Safe for use in double boiler ?

Since Pyrex bowls are safe in ovens (well over 200 degrees) and on a gas range burner over a flame (very hot), using them in a double-boiler (212 degrees maximum for boiling water) should present no problem, though I've never tried it.

Sorry....never have used in double boiler....but if you mean to melt chocolate or something like that.....I would use it for that purpose....Pyrex can take boiling water....hope that helps.

I have used my silicone double boiler several times. The only issue I've had is when it's half or more full you need to be careful removing it from the lower pan with water. Use both hands to remove as the silicon will fold on you.

Yes it is safe. Make sure to place it over the burner which is closest to the size of the base of the pot so heat is directly under and not around sides of pot. Also let it cool down before washing it. You will absolutely love it.

I don't think so! I agree with John Farago. BTW, I use mine to melt melt & pour soap and it's great! I tried to make custard with a new one, and it really stuck to the bottom. You should really find a cute little Bain Marie or double boiler that has a non-stick coating to cook anything that will stick. Hope this helps you! Another BTW: -- that is a good price!! When I was first looking for a double boiler I saw one for $85 or more, then I bought one from a small cookware company (can't remember the name) which was around the price for this.

I would imagine it's safe, it's stainless steel. I can't imsagine anyone putting a stockpot that big in a non-commercial dishwasher.

Yes. I don't do it myself, I prefer a double boiler, however, the soap's instructions are for microwave. Might need a magnifying glass to read it, but it is there!

I had the boiler for more than 2 years, running near 24x7 without any rust. Nice customer service, did not need it but I probably would not buy things just for nice customer service.

I believe you would overwork the boiler if you expect such high capacity. There is no attachment for a direct water line. the machine takes some getting use to to get good crema

Hi Bob - I honestly don't know. I use mine on a Duxtop burner. I'm sorry I'm not more help.

I would have to say NO as the plastic parts would melt I think you are talking about a hot water Rad system with a boiler or maybe infloor heating with a water heater. You need a Bell&Gosset; pump or Grundfos pump or a Taco pump that can be variable speed and definitly high boiler temp rated

The stainless steel of both the inner and outer pots are magnetic. The outer pot is super heavy duty, ferrous, and very magnetic. If this meets the induction criteria then you are good to go. I didn't buy this double boiler for the induction feature so you will have to make your own conclusion. Off the top of my head I would say that the outer pot, for sure, would work well in an induction situation. The inner used in conjunction with the outer will do the job it was designed for. HC

The steam cannot pass through the metal, however, it serves another purpose as the steam heats it from underneath. Double boilers are used to i.e. melt chocolate (if you otherwise tried to melt chocolate on the stove, it would burn) or heat up egg whites for meringue, but not cook them. It is used to get something warm over a period of time, rather than cook something quickly.

You only use one tier at a time on top of the base pan. When you want to steam, you use the pan with holes and place it on top of the base pan. When you want a double boiler for making sauces, you use the pan without holes over the base and leave the tier with holes off. Not designed to use all three tiers at once.

This steam canner is not meant to be used for double stacking.Double stacking is extremely dangerous because the weight of the top jars may damage the lids and jars underneath.The Manufacturer would have made a second wire rack to fit leaving space between the first set of jars on the bottom, had he designed his steam canner for double stacked canning jars.Botulism is not something to play with, it is deadly!!!

I use on gas stovetop with no problems. Just keep flame size smaller than bottom of kettle.

Seems to be no problem, for me, but I will caution that I use an aluminum plate 1/4 inch thick as a buffer, between the kettle and the burner. This is to avoid any hot spots and scorching, as the bottom is the same gauge stainless as the sides. That plate may provide some protection to the valve and thermometer. Might be a valid concern.

I suppose it should be okay. I use it with single burner electric stove which use a lot of electricity too. Besides it says so in the description.
