Tomatillo. It's fun to see old cookware make a comeback these days. I use a double broiler to temper the egg cream for carbonara. Kills off worrisome bugs but doesn't scramble the eggs.
Swoop #1.
Edit Addition For Trivia: Tomatillo for the win.
Early bird gets the … trivia?! Thanks for watching, Thanatos! 🙏
Really great information, as always, Matt! I never knew about double boilers until now! We learn so much from you!
You do indeed have a lovely wife who also seems really sweet!
I just recently found your channel and have only watched a handful of your videos so far, so had never seen Christine before... so I'm really glad she made a guess appearance! ... and yeah she picked the perfect time to pop in 😄... I'd be big as a barn if I lived with such a talented chef, so kudos to her for her overall restraint.
Merry Christmas to you both as well, of course!
Thank you for the kind words, and I’m thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the content! Wishing you all the best in the holiday season, and a blessed 2024 🙏
@@IWantToCook Thank you & likewise! 🎄 🎆 🙂
My mom used to use a double boiler to make brownies. She'd melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter. Then she probably added the eggs and vanilla and sugar, but I don't remember how she did that without scrambling the eggs. Then she'd add the flour mixture into the pan. We'd always lick the pan. I don't anymore though. Well, that's not a jitomate.
I also got to lick a bowl now and then as a kid. Seems like simpler times that we could use more of these days! 😀
Great video!! I appreciate your thoroughness!
Thank you very much! 🙏
Do you know if these are explosion proof? There was a case of someone doing this type of setup with a standard pot and bowl and they overfilled the pot where the bowl could submerge into the water, which allowed pressure to build up in a vacuum which exploded boiling water.
Gads, that’s the first I’ve heard of such a thing. Steam can indeed be powerful - it moved locomotives, after all - but I’ve never experienced such pressures when double boiling. Perhaps it was a fluke and that person unwittingly created a pressure cooker, but that would take a mighty seal. If you’re truly worried, simply lift the upper pot/bowl occasionally to release any pressure buildup. Cheers!
It’s a tomatillo!

I have a stainless steel double boiler, using it for fool-proof scramble egg! Also use it to de-fishy taste of the can sardine in water. I don't trust the quality of olive oil in can sardine and the kind of tomato or mustard sauce tastes yuk so I don't buy them. The one I buy is simply sardine in water, however it tastes kind a fishy, to get rid off that taste I have to dry it out. Drain off all the water then place the fish in double boiler. The pan gets the gentle heat from the steam would make the fish dry without burning it.
Great idea!
