Don't mess with tradition...this is the same crab pot I grew up with! Simple, and practical...we use it outside on the side burner of the grill to get a good rolling boil for steam that you don't get with the new electric stove tops. The PERFECT steamer for blue crabs in the Chesapeake Bay tradition! Hint: add 2 cups of water, 2 cups of vinegar & 2 beers to the base, and bring to a boil...load live crabs in top, layering with "Old Bay" and steam til they turn red (10 min?). ENJOY them while they are HOT!

For those of us who love steamed crabs, this is the pot to have. While you can get a pot like this in Maryland at any Wal-mart, since I moved to Florida, on-line is the only way to get one. This one was the right size for the right price.

This steamer works extremely well on magnetic induction cooktops. I have used it to steam oysters and clams. The oyster roast was enjoyed by the whole family. I did not layer the oysters. Only did one layer at a time but the steaming liquid lasted through 5-6 batches, making it a really good size pot.

Inside the rim of the lid was missing the black top coat . It looks chipped. I was very disappointed.

I bought this kettle for steaming crabs and it's everything I wanted. Used the kettle many times since I purchased it and it has performed well.

I bought the clam steamer to replace one that I had for years.

I got the product a few days after placing the order. I used it twice in one weekend. I steamed crab in it and I also used it to steam lobster. Worked great both times and it was very easy to clean up. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a steamer.

I ordered this steamer for my husband and he ABSOLUTELY loves it! In fact, we had a huge clam bake over the weekend and we had all sorts of goodies in there. Clams, crab legs, shrimp, corn, potatoes, and blue crab clusters.....enough to feed 8 people!!!! I suggest using an outside burner if you don't want your entire house to smell like fishy Old Bay seasoning, though. Great product for the price.

These Granite Ware steamer pots are an absolute must have. I've used them for more than 30 years and have always loved how long they last and how beautifully they steam lobsters, clams, oysters- you name it.

They're also wonderful for steaming veggies, chicken, fish and virtually whatever you like. The bottom pot is also perfect for anything from pasta to chili.

If you're concerned about the size not being large enough, it's perfect. I've fit four 5 pound lobsters, 2 pounds of cherry stone clams and potatoes without a problem. Plus unlike the monster 33 quart this fits well on the stove be it electric or gas.

Keep in mind the larger sizes are not recommended for glass top cooking ranges. However this size is fine.

I noticed my 19 quart which has to be at least a decade old had rusted on the bottom and I needed to replace it, some specialty sites were almost twice the list price as these pots aren't the easiest to find, hence the jacked up pricing.

Delighted to find my exact steamer pot by Granite Ware here on Amazon at such a bargain I didn't hesitate to buy it.

The pot arrived in two days ( gotta love the Amazon Prime benefits ) especially if like me, you shop on Amazon often.

The steamer arrived wonderfully packaged, in it's original factory box inside an Amazon box.

Again, this is a wonderful addition to any kitchen. Well made, versatile and despite it's size it's very easy store even if you have limited space.

Terrific Value!

We live in Florida and my wife loves crab! I bought this for her as a gift so she could steam crab legs at home. She loves it! I must say that it can be a bit of pain to clean, but that's only because of it's size. You can easily fit crab legs or an entire lobster in this pot.

Would buy again!

Bought this after rigging regular pot to steam snow crab. Worked perfectly with better results than the local restaurant! Fully recommend!
