Calphalon Stainless Steel Universal Steamer Insert with Lid Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very nice steamer - I use it a lot for vegetables like asparagus. One thing I was worried about was whether it would fit in my pots properly, but the graduated ridges work fine with two of my pots. The fact that this one comes with a glass top make it worth the extra money. The only negative is that the handles can get hot, so be careful.

This truly versatile steamer insert has three graduated ridges on its bottom that allow it to be used with a wide range of Calphalon cookware, meaning that you'll use it with the cookware you already own and do less juggling of pots when cooking complicated meals. This is great for steaming vegetables and fish, making couscous, cooking tamales and other small packets of food, and even reheating leftover rice. The tempered glass lid with stainless-steel handle and rim fits snugly inside, allowing you to keep an eye on food without losing steam or flavor.Made of 18/10 stainless steel, it is dishwasher-safe and carries a lifetime warranty.

Simply Calphalon Stainless Multipot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this set to replace another pot of similar size. I figured that this would be a great deal - it's got inserts and it's from Calphalon at a great price too. The tempered glass cover fits well and is helpful because you can see inside without removing the cover although it spits when the pot is at a full and rapid boil. It's a stainless steel piece so it's not dark when you look inside like many other Calphalon pieces. The aluminum bottom is not the same as on their commercial or professional lines. It's a heavy-duty aluminum bottom attached to a stainless steel pot. Even though the pot along with the bottom is thicker and heavier than most other lines that do the same, it did not heat up like other Calphalon pieces that I own. Still, I cooked a stew at a slow simmer for six hours and it didn't burn at the bottom. A good thing.
This is the first time that I have inserts like these and I don't think much of the big insert. To cook pasta or food, you need to add an additional 2 quarts of water (the amount needed to touch the bottom of the insert) making it more time consuming to use. I will cook my pasta without the insert and may use the insert as a colander/drainer. The small insert is useful because you can steam items while boiling pasta or other items
All in all, a good pot not a great one at a great price.
