Cuisinart 77-35CG Chef's Classic Stainless 3-Quart Steamer, 3-Piece Set

If you find yourself questioning the value of this steamer...you are right. It's useful enough for steaming a few servings, but the Chef's Classic line is not the most solidly constructed. It might be my fault for not looking closer, but I was disappointed to receive a glass cover, which adds little functionality, but huge risk of breakage. The pot also loses a good deal of steam and the steamer and lid handles are too small and they get too hot. The insert is what they throw in with the cookware sets, and is really not worth buying on its own merits. I like Cuisinart in general, but really wish I had separately bought a 4qt pot, ideally multi-clad, and the steamer insert with the metal cover and long, cool handle. Or if you'd rather pay less than more, there are a few other steamer sets on Amazon that would probably be just as good as this mediocre steamer.

I think everyone should have this steamer in their kitchen. It doubles as a great pasta pan! Worth every penny!
