Hi! For Christmas Eve I made Buckeyes (chocolate covered peanut butter balls) but I didn't have a double boiler like the recipe called for so I had to use the microwave as smooth and creamy as I am imaging a double boiler would do? I also had an idea that I could purchase a fondue pot? What are the benefits of a double boiler over a fondue pot? and vice versa
A fondue pot can be taken to the table for dipping/serving, where a double boiler would make this kind of crude. As far as heating is concerned, both would have the ability to gently heat the cheese or chocolate or whatever you are trying to serve. Merry Christmas
once in a double-broiler, and once in a fondue pot, i found the Double broiler a little easier to work with by adding ingredients and stirring, but i did not have any complient with either of them.
Double boiler: higher temperatures more controlled temperatures specifically for cooking used on the stove Fondue pot: made more for maintaining a temperature more difficult to control a temperature (important for candy making) cannot obtain and sustain very high temperatures cannot be used on the stove
