Title: Shout Out For William Sonoma and de Buyer
Post by: ACW3 on November 03, 2014, 10:01:00 PM
I bought a de Buyer double boiler from Williams Sonoma a number of years ago.  I saw this double boiler not long after it showed up in a Williams Sonoma when I lived in Virginia.  I saw the benefits of being able to have one pot that was actually two pots-in-one for making sauces.  I bought it and have been using it until about a week ago.  There is a sight glass level that allows you to see the amount of water in the inner pot.  Well, I managed to break the sight glass.  I contacted Williams Sonoma to see if I could get a sight glass replacement.  Within hours I received an email that said they were forwarding it to the supplier, a French company called de Buyer.  By the next morning I received another email, this time from de Buyer. They were sorry for the trouble and they would be sending me a new double boiler from their warehouse in GA.  It arrived today.  Needless to say, their response to my problem went above and beyond my expectations.  I wish more people acted as they did.  BRAVO to both Williams Sonoma and de Buyer.  I will continue to shop them both.

Here is the box my new double boiler came in.

This is my new double boiler.

Back to making sauces, again.  I’ll try real hard not to break the new one!!

I worked for WS for a year or so. Great company. Outfitted most of my kitchen with a 40% employee discount. Spent more than I made
