Does anyone have savory recipes that use the Double Boiler? I'm finding mostly dessert & hollandaise sauce recipes. My host just bought one, but would like more of a savory recipe to use. Suggestions? TIA
 
Here are some savory recipes that you can make with a double boiler: 1. Mushroom Risotto: Cook Arborio rice in a double boiler with stock and mushrooms until creamy and tender. 2. Chinese Steamed Fish: Place a fish filet on a plate and add ginger, garlic, scallion, and soy sauce. Place the plate in a double boiler and steam until cooked through. 3.

1. What is a savory double boiler recipe?

A savory double boiler recipe is a cooking technique that involves using two pots, one on top of the other, to gently heat and cook delicate foods such as sauces, custards, and chocolate. The bottom pot is filled with simmering water, while the top pot holds the ingredients that need to be cooked. This indirect heat method helps prevent scorching and ensures a smooth and even cooking process.

2. Can I use any type of pot as a double boiler?

No, not all pots are suitable for use as a double boiler. It is recommended to use a dedicated double boiler set, which typically includes a bottom pot and a top pot that fit together perfectly. This ensures that the heat is evenly distributed and prevents steam from escaping. However, if you do not have a double boiler set, you can improvise by using a heatproof glass or metal bowl as the top pot and a saucepan or stockpot as the bottom pot.

3. What are some popular savory dishes that can be made using a double boiler?

Some popular savory dishes that can be made using a double boiler include hollandaise sauce, cheese sauce, custards, poached eggs, and melted chocolate for dipping fruits or making truffles. It is also great for making delicate seafood dishes like lobster bisque or steamed fish.

4. How do I properly set up a double boiler?

To set up a double boiler, fill the bottom pot with about 2 inches of water and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Place the top pot on top of the bottom pot, making sure the water does not touch the bottom of the top pot. Add the ingredients to the top pot and cook according to the recipe's instructions, stirring frequently.

5. Are there any tips for using a double boiler?

Some tips for using a double boiler include making sure the water in the bottom pot does not boil too vigorously, as this can cause the top pot to shake and potentially spill. Also, make sure to use oven mitts or a towel when handling the top pot, as it can get hot. Lastly, avoid getting any water from the bottom pot into the top pot, as this can ruin the consistency of your dish.
