Double Boiler tips?

I wish I would have read this before I just purchased a double boiler. I, too, make fudge from a recipe that says to use a double boiler, but last night it was boiling for 1.5 hours but the fudge mixture did not budge. What I finally did was dump the hot liquid into my pan with the thick base and finished it.

The good news is that it only took 10 minutes, rather than the usual 20. AND I had let it sit awhile first as I was watching the Discovery channel. SO I'm thinking that if I transfer it good and hot, it may only take a few minutes to get to soft ball. Beats 20 minutes of arm breaking stirring!!
