Farberware Classic Stainless Series 2-Quart Covered Double Boiler

This double boiler is a true “true” classic! My mom had one and used it often. It’s great for making sauces, fudge and reheating foods without scorching. It has the trusted Faberware name and is of great quality.

Very well made and perfect size! This is one of the nicest double boilers I've ever seen. I researched for weeks before buying this one and I'm EXTREMELY please with this one.

Works exactly and excellent I hope for.Easy to clean after use.

I love this. Just wished I ordered a 3 quart.

I purchased the Farberware Classic Stainless Series 2-Quart Covered Double Boiler and, functionally, it is exactly what I was looking for. Performance & Quality The pot itself is very nice. It feels sturdy, looks classic, and works exactly as it should. The stainless steel heats evenly, and the 2-quart size is perfect for melting chocolate, making custards, or preparing delicate sauces without scorching them. It’s a reliable addition to the kitchen that feels like it will last a long time. Packaging Observations The only downside was the way it arrived. Instead of the standard Farberware retail box, the double boiler was simply placed in a plastic bag and then inside a standard Amazon shipping box. It felt a bit "weird" and led me to suspect it might have been a previous return rather than a brand-new retail unit. Pros: High-quality stainless steel construction. Works perfectly for delicate cooking tasks. Classic design that matches other Farberware pieces. Cons: Disappointing packaging (arrived in a plastic bag rather than a box). Bottom Line: If you can get past the odd packaging, the product itself is excellent and does its job perfectly.

Cost more than I wanted to spend, but it’s exactly what I wanted. My family loves rice pudding so I made some for Christmas - I spent 5 hours standing over the stove as I no longer had my old double boiler to keep it from scorching. I don’t want to do that again- so I’m so glad I got this instead. Now I can make our favorite dessert for all our holidays.

Worked great!!

Farberware has always been my favorite brand for pots and pans. Married over 50 years, having owned a restaurant for half of those years and having tried many materials and brands, this is still the best for heat distribution, easy cool-down (and heat-up), very easy cleaning and maintenance, and the price cannot be beat. I have my original, 52-year old entire Farberware pot set with the double-boiler. Since my retirement, I'm back to doing crafts and all sorts of things I put aside when I opened a business. I bought this double-boiler for the use in making hand soaps of all things! It seems best to do crafts in separate pots not used for cooking food. This particular double-boiler is a little smaller than my original, but not by much. The lower pot is 6" wide and 4" high; whereas my old pot is 7.25" wide and 4.25 high. I knew right away this was smaller, but it will serve the purpose just fine. If you are using this for melting chocolate or cheese, reheating food and for all other food purposes, the general workings of this double-boiler prove to do an easy job of it with just about 3" of water in the lower pot, which will just about skim the bottom of the upper pot. The lower pot is a 2 quart pot, as indicated by the "stamp" (engraving) on the bottom of the pot. The upper pot has no indication of its volume, but I filled it with water to measure it for this review, and it holds 4 cups to the very top. I also want to let you know that the upper pot does not have the thick bottom as the lower pot does; therefore I don't think it can stand alone as an additional cooking pot. The cover fits both the upper and the lower pots.

My wife is very happy with her double boiler. She has used it numerous times since Christmas 2024, and found it handy for other uses other than what it is designed for. I used the bottom section myself recently to melt down a container of crystallized honey, because it is deeper than any other pots we have. These items aren't very easy to find in local stores, and this one is better quality than any I could find on store shelves.

just the double boiler i was looking for making my skin care products & even chocolate ganache.

I totally love this double boiler. Both pots have a good sturdy, heavy bottom so there's no tippiness at all which is a huge relief. Nothing more scary than two pots together and one or the other doesn't sit securely on the stove. The smaller one nestles in perfectly and seals up so no water boiling over. The lid sits on top easily as well. I really the pot's size - it fits perfectly on the small burner on the stove. I'm using it to melt beeswax for candles. This pot is an excellent purchase, worth the cost and I do recommend it. I would absolutely buy this again if I ever need another one.

Well made double boiler. The handle is a bit on the small side.

I only gave it 4 because of it’s size. It is good quality, but small. It is only for small amounts. I wanted to use it for making yogurt, but it is really to small. I start my yogurt with around 2 quarts of milk and when it is time to put in the yogurt starter, there isn't enough room. I didn't return it because I had used it, to try it out, and it actually is a good quality product. So, good product, just not big enough for what i needed. Delivery was very fast.
