All-Clad 8x3.5 Universal Double Boiler Insert  Product Reviews

"Very pleased with our double boiler insert. We have a lot of All-Clad pots and pans and have always found them to be of the best quality. The insert is up to standard. It fits many of our pots perfectly and is very useable. Hollandaise will never have to burn while using this."

"Extremely well made, heats evenly and slowly, and fits my 3 qt pot with a precise seal. I've even used it directly on the burner when I was cooking multiple courses. Love it!"

"Someone else pointed out that the quality of this double-boiler is not the same as the pans, and I agree with their assessment. The quality of this product is not consistent with the quality of other All-Clad products."

"I have to admit -- I bought this insert simply because I love all things All-Clad. While it heats well, the indentation on the inside is a problem. I love it becuase it allows the insert to fit snugly, but I hated working with it until I got one of those small silicone spatulas. It fits perfectly in the indentation and it's the same one I use with my food processor. I made cheese dip over for the Super Bowl and I was impressed with the insert's performance. I see that All Clad now has a ceramic double boiler insert. I must live in a test market because I've only seen it at one store and it's not even on the store's or All Clad's website. I forget the cost but, you're buying the insert and the 2 qt saucepan as a set. The insert is removable. I like this original insert better, even with the indentation, because it's bigger. "
