Before steel boilers came about,
it was a challenge to manually hover small but ill-fitting
bowls or saucepans over a larger boiling pot of water without
scalding yourself or getting moisture into the chocolate,
and stirring the chocolate bits at the same time to prevent
them from burning.
As steel boilers are made with
both pots to fit, they free up your hands so that you can
concentrate on the stirring.
Also because of the snug fit,
you no longer have to worry that vapors will end up in the
chocolate and prevent it from being smooth.
If your
main purpose is to melt chocolate, an 8inch wide model will
be sufficient.
Larger steel boilers of 12 inches and above are better used for making jams and chutneys. |

As the cooking is done using indirect heat from the boiling water, you do not have to keep checking the process and stirring constantly to prevent the sugars in these fruity spreads from burning.
If you would like to try your hand at home-made ice-cream,
steel boilers of this size is an excellent choice over which
to whisk the double cream and egg yolks.
As you can see, steel boilers have their unique uses in the kitchen, even though we may not use them everyday. They are able to bring our cooking up another level in terms of skills, variety and food presentation. So don’t hesitate and get your own set today. You won’t regret it.
