Customers like the size of the steamer. They say it fits perfectly into all of their pots, is well made, and sturdy. Some say it even fits in their old steamer pot.

Fits very well in most of my 6 inch, 7 inch and 8 inch pots. Doesn't fit in my All Clad 2 quart pot. So, just be aware, this insert may fit most, there will be some exceptions. The glass lid fits very well and has a little heft to it, holds in the steam very well. Performs as you would expect. It has a large capacity too. Cleanup in the dishwasher is a snap. Manual cleaning isn't difficult. In the pic that I posted with my review, the basket is sitting in my Cuisinart 1.5 quart saucepan. I'm happy with this and recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get this one, not the Cuisinart Princess. Take it from me: I have both.

A MUCH, much better product! I had previously ordered and bought via Amazon the Cuisinart 7116-20 Chef's Classic 20-Centimeter Universal Steamer with Cover. It was okay. I guess. It really didn't fit well with any of my saucepans: it kind of rolled around on top of all of them, including the biggest it was supposed to fit. It was shiny and glamorous-looking, but difficult to work with (sounds like some half-baked actress wannabe?). Didn't want to be in the dishwasher, and was afraid it might discolor (oho, no!!!) over (eek!) an actual gas flame. I thought that was the best I could expect.

Until this one!

It fits snugly and securely into all my favorite saucepans. It's easy to use, easy to wash, etc. Safe handles, too, though, like some many of the Circulon range, they are harder to nest and store with other pans, even those of their own tribe.

Got this today and steamed some veggies for dinner and everything turned out perfect. Fit my pot very nicely and it is not a Circulon pan. Quality seems excellent and clean up a breeze. Thank the good Lord I don't have to deal with those horrible collapsible steamers. They are so hard to clean and they fall apart so easily. UGH!!! Some have said this is small, but I don't think so at all. Think you could put a lot of veggies in here for a family of six or more. I know I will be using this for steaming veggies and fish. My only con would be that the lid should have a silicone handle or covering. It's pretty hot so use potholders for sure.....same with the pot handles. That minor addition would make this steamer insert PERFECTION! But, even saying that......I would highly recommend!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product as advertised, one caveat.
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2016

I find this extremely useful. I make egg custard in the morning for myself and my husband as breakfast. We used to use a saucepan to heat up the water and put another bowl inside with the egg/water mixture. It was so cumbersome to use. This little steamer however, was easy. Plus it stores easily with our other pots. I was very hesitant to buy another cookware, but this one will work with multiple saucepans.

The only thing I don't like about it is that it won't work well if the saucepan doesn't have a flat rim. Those that have 'easy-to-pour' pouring spouts on rims won't work well with this steamer because the steam will get out. Check your saucepans before buying.

Pros:
- Work as advertised, good built quality
- Fit multiple pan sizes

Con:
- won't work for saucepans with pouring spouts or rims.

I just got this and it's a wonderful addition to my circulon set. It fits perfectly in my 2 qt and 3 qt pots. No issues. It sits very tightly over the opening. The lid is great too! This is exactly what I was looking for instead of buying MORE pots. So now I'm able to utilize what I have more efficiently. Happy with this for now. I'll update this when I use it.

Update: 23 September 2017- I used this steamer to make some broccoli. It steamed it very well. The basket held a lot of broccoli. I used 1 big stalk and a little stalk and I still had more room left over. Next time I'll take a picture. I forgot to do so this time.

The steamer is of good quality and well built. It does have a stepped/contoured bottom to fit many different pot sizes. I have 2.5 quart and a 1.5 quart Contemporary Calphalon pots that it fits fairly well but not perfect. It fits well enough to do the job it was intended for, but for the price, I guess it could have included the bottom half like the Cuisinart (Same Price of $26.00) that I saw at Home Goods. Overall I would say it is a reasonable item to get if you want to steam vegetables.

I had an electric plastic standalone steamer that lasted a long time and worked well but the plastic colander part wore out and cracked so I was in the market for something more durable that’ll last me until I’m old. I think this is it. I’ve steamed quite a few things and they turn out great if I time them well. The steamer fits nicely into at least two of my pots and has a nice glass lid. Cooks more quickly than my countertop model and there’s less appliance clutter in my kitchen now because this stores nicely on a shelf in my cupboard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than a plastic microwave steamer!
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2016
Verified Purchase
I was tired of having to reach up high over the stove to use the microwave to steam vegetables. It's was quick, but has drawbacks. I couldn't easily steam dumplings, pot stickers, egg rolls. Chinese Bao buns, or other home made items like that. The best feature of this steamer is that I can easily lift the lid to test potatoes, for example, to see if they are done. Starting and stopping the microwave was tedious. This fits perfectly on the Calphalon Unison Nonstick 4 quart soup pot that I bought to go with it. Heavy and well made. Quality shows with this brand. It will last a lifetime.
