Saucemaking need not be intimidating with this beautiful hammered French copper bain marie. The secret lies in its French porcelain insert, made by Apilco, which envelops the sauce in soft, delicate heat and maintains it at the proper temperature.

The insert has a 1.6 qt. capacity and is 14cm (5-1/2") in diameter with a removable bronze handle and a snug-fitting lid [adorned by a bronze acorn knob]. The lid also fits the classically tin-lined bottom, thus serving as a saucepan. A wonderful wedding present for the cooking couple.

The thickness of the copper on this beautiful piece is 2mm, making it quite heavy. Due to the excessive weight of this item, a $4.00 shipping charge will be added.
