The Clearview Stainless Steel Porringer is designed to cook delicate sauces. The lower pan envelopes the upper saucepan in water, thereby maintaining an even temperature to prevent the burning or curdling of sauces and custards, and the burning of foods such as scrambled egg. The set includes a 16cm saucepan with a thick encapsulated base, plus a 14cm insert with a rounded bottom, vented toughened glass steam lid, and cool touch riveted side handles. Suitable for use on all types of hobs including induction.
