Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Sure to be a treasured piece when gathering with friends and family, this steamer set supplies a lower pot that contains water for boiling, a steamer pot for steaming food, and a lid. Measuring 15 by 15 by 13 inches, the extra-large steamer provides a wide base for stability and a generous 19-quart capacity. Use it for cooking up clams, corn on the cob, crabs, crawfish, lobster, and other favorites over a campfire at the beach or at home on a standard electric or gas stove for festive cooking with friends and family any time of year. A built-in faucet on the lower pot allows for easy draining when finished or for collecting delicious, flavorful broth to use in soups.

In addition to its heavy-duty carbon-steel construction for fast, even heating, the pot features a PFOA-free, non-porous, porcelain-enamel coating that resists staining and that won't burn, won't trap odors or food particles, and won't react with foods, which means authentic, unaltered flavors and delicious results. Even more, its exterior surface comes with decorative images of a lobster, clams, and the words "Clam Broth" on the lower pot. The cookware also provides side loop handles on both the base and the upper steamer body, while its secure-fitting lid with a loop handle helps trap heat, moisture, and nutrients. Made in the USA, the cookware cleans up easily by hand with hot soapy water.

Product Description

Granite Ware provides the magic ingredients to make a clambake, lobster boil or shore dinner a festive and memorable occasion. This large capacity is designed to accommodate big gatherings and produce outstanding results. This Granite Ware 3 pc 19 quart decorated clam and lobster steamer is porcelain on low carbon. This results in a pot that heats rapidly and is easy to clean. There are no PFOA's or other chemicals to alter food's taste, color or healthfulness. The convenient faucet easily drains liquids. Includes base. 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.

The box arrived in beat up condition, but it was double boxed and the steamer was not damaged at all. It worked perfectly for a clam & lobster back yard party for 15 people.

What a nice big steamer--steamed the clams excellent and holds the juice below so if you'd like to make chowder, you have natural ingredients. I would highly recommend this product.

I took a chance ordering eventhough some of the reviews were not the best. I absolutely love the Lobster/Clam Steamer Pot. It is very functional and looks pretty on display when not in use. Nice big size, good quality and the spout is great for the broth. I have to admit that I was lucky that mine came undamaged because I have to agree that the packaging is not sufficient to protect the pot from damage in shipping if the package gets "man-handled" at all. It appears to be shipped in its original box with no additional packing material just a fragile warning label. None-the-less, mine is perfect and I am glad I took the chance and ordered it. Hopefully the seller will listen to the feedback and start using a sturdy shipping box. Also comes with recipes which I am looking forward to trying.
