Product Review

11 1/2 quarts in size so it's perfect for all your steaming needs. The handy steamer / drainer insert works well for removing contents without burning oneself. Porcelain enamel is the result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a durable vitreous coating on a carbon steel core. It creates a smooth, hard finish that won’t burn and resists staining. It’s also non -porous so it won’t trap odors or food particles and provides a low coefficient of friction – meaning that it cleans up easily and, it is corrosion and chemically resistant so it will last a long time. When fired, the vessel is placed on pins so the bottom and sides are hardened during the firing process into one smooth laminated glass surface. You may notice slight pin indentations where the glass has flowed around the pin that supports the base during firing. The pin marks do not compromise the finish or performance of the vessel in any way but you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove.

When I received this the packaging it came in was perfect, not a scratch or dent on it, but the pot on the other hand....the pot, the steamer, and the lid were all bent. Bent badly enough in different places that the lid wouldn't lay flat without attempting to bend it back by hand...which didn't work. Its scratched so badly that the coating is flaking off. I'm returning asap. If I get a replacement in good condition then I'll change my review otherwise I stand at 1 star for this poorly made and received product. Shame on you Amazon! (Again I repeat: It was NOT the fault of UPS who delivered it, the box was in perfect shape.)

Update on the product its self: Works fine. Deep enough. Love that the basket just lifts and drains away. I used it to make tamales and it held quite a few of them. Still pretty pissed about the condition it was received in. Bent lid on a steamer means the steam doesn't stay in.

Received first shipment of Graniteware damaged and it had to be returned. Received second replacement Graniteware, and it too was damaged. At least the lid fit snug and non of the 'granite' was chipping and flaking off like the first one. So I settled with it and didnt return it since I had been looking forward to doing some serious steaming. Went shopping at Target a week later and had seen the 'graniteware' in the kitchen pots and pans section, I believe it was less expensive there too...

I love this steamer. Great quality, the last one lasted for 20 years. I love steaming my seafood myself because I know it will be perfect when it is done.
