Progressive 3.5-Quart Asparagus Steamer Set Review

Average Reviews:

I bought this asparagus steamer a couple of years ago and was able to use it only a few times because the basket and the bottom of the steamer rusted right away. I have several stainless steel pots and none of them rusted...they are not supposed to. I was definitely not happy with the product!

MIU Stainless 10-Quart Steamer and Pasta Cooker with Glass Lid Review

MIU Stainless 10-Quart Steamer and Pasta Cooker with Glass Lid
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this pot specifically for making chicken stock, and it did the job perfectly. The contents heated up quickly and evenly on my glass top stove. I was able to bring a full pot to a boil within a few minutes. With my old 4 quart RevereWare pot, it would take 15-20 minutes to bring water to a boil. This MIU pot obviously has good heat retention and distribution. The bottom is thick and heavy and the entire pot has a good solid feel to it. The lid fits properly, and there were no problems with sputtering or dripping from the lid. The glass is a nice bonus. You can check on your food without having to the lift the lid and lose heat. I have not used the steamer basket or pasta insert. Both fit well, though. The pasta cooker, when inserted, sits about 1 inch from the bottom of the pot, but I cannot comment on its performance. The steamer basket has a handle for lifting that's hard to see in the photo. It's unlikely that I'll use the pasta cooker or steamer basket any time soon, but if I do, I'll update this review.

This cooker is very light weight steel. It looks good and functions well, but will probably not be kitchen quality for very many years. After just a few uses, the steel is beginning to "pit" in the bottom. This leads me to believe that this pot was not made with high quality stainless steel.

This highly functional cooker is great for making perfect asparagus. The stems cook at a higher heat than the tips, making for even cooking throughout. Also very handy for steaming and cooking other items like carrots or corn and even hard boiled eggs. Made of high-grade stainless steel this set includes the pot, lid and chrome basket.

Asparagus Steamer Cooker also for Broccoli Corn Cauliflower Review

(More customer reviews)
This is one one of the best products you can possibly have in your kitchen for steaming veggies. I own two of them. They are extremely easy to use, clean and store. The legs of the mesh basket are very important and allow you to pour the water used for steaming into the bottom of the container without the veggies actually touching the water during the steaming process. The vented glass top is a MUST for the steaming process and does two essential things. First it allows steam to rise through out the container and escape in a controlled fashion at the top thereby assuring a through steaming & cooking process and equally as important permits the cook to control the heat on your stove needed to produce a regulated funnel of steam by visually seeing and guaging the intensity of the steam funnel coming from the small orifice located on the glass lid. Once the funnel starts to steam you can turn your stove down to low and let the steamer do its job for the next 15-20 minutes. This is a great steamer for food for two or possibly three people for a meal. Will steam asparagus, corn, potatoes, broccoli, brussels sprout, squash as well as any other vegetable that you want to put into the container. You can put more than one kind of vegetable in the steamer at the same time if desired. One word of caution,the stainless steel handles and lid become very hot. Be sure to use gloves or a heating pad when handling the pot, glass top or metal vegetable insert.

8 Quart Multi Cooker Pasta Lock & Drain 3 in 1 Stock Pot Set Review

8 Quart Multi Cooker Pasta Lock and Drain 3 in 1 Stock Pot Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a really nice pan. I have used it many times. It is good quality and the right size for my family. The steamer basket works great and so does the lock and drain system. The only thing that I don't like is the lid design. If you aren't using the drain piece the lid sits down in a groove and is not tight fitting so when the food gets hot and boils the lid jiggles and makes noise and spews water drops all over the stove top or floor. I have had to resort to using a lid from another pan that fits better, go figure!

I cook a lot, private chef. Bought this for myself, great for asparagus & perfect for pasta. Basket webbing is small enough so I can steam smaller items, basket hook a good feature. Added plus, it does not take up a lot of storage space. Liked it so much that I got one for my daughter. I recommend it.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have to say I am disappointed over all. The bulging bottom seems to cause the boiling water to rise up on the outside of the strainer rather than boil up through the holes and agitate the pasta. I also found a humid summer caused spots of rust to spring up due to a poor grade of steel.

