Description: Vintage Copper & Ceramic Bain Marie Double Boiler, 8 lbs., Tagus, Portugal 1960s Condition: Beautiful Bain Marie set, 4 parts counting the copper mounted brass handle on the white ceramic liner. One owner. Copper reflects normal and customary sign of wear. No dents. The ceramic liner is pristine, no cracks. These often do not survive. Two long handles and 1 gripping handle, one brass knob. Bain Marie and a double boiler are often used interchangeably, but they serve slightly different purposes in the kitchen: Bain Marie (Water Bath) Purpose: Used to gently heat food or keep it warm over a period of time. Setup: Consists of a large container filled with hot water, into which a smaller container with the food is placed. Uses: Ideal for baking delicate desserts like custards, cheesecakes, or for keeping sauces warm. Double Boiler Purpose: Used to cook or melt ingredients that are sensitive to direct heat. Setup: Consists of two pots; the bottom pot is filled with water, and the top pot (or bowl) sits above it, heated by the steam from the boiling water. Uses: Perfect for melting chocolate, making delicate sauces, or cooking custards. Portugal copper cookware is a good buy for the money. The copper is a bit thinner at 1.5 mm, but in a Double Boiler thinner is better. When you pull a sauce off the heat so it will not break, you do not want thicker copper radiating excess heat. Weight: 8 pounds the set Diameter: 7 inches at the bottom copper base. Height: 8.75 inches high at the top brass handle Logo: Made in Portugal on center of bottom copper pot We ship all items in bubble wrap inside a corrugated box.
