The Cuisinart MCP111-20N MultiClad Pro Universal Double Boiler with Cover is a 20 cm stainless steel double boiler from Cuisinart's MultiClad Pro series, built with triple-ply construction to deliver gentle, even heat for melting chocolate, warming sauces, and cooking delicate custards. It's a natural fit for home cooks who want restaurant-level precision without buying bulky specialty equipment.
This 20 cm / 8 in insert is designed to work as the top of a water bath, turning a compatible Cuisinart base pan into a controlled low-heat cooker. The triple-ply stainless body spreads heat evenly and eliminates hot spots, while the updated cast stainless handle stays cooler on the stovetop and is riveted for durable, confident handling. Tapered rims make pouring clean and drip-free, and the cover keeps heat and moisture inside when you need it.
Because it's a 20 cm universal double boiler, the MCP111-20N fits Cuisinart MultiClad Pro saucepans and sauté pans with a matching base diameter. If you're buying this as a replacement or addition, measure the opening of your base pot to confirm the 20 cm size works for your setup. For a full double-boiler experience, choose a saucepan deep enough to hold simmering water without touching the insert.
Whether you're a home cook working through a French recipe or someone who just wants consistently smooth sauce, this Cuisinart MCP111-20N MultiClad Pro double boiler is an easy pantry upgrade that travels well from stovetop to table.

Direct heat can ruin a delicate emulsion or turn melting chocolate into a grainy mess. A double boiler keeps the cooking surface at a gentle, controlled temperature, giving you time to work without babysitting the pot. The Cuisinart MCP111-20N MultiClad Pro Universal Double Boiler makes this technique simple: fit it over a compatible base pan, add simmering water, and let the triple-ply insert do the rest.
To get the full benefit of this 20 cm insert, match it with a base pot that lets the lower pan hold enough water without touching the insert. A 20 cm Cuisinart saucepan with a tight lid works well; a slightly larger sauté pan can also support it if the fit is stable. When in doubt, test the fit before heating and always place the insert securely so steam can circulate gently beneath it.
While the double boiler is dishwasher safe, a quick hand wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge keeps the stainless finish looking like new. Avoid chlorine-based cleaners and steel wool, and dry the pan before stacking to prevent water spots. With this simple routine, your Cuisinart MultiClad Pro double boiler will stay ready for your next batch of sauce or chocolate truffles.
It's ideal for melting chocolate and butter, making hollandaise, warming custards, and reheating delicate sauces without scorching.
The 20 cm / 8 in diameter is designed for Cuisinart MultiClad Pro saucepans and sauté pans with a compatible 20 cm opening. Measure your pot's top rim to confirm the fit.
Yes, the pan and cover are oven safe and broiler safe up to 550°F / 288°C, making it useful for warming or keeping finished food hot.
Yes, the manufacturer states it is dishwasher safe. Hand washing is still a good idea if you want to protect the polished stainless exterior.
Works perfectly
This double boiler melts chocolate without scorching. It's sturdy and heats evenly. Great addition to my kitchen.
I've always used a makeshift double boiler with a metal bowl over a pot, which was wobbly and inefficient. This Cuisinart set is so much better. The universal design means the top pot fits snugly into a 20 cm saucepan, but you can use it with other pots too. The stainless steel is brushed and looks professional. It heats gently and evenly, perfect for custards and hollandaise. The lid has a small hole for steam to escape, which prevents condensation from dripping into your sauce. Cleanup is easy; the pans are dishwasher safe but I hand wash to keep the finish. This is a well-made, versatile piece.
I make a lot of buttercream and this double boiler is a lifesaver. It prevents the egg whites from scrambling. The pan is a good size. The lid fits well.
Good quality double boiler. The top pot is not as deep as I hoped, but it's perfect for melting chocolate. The handles stay cool. It's easy to pour from. I'm satisfied.
I bought this for my son who cooks professionally. He says it's very practical. It's well made. The price is reasonable for the quality.
