Question: Do the handles become very hot during cooking?
Document: I replaced a double steamer with this one, which is not as solid but entirely usable. It is a bit tinny and the parts do not fit in securely and the handles are hot,  but it does the job. The extra section that can  be used as a double boiler is a bonus although most professional chefs suggest you stick a glass bowl into a pot so this is not necessary. It is also easy to clean.
A super deal in more ways than one: very reasonable cost and great quality. I was looking high and low for a sauce pot with steamer insert with handles on the outside...and with this set I got that surprise double boiler feature!
I used this over the holidays to melt chocolate for cookies, truffles, and other delicious sweets. Melted the chocolate just fine.My one complaint: it's hard to control where the steam comes out. It often would blow out near one of the handles and it was difficult to change direction. It would be nice if there were a small spout or something to direct that steam.Otherwise, it's a very nice product.
This was a Christmas gift for a family friend. He wanted a double boiler, when I saw this I thought WOW and purchased it. Well to say the least, he was over the moon with it and thinks that the steamer addition to the double boiler is the best combo. He is happily cooking away now.
:0)  We have tried many ways to prepare shrimp, grilling, boiling, broiling, fried-  but steamed always seemed to taste the best- without dryness or overcooking. This unit worked great. Glass top is vented and although you need to use hot pads to remove from levels from the stove top- was not a problem. Mrs wants to use the double boiler for baking so far a good buy for both the steamer and double boiler all together in this unit. Shipping was very quick from Amazon. Seems sturdy and stainless steel should hopefully last a long time!
this item looks good, however it is very small. it is made for small family, so it did not work for me.
one layer , there is no hole...and very small, not even enough for one people.but the quality is not bad
it is very easy to cook and me and my boyfriend love it so much. we will keep use it
Works great with veggies. A bit small if you want to put a whole chicken breast in there so one would have to cut it up. Clean it after use since it's not Teflon and the leftover from meat will somewhat stick.Good product for the price.
Wife wanted a double boiler for baking sized perfectly and the Double Boiler & Steamer all in one also a space saver.
Answer: pot holders for the handles are needed, yes; maybe moreso for gas flame than electric but better to be safe than sorry
