This steamer works great in the 3 qt. cassarole pan of the 10-piece set, but I'm afraid to use it in the 3 qt. sauté pan - that would allow only about 1" of water or less in the pan. The steamer is very deep, which is nice, but I'd rather seen it not so deep so I could have a bit more water in the bottom. I've never boiled a pan dry using a steamer, but I've come close. What's nice is that once you get the water boiling (of course leaving the lid on so it does so quickly), you can turn down the heat quite low, almost down to a simmer, and still get a good amount of steam.

Emerilware is a great stepping-stone in cookware between the common store bought stuff and the extravagantly priced All-Clad type cookware. It is perfect for me. As a matter of fact I Like the slightly lighter weight of the Emeril line as apposed to the All-Clad. The only thing that I don't like is that I noticed the newer pieces from the last six months or so is made overseas. I don't recall that they were before. This steamer fits the 3-quart lidded casserole pan and 3-quart saucepan perfectly. It also fits the 2-quart saucepan but as another reviewer mention it does not leave much water in the bottom of the pan. I do wish that the emerilware line would come up with a double boiler with the same configuration as the steamer.

Item arrived promptly in excellent condition. Unfortunately, it did not fit my cookware as anticipated (my fault - it was for a different product) and I returned it. Received my money back promptly as well. Overall, good experience with this vendor.

I own a whole set of emerilware. I bought it because it is made by all clad, but at a fraction of the price. Don't fool yourself. All Clad is significantly higher quality, but these pots work great. The steamer insert is really good for vegetables, but the holes are a little large. That means you can't use it as a strainer for spaghetti, but that isn't really the purpose of the steamer insert.

I love this steamer! Lots of room, easy to clean. A great buy.

After buying an induction cooktop, we needed new cookware of magnetic stainless, so bought a set of Emeril's and gave away our old pots. Since we steam a great deal, I bought this to go along with the 3 quart saucepan. Unfortunately, it is as shown, deep but with a smaller flat bottom. This is great for steaming most vegetables, but not so good for asparagus or tamales. For them, we had to keep our older steamer insert for the extra room it affords at the bottom.

Agree that you really need to use this steamer with the 3 qt saucepan, not the 2 qt in order to be sure you don't boil the pan dry. I love All Clad but am not willing to pay the price. I find Emerilware to be a fantastic alternative. I haven't been able to find this steamer in a store so I'm thrilled to find that Amazon has it. Great for veggies.

This product is listed with the Emerilware Stainless wok. It is not a steamer assessory for the wok. Rip off advertising by amazon. Emerilware Stainless 12-Inch Wok

Like the product, but amazon screwed me out of the 30 dollar bonus for signing of for their card, they have sent me through more hoops than dumbo to try and get my money.
