The idea of one of these would be ideal, but would be too expensive to purchase one from here.Our local Kitchen shop had something similar a couple of years ago for $49.I may give them a call to see if they can get me one.Thanks

I got one at Moore Wilsons a year or so back.Expensive but it was a treat to myself and I'd wanted one for ages.It's a Scanpan brand.

Did they give you a price then?

Apparently they do not make them anymore and the shop does not have one now.They do have a double boiler on sale for $99 with 25% discount, so I can buy it for $75.00.May go and have a look next Monday.I may take in a favourite pot and look at the stainless steel bowls.

Used to make lemon honey in d/boiler, but found this microwave recipe and the lemon honey is delicious and quick and easy to make. 4 eggs,1/12 cups sugar, 100grms butter cut into small pieces, grated rind and juice of 2 lemons. Wire whisk eggs and sugar in microwave safe bowl till creamy. Add butter, lemon juice and rind. Cook on high for 8-10 minutes. Stir till smooth. Rest for 5 mins then pour into clean warm jars. Seal when cold.

Yes - I've wondered about the availability of double boilers as I haven't seen them for sale anywhere for years. I fortunately bought a set years ago and have used it often. Probably fetch a good price on TM - but its not for sale!! I like the idea of the one you suggest tho cookessentials - excellent the way it would fit most pot sizes.

Yes, although it does not have a lid, but for most things you would not need one. Must see if I can get a price

I will have a look at our local second hand shop tomorrow.Gosh that pot looks so old, but would probably be ideal for what you use it for.What a hoot.

I have a nice round bottomed basin that my whisk fits nicely in, over a pot. Cost me nothing and works a treat.
