Very Good, have not found any better Double Biloer
The Base saucepan is heavy, well designed, excellent quality. The 'Double Boiler Insert is lighter weight stainless steel, but decent quality, and the see through glass lid is tight fitting, with a man sized handle. The only additional selling feature that I would suggest to the manufacturer is make an insert with a teflon Non-Stick surface. The things commonly in need of a double boiler, sauces, chocolate melting and Oatmeal stick like industrial glue to stainless steel. Cleaning such a piece of cookware would benefit from a good quality Teflon coating to facilitate cleaning. I have looked for such a Double Boiler long and hard, this is the best I have come across, and there is no 'close second', hence the 'Excellent 5 star rating.

Just what I was looking for
I had almost given up finding a "real" double boiler; and then I got the Chef's catalogue, and there it was. When it arrived, it was just what I had been looking for.

2 quart tri ply stainless steel double boiler
Best investment I've made in a long time.Wanted a double boiler for a while. I Did not want to spend the money.Very useful in soap making. Cleans well & tight fitting lid so there is no evaporation. Love it. Why did I wait so long? No cons!!

Excellent Double-Boiler!
This stainless steel double boiler is a perfect size for making sauces, chocolate, custards -- achieving the perfect heat without burning or overcooking. It has great features for this price -- heavy enough for even, consistent heating, handles that stay cool to the touch, and a close-fitting lid. I can finally make a perfect hollandaise sauce! The only improvement I can think of would be to have an interchangeable steamer pan.

Double boiler
Not very sturdy. Insert cannot be used as a pot itself because it is so flimsy. What I really don't like is the hollow uninsulated handles that act as a chimney and get too hot to handle.

Not the quality you'd expect
Given the cost of this double boiler, I expected a nice thick aluminum with special heat distributing design. I returned the product. Kudos to Chef for not charging me for the return and making the FedEx dropoff so convenient.

Functional
The double boiler worked just fine, although I wish it were a bit sturdier as far as the quality of the material. I thought it was a tad flimsy.
I used it to make a Mexican Chocolate Mousse- previous efforts requiring a double boiler used makeshift assembly of cookware that I had on hand- less than ideal.
Overall, this piece worked just fine-
