Many people have been searching En Chocolat for ‘chocolate making machines’ and while the thought of a portable chocolate factory makes me laugh I thought it was time to give you all a resource to find just what you are looking for. Behold these ‘chocolate making machines’ (also known as double boilers) which are used by chocolatiers worldwide to melt down chocolate and combine ingredients to create delicious chocolate treats!

Nordicware Double Boiler – This contraption fits in to your 2-4 quart saucepans and allows your chocolate to melt slowly over heated water.
For just $14 this is a particularly affordable option. |

Paula Deen Double Boiler Set – This set eliminates the need for your own pan since it includes the 3 Qt. Covered Saucepan & Stainless Steel Steamer Insert.
For $39.99 this is still an affordable option and ensures a proper fit to the saucepan. |

Paderno Double Boiler – This is a slightly more novel concept when it comes to chocolate making, pouring water in through the plastic handle it slowly heats the water and circulates it around the pot to melt chocolate evenly.
For $49.95 this is a little more expensive option but seems to suit some people more than more traditional double boilers. |

Mauviel Double Boiler with Porcelain Insert – This is a far more professional option for chocolate making. The copper conducts heat more efficiently than steel and the porcelain insert helps to stabilize heat.
For $27o this is an option to consider only if you seek to become a professional chocolatier. |
