## Description

Product Description Grab this ingenious Farberware 50057 Classic Stainless Steel Double Boiler and Saucepan with Lid 2-Quart cookware combo that pulls double duty on the stovetop as either a saucepan or a double boiler. Pop in the boiler insert to melt chocolate or gently cook custards. Without the insert, the saucepan and lid are great for everyday recipes like wild rice or minestrone soup. A full cap base featuring a thick aluminum core surrounded by stainless steel provides rapid, even heating on any stovetop, and the double boiler is oven safe to 350°F and conveniently dishwasher safe for quick, easy cleanup. desertcart.com You want hollandaise on poached eggs and chocolate sauce on a cake, but to do it right, you'll need a double boiler. Is it worth the grief? Yes, and this convenient midsize outfit reduces the grief by quickly providing what is needed for smooth sauces, while incidentally adding an extra 2-quart pan to a kitchen's repertoire. The pieces are made of highly polished stainless steel, and have phenolic handles that stay cool, are oven safe to 350 degrees, and have metal hanging loops; the large "knob" handle on the lid is also easy to get a hold of in a hurry. The pans are also dishwasher-safe. --Richard Farr

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this set consist of a 1qt saucepan(top) and a 2qt saucepan(bottom)?**
A: If you are asking whether there are two pots and a lid, the answer is "yes".  The top pan holds a bit more than one quart.  When I poured in a quart of water, there was about an inch of space to the top.  However, when filling the bottom pot, is did not hold quite two quarts.  I had about 1/2 cup of water left over.  This is not an issue for me as I wanted a double boiler and do not use the pots singly.  The lid fits on both pots snugly.  I have used this pot for making fudge, melting chocolate, and frosting, and I am completely happy with it.  I am not sure the bottom of either pot is heavy enough to cook things other than liquids.  I use double & triple clads for heavier foods.  The stainless steel cleans up well.Hope this helps.

**Q: Will this work on induction stovetop?**
A: Short answer: No.  Longer answer/reason: Induction cooking requires "ferromagnetic" (iron-based magnetic) cookware. Stainless steel 18/10 is iron-based, because the alloy is based on steel, but the numbers "18/10" refer to 18% chromium and 10% nickel in the alloy. Adding chromium makes it "stainless" and adding nickel makes it nonmagnetic. "Stainless steel 18/0" is magnetic (because it contains no nickel) and will work on an induction cooktop, but 18/10 is a much better grade of stainless steel.  Some cookware is "stainless steel clad," meaning the stainless steel covers both sides of a different metal on the bottom. The bottom of this pot has an aluminum "core," which means the stainless steel is "clad" over a disk of aluminum. Aluminum is used on the bottom because it transfers heat much better than stainless steel, but since it is also nonmagnetic, it will not make it "induction ready." Some stainless steel clad cookware has a "core" of regular steel, which is magnetic, and those would be able to be used on an induction cooktop. For example, this one specifically states "induction ready": http://www.webstaurantstore.com/8-qt-stainless-steel-clad-double-boiler/922SDB8.html?utm_source=Amazon In general, if a magnet sticks to the bottom of a pot, it can be used on an induction cooktop; if it doesn't, it can't.Comment on other responses: Why are people who don't know the answer to a question compelled to "answer" the question with "I don't know" or worse, "I have no idea what you're talking about"? MILLIONS of people don't know the answer to the question, but you don't see them all of THEM chiming in with "I don't know," do you? Clue: If you don't know the answer to a question, simply DON'T RESPOND. Posting a nonsensical response does not help the questioner, and you're only broadcasting to the world how ignorant you are!

**Q: does this work on an induction stove top?**
A: According to Farberware, this is suitable for an induction cooktop.  http://shop.farberwarecookware.com/Cookware/Farberware-Classic-Series-2-Quart-Covered-Saucepan-with-Double-Boiler-Insert-Silver-50057.html#product-useandcare

**Q: Is the inside non-stick?**
A: No, it is all stainless steel.  Washes like a non-stick.  Never had any problems.
