Le Creuset Tri-Ply Stainless Steel 7-Inch Steamer Insert with Glass Lid

 (2 customer reviews)

I really like this Le Creuset steamer insert in that it has a glass top where the rest of the Le Creuset stainlessware comes with steel covers. The package also contains steaming instructions for fish, veggies and the like--perfect for this sophomoric cook. Until the Christmas presents are unwrapped, I am using this steamer with a non-Le Creset saucepan and it is performing beautifully, holding true to its promise to fit 3.1-Quart & 4-1/4-Quart saucepans. A great deal for a quality product that costs significantly less than its AllClad counterpart!

Very pleased with this insert. I also own the stainless steel pots set and did't want to scratch the bottom of my pots with a traditional steamer insert. This thing is great! It fits in all 4 of my pots, all different sizes! The only thing I have noticed is that if something has been steaming for a while, the lip around the top starts to drip water, but what do you expect after steaming something for 40 minutes? There is a hole in the lid that works perfect for light steaming, but when there is alot of steam in the pot, it just can't keep up. Not an issue for me, it's still 5 stars in my eyes. In all, I'm very pleased with it and would recommend it.
