This may be a great pot when it's in good shape, but your chances of getting an undented one are close to zero. the first pot I got had a dented lid, and it was clearly damaged in transit. The box they shipped it in was very thin, and they did not double-box it. The replacement (which arrived very quickly - thank you Amazon) WAS double-boxed, and the inner box was not damaged at all (the outer was a mess, though)but when I opened it, I saw a huge dent, so severe that quite a bit of enamel was chipped off both inside and outside of the bottom pot. (see photo)So even though I still want this pot and Amazon's price is good, I'll pay more and buy it locally, where I can at least see what I'm getting. Going back and forth to UPS is a very annoying waste of time. Too bad both Granite Ware and Amazon don't understand that this product is delicate and must be handled carefully.

I have been looking for this pot for quite a bit, was I happy to find it on this web site!
The price was right and the shipping was Super Fast!!!
The crabs never tasted better!!!!

The Graniteware Clam and lobster steamer I ordered was to replace one that's been in my family for about 55 years and I couldn't be more pleased with it. It arrived in perfect condition when they said it would (how often does that happen?) Anyway, we've already used it twice and I'm looking forward to enjoying this one for the next 55 years or so!

I searched for this a long time. I really wanted the two-tier design. The lower tier with the spigot allows draining off the wonderful broth obtained when doing a clam or lobster feast. The pot is well mad,e with a solid porcelain finish. I heat it oover my turkey fryer burner, and that works very well.

I received the steamer pot less than 48 hrs after I ordered it. It was in perfect condition. It was exactly as pictured and exactly what I wanted. The only complaint (if I had one)is that I could not get broth out using the faucet. I had to remove the top part to get the broth. The garlic and parsley I used kept jamming the faucet. I would highly recommend this pot to anyone. I love it. I received a ton of compliments on it also.

this pot is great! it is a classic! if you like lobster or making shellfish, this pot is a must have. i used to borrow my mother's, now i finally have my own. buy it and it should last a lifetime. my parents have had theirs for 30+ years! it was a great deal on amazon as well!

I grew up in Maine, Lobsters were a frequent addition to our meals since it is a local treat. My father has had his clam/lobster steaming pot for many decades, I wanted one just like it that would give me the same look and feel of that childhood experience and do a fantastic job on my own lobsters that I cook for family and friends. I found it! While storage is hardly a small task this pot does the trick for small batches and has multiple uses as a steamer. I did not have any probelms with it coming dented. It was well packaged but appeared sturdy enough to withstand basic bumps. They don't make them like they used too, but that seems the norm in our progressive days, still it is a fine piece and I recommend it so far.

I couldn't be happier...unless it caught the lobsters too....mine arrived in mint condition and we have been using it now for about six months. very happy with this and would definitely suggest to a friend.

It was a gift. The receiver of the steam pot loves it. Had a small dent in the pot, but not enough to do any real damage. And that would be more of a shipping then a manufacturer problem.

I purchased this as a gift for my father in-law. The steamer arrived within a few days of ordering, in perfect condition. It's exactly as it appears online, well constructed. My father in-law used it right away and is very pleased with the steamer.
