I had been searching all over to find a small steamer basket that would fit in my smallest 1.5 quart pan. I took a chance on this one, and it fits. The closed diameter on this is 5.375 inches.

This steamer works GREAT in small & large saucepots or in fry pans/skillets. Only a small amount of the liquid of your choice is needed to steam all your favorite vegetables, shrimp, clams, etc.
The ring on the post in the middle of the basket is especially helpful for lifting the steamer out of the cooking pot. However, the ring & post are removable for items needing more room, like corn on the cob or whole heads of cauliflower. The steamer folds compactly for easy storage. I use mine frequently and it still looks new after 20 years.

I measured the closed bottom max width as 5 3/8 inches. It stands on three 7/8 inch long legs. These dimensions mean it will fit about any pot with a top rim diameter opening of 5 and 1/2 inches.
The center post and ring have not yet been too hot for me to lift the steamer from a pot. I then fold out the sides so I can slide off the steamed vegetables into whatever dish I'm preparing. This item replaced a Black and Decker steamer. The capacity of which I no longer needed, particularly it's rice cooking ability, having bought a separate unit for that.
This collapsible steamer has made kitchen life easier for this live-alone grandpa.

As described, legs should be taller
Steamer basket is as described, but I do wish that the legs were taller. They are very short and stubby, and leave very little room for water underneath. Read more

good with 1 drawback
I love this steamer for steaming vegetables and chicken. It is great because it forms to the size of the pan and collapses for storage. Read more
