The Bain-Marie, also known as double boiler, is an essential tool for delicate preparations that require gentle, even heat: melted chocolate, cheese fondue, hollandaise sauce, custard and creme anglaise... Fill the copper saucepan with hot water, then watch your ingredients cook gently in the porcelain insert to perfect velvety consistency.

When a double boiler is not needed, simply remove the porcelain insert to turn your Bain-Marie into a solid copper you’ll use on a daily basis!

Crafted in solid copper for superior heat conductivity, hammered for increased strength and lasting beauty and tin-lined by hand over fire — so naturally low-stick. The riveted stick handles are cast in solid bronze, and the lid is crowned by Ruffoni's signature acorns and leaves.

Made in Italy.
