Sorry, no link or picture came through with the message (at least not on my
server).

I've got an old Farberware stainless 3 quart double boiler that works pretty
well.

Wow. Fancy, high tech look. But I'll stick with the tried and proven
classic model of one pan atop another. I use a double boiler so rarely
that I could not justify the price (although $39 plus shipping isn't
outrageous). But if you need one frequently, this does look easy to
use, and doesn't sit so high.

Much of the time I use a double boiler, it's to do something like melt
or temper chocolate. I need to be able to take the inner pan off the
heat source when I've got it at the right temp, and put it back
briefly when it cools down. An electric version of that, with an
accurate thermostatic control would be cool.

You can do that with any double boiler. The top pan should always be
easily removable for that very reason. Now, for an electric version
with thermostatic control, I might suggest an electric pressure cooker,
used with the lid of, and instead a double boiler insert pan (found
easily on the web) that fits the top of the pressure cooker pot.
