I don't actually own a double boiler. I use one when I am on television all the time, but at home I have a 6 quart sauce pan that I put about 2 inches of water into. I heat this over a burner on medium-high heat. Depending on how much I am cooking I use a 2.5 or 4 liter Pyrex mixing bowl set on top of the boiling pot of water. This is nice because I have one less pot or bowl to clean but I can also see through the glass into the pan to keep an eye on the boiling water.
