Why do some have the extra "helper handle" on them, and some do not. Are there multiple sizes for the bottom pan of the double boiler?

My guess is that the pictures are incorrect. I have three sizes of All-Clad saucepans, and only the largest (4 quart) has a helper handle, so it's possible there is a picture of the 4-quart pot mixed in.This product, which is the 2-quart saucepan with the ceramic double boiler insert, has NO helper handle on either the pan itself or the insert.There is another All-Clad double boiler insert that is stainless steel, NOT ceramic, which can fit both the 3- and 4-quart saucepans but I strongly recommend this one with the ceramic insert, because it has superb heat control.

The picot actually has three separate things in it: (1) the lid, (2) a ceramic double boiler that fits into the pan with its own handle, and finally (3) the copper core pan itself which can be used without the double boiler insert.

I bought two handles because the replacements are different to the originals, hope that's helpful

The one I got did and the photo is showing two. I might add only cookware with a stainless steel bottom will work on the cooker. I had stainless still cook ware but with aluminum bottoms and they would not work. The pans that come with it are great. Check out cookware before buying. It' not cheep.

I got what is shown in the image above.. a lid for all but the small fry pan and the steamer. i find it odd that from the comments below others got different lid configurations.

I bought one and then had it replaced. The replacement was also defective and I returned it. I am guessing that you do not have the gripper that is on the bottom of the seat. If you lift it up you will see a white rubber piece on both side of the seat, or you will see where one or both is missing. If one or both are missing, then the seat will be unstable. In my case, I just gave up trying. Kohler should be ashamed. They charge top dollar and give you junk (sorry for the rant).

I can not say for sure since I do not have that model but, it looks like my oven just with a different name. Also I have learned from personal experience and from web blogs that the majority of additional parts (extender rings, baking pans & such) are are interchangeable. I hope this helps.

Yes it does. I have a flat top and used it on the smaller burners and made sure the handle was not over the element the later was most likely on the side of caution.

This double boiler is marked 'Cusiniart FRANCE on both pan handles. The bottom of the saucepan is marked 'Made in France'.

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

My two pan that I have are just a fraction larger at the top then and the bottom. I find this very helpful when baking some thing. It gives a fraction more room to get what I am baking out of the pan with out damageing the pan or what I am bakeing.

Actually it is the entire double boiler as you see above. The bottom is 2 qt. and is sized for the ceramic insert. You can certainly use the bottom as a saucepan separately and the lid fits the bottom also. So it is really 2 pots in one! This piece is worth every cent you spend on it. I used mine tonight to melt chocolate and butter for brownies. No concerns about burning it. Great also for Hollandaise sauce. If you want a high quality double boiler, this is it. it will last a lifetime plus if treated with care. I hemmed and hawed about spending so much on it, but from the first time I used it I was happy with my purchase. Like I mentioned I used it tonight and told my husband how great it is.

I just purchased this for my new 6 quart InstaPot and the handles don't fit. Disappointed.

It seems to me that I have used mine under the boiler with no problem. I love these pans but I would suggest however that you call LeCreuset at 1 877 273-8738 (they are very helpful) or email at: cservice@lecresuet.com. Hope that helps. I really would call them before you take my word for it just to be sure.

Cannot help you there as I do not have the other two. This one is solid heavy pan so I doubt the other will be any different.

Gordon, I'm not sure what the difference is. I think the old one I replaced did not have the 1265 either. I was not sure if the one I ordered was going to work. But it fit perfectly well. If your boiler have an automatic damper and a hot water circulator, the one I purchased should do the job.

I don't know which one this is, but if it is a stationary handle, it has two screws. They are not hidden.

I'm looking at my 3 quart and it says it on the bottom of the pan.... Oh... looking at Franks answer. He is correct. It is on the handle between the two rivets or screws whatever they are.
