Yes, but the pot and the inner bowl are usually found separatley.  Remember the
smallish metal bowl with the rim that makes sort of handles?  That came with
the Revereware pots, a wedding present, lo these decades ago.  I can't think of
the last time I actually used a double boiler as such, although I get tempted
to find a way to make a BIG one for NOT scorching a big pot of spaghetti sauce.

Maggie: Yikes!  Was that anytime recently?

One of the coolest things I used to own was a [get this] microwave pressure
cooker.  The gasket gave out finally, and I miss it.  Throw in rock-hard frozen
chicken, a little water and a sliced onion, and half an hour later it's
dinner.  Woo hoo!
