14cm Double Boiler is a compact two-pot heating tool designed for gentle, indirect heat when working with delicate ingredients. It is especially useful for melting waxes, butters, and emulsifiers without exposing them to direct heat, which helps reduce the risk of scorching or overheating. This is a practical tool for small-batch formulation work, not a powered appliance. It is also useful in the kitchen for gentle heating tasks such as melting chocolate or warming sauces.
♡ Why we love it: A good double boiler makes small-batch making feel calmer and more controlled. It is one of those simple tools that quickly becomes indispensable when you want cleaner melting, better heat control, and more confidence while formulating.
