Abstract
A saucepan of the double boiler type. The saucepan includes a lower water receptacle, an upper food receptacle and an attached handle. The handle defines an enclosed fill chamber which communicates with the lower water receptacle via a hole. A cap is connected to the handle by an over center hinge and covers a fill hole through which water may be introduced into the chamber and thence to the water receptacle. The cap may have a hole therein to provide an aural indicator of water boiling in the water receptacle.