Farberware Classic Stack 'N Steam 3-Quart Saucepot and Steamer Review

Farberware Classic Stack 'N Steam 3-Quart Saucepot and Steamer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This has got to be the deal of the century, and not only that, these pans will last you almost that long! My mother has had a set for 35 years, and I've had mine for 5. Nearly indestructible, dishwasher safe, good performers on the stovetop, with stay-cool handles! They even look great after all those years!
Keep in mind that because they are mostly stainless steel, with an aluminum bottom, Farberware does not heat up quite as fast as, say, hard-anodized aluminum such as Calphalon, which gourmets prefer. Stainless steel is a poor heat conductor, while aluminum is good and copper is the best. On the plus side, you can't put Calphalon in the dishwasher and Calphalon does not have true stay-cool handles, like Farberware.
Anyway, how often do you buy a gift knowing that it will still be around 20, 30, 40 years from now? By the way, if the pot does have a problem, they come with a Lifetime Warranty.

What could be healthier than steamed veggies on a bed of rice or pasta? With this stackable set you can utilize the steam from whatever's simmering below to cook whatever's on top.How's that for cooking efficiency? Functional as well as beautiful, this 3-quart saucepot and 2-quart steamer insert are made of heavy 18/10 stainless steel polished to a mirror finish. The pot has an aluminum core in its base to spread heat quickly and evenly. The core is completely clad in stainless steel so, like the rest of the pot and the steamer, the pot bottom resists corrosion and discoloring and cleans up easily. Thick rolled rims add durability and make it possible to pour from the pot without dripping. Because the pot is 4-1/2 inches deep and comes with a tight-fitting, domed lid, it is roomy enough to simmer stocks and soups and can also be used for braising veal shanks or for cooking chili on the stovetop or in the oven. (The handles are oven-safe to 350 degrees F and stay cool on the stovetop.) The pot and steamer are dishwasher-safe and come with a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

This is a high-quality enamel pot. Just like they made in the old days but without the extra weight. I have arthritis and I can still manage to easily remove the insert with the 2 sturdy handles. Much easier than using a colander.

This 7 1/3 Qt covered pasta pot and drainer is constructed of low carbon steel with porcelain glass coating. There are no PFOA's or any other chemical to alter food's taste, color or healthfullness. Porcelain enamel is the result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a durable vitreous coating on a carbon steel core. It creates a smooth, hard finish that won\'t burn and resists staining. It\'s also non -porous so it won\'t trap odors or food particles and provides a low coefficient of friction – meaning that it cleans up easily and, it is corrosion and chemically resistant so it will last a long time.When fired, the vessel is placed on pins so the bottom and sides are hardened during the firing process into one smooth laminated glass surface. You may notice slight pin indentations where the glass has flowed around the pin that supports the base during firing. The pin marks do not compromise the finish or performance of the vessel in any way but you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove.

Prime Pacific 4 Piece Pasta Cooker and Steamer Set Review

Prime Pacific 4 Piece Pasta Cooker and Steamer Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is poorly manufactured from inadequate materials. The metal on the ring of the lid is not securely attached to the glass, leaving an uncleanable crease that collects dirty water. The handles on the pot are inadequately attached, fitting loosely. The loose handle cause water to come through the rivet holes. The pot handles are also flimsy and bent when picking up the full pot. The strainer is too tight of a fit into the pot, and does not easily slide past the pot handle rivets. The strainer is such a close fit to the inside of the pot that as the water boils, steam and boiling water shoot out of the top like a geyser. The holes of the strainer are punched out and left with sharp, rough edges. After boiling one pot of pasta in water, the material became discolored and pitted... I suspect that it is not actually stainless steel as the description claims. When originally opening the box, there was a substance everywhere that seemed to be grease with dirt and metallic residue in little bits everywhere. For how many things were wrong with this, I can't believe that a replacement would be any better, so I returned it and am waiting for my refund.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Ok, this is obviously not the same as the traditional All Clad stock pots, if it was it would be more then triple the price of this one without the 2 inserts. It is part of the disk bottom collection, however it is still top quality stainless steel and very well made. I certainly would not consider it secondary. It is a little lighter in weight than the traditional All Clad but it is not a light weight pot by any means. It is great for pasta, soup, stew, steaming veggies, etc. You will love it and you can't beat the price. It is very easy to clean and the inserts can be stacked and stored inside. A+
Tip: If you should get something stuck to the stainless steel use a product called "Bar Keepers Friend" to clean it. Most supermarkets have it and Kitchen Etc. and Bed, Bath and Beyond carry it too. The container (like a Comet can) is gold with blue and white writing. All Clad recommends it for cleaning stainless steel and it works like a dream and is very inexpensive.

My daughter asked for a large sauce pot to make my mother-in-laws spaghetti sauce. I have an old Farberware 8 qt dutch oven/stockpot. I wanted to find something similar. This Oneida Multi Pot is large enough to hold the spaghetti sauce recipe (stainless) so no funky tastes, and functions for pasta and as a steamer. Well made and I get 3 pots for the price of one with the same high quality.
