My mother had one of these, and I've been looking for a good one for years. They're harder to find than you'd imagine. I thought I might find a used one for cheap on craigslist or facebook marketplace, but no luck. Then I found what I thought was a cheap one on Wayfair - but it's not cheap at all, unless you just are talking cost. I was so impressed when it arrived. Now, I'm a double boiler kind of mom. Hollandaise here we come.
