamer set that you might prefer.  You can see that set by visiting the following link: 3 Quart Pan

This would be a good choice for making steamed vegetables, rice, soups and larger quantities of sauces. It is very reasonably priced and an excellent buy. You may even want to treat yourself to both sizes?

Functional as well as beautiful, this 2-quart saucepan comes with a double boiler insert and lid–a great choice for making candy and delicate desserts. Made of heavy 18/10 stainless steel polished to a mirror finish, the pan has an aluminum core in its base to spread heat quickly and evenly. The core is completely clad in stainless steel so, like the rest of the pan, the bottom resists corrosion and discoloring and cleans up easily. Thick rolled rims add durability and make it possible to pour from the pan without dripping. The handle is oven safe to 350 degrees F and stays cool on the stovetop. The pan is dishwasher-safe and comes with a lifetime warranty against defects.
