I'm looking for a 1 to 1 1/2 quart double boiler for creme caramel where the top portion can then go straight to the oven. Any suggestions?

Barbara, I only use this double boil on the stove for hot cereal preparation. The top portion has a bottom that is not too stable, so if I chose to put it in the oven, I'd have to place it in another pan of some kind. It's also made of very thin stainless steel, so if you used it as a weapon, you'd definitely damage the pot rather than the receiver! Only kidding....

I haven't a clue. I never had a need for that. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I use a small toaster oven, enough for 2 shells. Use the recommend time and heat, and they were good.

Yes, it can go in the oven. Nothing to melt. But why use a double boiler in the oven??

I don't think All Clad makes one specifically for this stockpot, but they do make some "universal" steamer inserts that should fit well (although they may not reach the pot's full depth). I thought about this before I bought it, decided to purchase anyway. No regrets. Would be nice to have, though.

Your experience highlights one major flaw in the marketing of the Fagor 12 quart oven. No detailed information on temperature and other cooking requirements. In all honesty my experience has been through trial and error. Fagor's main competitor in the US is Nuwave. Their oven has much more specific directions on cooking procedures. I would suggest you contact Fagor on their customer support number in the manual and query their food prepartion rep. Sorry I can't help you with more specific information but I can thorougly sympathize with your experience as it mirrors my experiences too. When I do get satisfactory results I note the rack/temperture/time in a notebook that I keep near the oven for future reference. Good luck!

No, I have never used Pyrex as a double boiler. I usually melt chocolate in my microwave, checking and stirring every 20 seconds and that works for me. I am sure some items definitely require a double boiler but not for what I need. Sorry.

sorry, I don't understand your question. But I have had no problems with this double boiler and I just love it. Clarify and ask again if you need to.

This model will hold 3 quarts with ONLY 1/2 to spare at the top. No room for a boil but a very low simmer would be okay. This should be on the product description but is not.

I use my Turbo Convection Oven to reheat evrything from meat, fish and backed potato. Ineach instance I can wrap in aluminum foil. Tea and coffee I microwave

It's OK for Hollandaise sauce, if you make a small amount of it. It is also OK if you follow the original recipe and use a whisk.I do not, I actually use an electric hand mixer, so this silicone double boiler is not the best. This product is actually best for melting chocolate.

The pot has to be large enough that you can fold the handles over on the inside and still have the lid fit securely, otherwise the steam will escape. I would not use it in anything smaller than 2 quarts for that reason.

For caramelizing sugars on something like Crème brûlée this would work perfect. Happy Cooking!!!

Hi,I am in seach of a good countertop oven to use mostly for the rotisserie feature and for meat, pork and not chicken - most reviews focus on baking and chicken. Would you have any specific suggestions or just features/ qualities that I need to look for? I take it that convection would be big deal here. I see a lot of complaints about how flimsy the applicances look and the external heating... Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

good luck! cannot be found. tried many sources, no success. I bought this pressure cooker, thinking it would last. Did not. Very expensive. And because I did not buy it from QVC, they would not help me. Sorry.

Sholeh, unfortunately we only have this 6.5 quart pressure cooker. I apologize for the inconvenience!

Try one of the Imusa casseroles. Imusa Enamel Dutch Oven, 4.5 Quart, TurquoiseThey don't do heat diffusion very well (you will appreciate the difference when you get the LC), but they have the same easy-to-clean enamel advantage, they're made in Mexico, not China, and for the price of a LC dutch oven you could buy ten of them.
