Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions
Product Description
All-Clad's highly polished stainless steel steamer carries the same signature handles and lifetime warranty as the other pieces in this line. It's a useful piece for cooking veggies, shrimp, and other foods without the use of fat or oil. Steaming is an ideal method if retaining the color, texture, and nutritional value of your food is important.
Amazon.com Review
Designed for the delicate timing and high heat demands of steam cooking, this All-Clad stainless-steel steamer nestles deep into cooking vessels. The tiered structure fits both 6- and 8-inch diameter pots and creates an ideal steaming environment for small and large quantities of vegetables, greens, and fresh shellfish. Crafted from heavy-gauge 18/10 stainless steel, the steamer is strong without clumsiness and is easily controlled by its two riveted side loop handles. Measuring 8-1/2 inches in diameter, the lid features a deep draw to keep steam from escaping and has a gleaming mirror finish to match the body. Both pieces are pretty enough to bring to the table--a rather unusual trait in steamers--and safe in the dishwasher. Measuring 8-1/4 inches in diameter at the opening, handles excluded, the steamer carries All-Clad's lifetime warranty. --Emily Bedard

Fantastic Steamer! And GORGEOUS to look at as well... - Reviewed on 2007-06-03

Okay, I admit I have an All-Clad fetish after spending a small fortune on my Copper Core set, and a stainless non-stick skillet. So naturally I had to have this steamer insert as well. It looks just beautiful with the All-Clad pots, pretty enough to serve from at the table with company, and it performs MARVELOUSLY! Not a bit of steam escapes from either the connection at the pan, or from the steamer's lid. The food steams fast and furious and wonderfully--much better than with the old collapsible type steamer I used with my former Calphalon.
I also like that the moment the food is done, I can toss directly into the steamer a little butter or oil and some salt, and mix it around with the veggies quickly and easily--which was NOT the case with the collapsible type steamers that had to be removed from the pan before anything could be done to them (usually burning at least one finger or thumb!)
It fits my Copper Core 1.5 quart and 2 quart saucepans the best. It does fit the larger 4 quart saucepan as well, though the connection between the pot and steamer is not perfect--almost, but it does not seat perfectly as with the smaller saucepans, which if fine as they are all you need even even when steaming a large batch of veggies or clams in this steamer.
Ahhh, I've reached steamer nirvana, at last...!
Highly recommend this piece of All-Clad for a splurge--you're worth it!
