Known as a “Bain Marie” in France, this 1.6-qt. double boiler delivers subtle yet steady heat to delicate foods such as chocolates, custards, sauces, or cheeses. The gentle process ensures there will be no scalding or over-heating. The Bain Marie works by stacking two pans together on the stovetop with the lower pan simmering water directly over the burner, while the upper pan holds the chocolate or cheese over the steam heat. These two pans also include porcelain inserts, which further diffuses and stabilizes the heat, making this one of the gentlest and most effective double boilers on the market.

The Cupretam Pour la Table style features pots, pans and items that function gracefully on both the stovetop and tabletop. With striking cast-iron or bronze side handles attached to the cookware via sturdy copper rivets, they are crafted with tinned interiors, polished exteriors and can be used on any heating element except on induction hob.
