A Double Boiler is a covered kettle that comes in two parts. The top of the boiler contains the food to be cooked, and fits closely into the lower part, which should always be % full of boiling water. The double boiler is used for keeping foods hot, for cooking cereals, sauces, egg mixtures, and similar foods which are cooked under the boiling point.

A Steamer is a covered kettle with a perforated tray, upon which the food is placed either directly or in a separate dish. The water should never reach above the tray and should boil slowly, allowing steam to rise through the holes. Greater food value is retained and more mineral salts are saved by steaming.
