Double Boilers

Double boilers are specialized kitchen appliances used to gently heat or melt delicate ingredients without direct contact with high heat. Typically made from NSF-listed stainless steel, they are common in busy foodservice environments like institutional cafeterias, ghost kitchens, and catering operations where precise temperature control is critical. These units are perfect for melting chocolate, warming sauces, or preparing custards—tasks that can easily scorch if not managed carefully. Well, if you're battling uneven heating or spending too much time cleaning complicated equipment, a quality double boiler might just be the answer you’re looking for—especially in high-traffic kitchens where consistency matters. For added precision, consider models with a 90°F rated double boiler insert, so you get gentle, even heat every time, making food safety and quality a top priority for chefs and kitchen staff alike.
