Most cast iron "combo cookers" are two piece; They include a deep skillet and a shallow skillet that doubles as a lid.Pictured above is a rare three piece combo cooker. It includes a deep pot, a medium sized pot, and a shallow skillet that can be used as a lid for both sized pots.
The medium sized pot can be used inside the deep pot as a double boiler.
I've stated before that there are no cast iron double boilers, and there aren't any on the market today; But apparently, there used to be.
I have the Lodge two piece combo cooker, as well as the double dutch oven. But frankly, I prefer using a regular lid; it's awkward to use the skillet as a lid.
do you know the brand on the 3 piece cooker set?
ReplyDeleteI have one of the 3, the bottom one. I'd like to find the other 2 to complete the set. Also, sizes if you know them. Thanks
