Can I use this as a double boiler?

Sure, this would work as a double broiler. Although, these mixing bowls are thin walled so heat transference will be quick. Good Luck.

That's exactly why I bought it. I was concerned with the density of the metal, but all worked out well for me. Though the base it flat, it is relatively small; and with the steep curve profile it was fairly easy to blend in as well. It fit perfectly in my smaller sauce pan. I was able to mix/cook my egg yolks for a modified tiramisu recipe without trouble. It is light and small, but did what I needed from it. Just be careful lifting or rotating it while heating due to the release of steam from beneath it.

You can do this however, you defeat the purpose of having hot water when you need it. I t takes a little whild to heat up just like a warter heater. Hope this helps.

yes but not all at the same time. if your running your hvac unit, you wont be able to run a bunch of anything else

Yes the top section has a flat bottom, and each part of the double boiler can be used as separate pots.

No, I have never used Pyrex as a double boiler. I usually melt chocolate in my microwave, checking and stirring every 20 seconds and that works for me. I am sure some items definitely require a double boiler but not for what I need. Sorry.

yes, you could, but be aware that both sides heat at the same time. They do not heat individually.

I do not believe this pan comfortably holds 2 or more quarts. The pan can sit surrounded by water however boiler is used for cooking delicate ingredients that have a tendency to seize or separate over direct heat. You would not want to cook that high or fast. Also water that surrounds would boil out over onto your stove and/or into your pan. I'm not sure this is the type of pan you are looking for.

Not for boiler use, nor approved by any state code to do so either. Can it be done yes, but if you have to ask, this is your clue your on the wrong track. I've repaired them in this application, and the heat exchanger doesn't last so long, also as mentioned 140. Is the max temp. For this unit. However Rinnai does make a wall hung boiler that will suit your needs, obviously your wood boiler would act as a buffer tank, without storage your limited to 3500-4000sqft of well insulated living space.

If I understand your question, the answer is no. You can remove one tier, and have the other tier (half of the stack) for steaming. The tiers are stacked and equally sized.

Yes you can, but it is only the two end heaters. The degree of turning is also only very slight.

since it is a small double boiler I would say a half gallon would do it with out boiling over. I'm afraid it is too small for a full gallon. But it is just the right size for most cooking jobs, I love mine.

Yes you can. The heavy iron is a perfect conductor of heat and it works great.

No it is not a dual boiler machine. It is a single boiler with rapid steam capabilities.

You might want to ask plumber about putting both systems in line, but I'm guessing that it's not the best idea. I'mpretty sure the unit won't fire if you've got 180f going in, but you'd also have 180f coming out - which is enough to burn you, regardless what it does to the unit. Personally, I would keep the two systems separate and install some sort of crossover. But I'd talk to a plumbing/heating professional...

OKQuilter, this is a more upright pot rather than a low wide pan. I guess you could use it as the base for a double boiler. I don't have this exact pot, I gave it to my nephew as a gift (it's a nice size for mac and cheese). But the dimensions are about 4 inches high and 7 inches wide. Hope this helps! Dana in(BA)OK
