Very nice steamer - I use it a lot for vegetables like asparagus. One thing I was worried about was whether it would fit in my pots properly, but the graduated ridges work fine with two of my pots. The fact that this one comes with a glass top make it worth the extra money. The only negative is that the handles can get hot, so be careful.

Great product. I use this all year for steamed veggies, holds 6 ears of corn, or for steamed clams. Fits almost any of my pans, but I usually use it with the 2 or 3 qt saucepot.
