I bought this asparagus steamer a couple of years ago and was able to use it only a few times because the basket and the bottom of the steamer rusted right away. I have several stainless steel pots and none of them rusted...they are not supposed to. I was definitely not happy with the product!

Although the Steamer was advertised as Stainless Steel. I found out after the second use that the basket, that holds the food is not. It showed rust at several of the soldered points. This was very disapointing. So now, I just have an extra pot.

I thought for a long time an asparagus steamer was very indulgent, but finally purchased this, and am glad I did. It really does make a difference.
Haven't had any of the rusting mentioned by other reviewers, maybe just needs to be dried right away?

I didn't want an asparagus steamer, but I thought this would suit my purpose: to fit a Coleman 440 stove. I didn't want heavy stainless, with a weighted bottom, and the low price for this item suggested it would be thin and tinny: just the thing.
It was too tall, but otherwise perfect. I cut off 2.5 inches (wear goggles next time) and smoothed down the edges. Wooden knobs to replace the cut off part.
The basket? I can use that for cleaning parts.
