I have posted this in crafts as well because I am wanting to buy a double boiler to use on my gas top to melt soy wax for candle making. I have spent all day on the internet looking for a cheaper one that holds at least 500 grams but all I seem to come up with are steamers or ones that cost hundreds of dollars. I am not near a major city but I could get someone in Auckland to get it for me if there was somewhere there that had one. I have looked at the following sites Farmers, Briscoes, Fishpond, TM, and Alibarbers (although I found that site difficult to navigate, and even under a separate listing for double boilers (as opposed to steamers), it came up with heaps of steamers as well. Any help appreciated. I would rather not use a bowl over a pot.

Try a second hand shop?

Try a second hand slow cooker, preferably the older ones.

Local op shops?
Is $47.99 too expensive? Stevens have a stainless steel one on sale atm, down from $79.99. A boiler, not a steamer.
I'd find a stainless steel bowl (maybe in an op shop) that would fit a pot.

Thank you all. The stevens ones are a bit too expensive, but the innovations one looks quite good. Of course I guess there are several ways of describing these pans and I didn't get any of those from my searches. Will look into the innovations one I think.

I got mine at Moore Wilsons as no one else had them.
