Paula Deen 3 Quart Stack & Steamer, Stainless Steel

We recently ordered this steamer and were pleasantly surprised at how well constructed it was and how well it works. Both the pot and steamer insert are heavier weight than comparable steamers, and appear to be as durable as they are attractive. The copper bottom heats up quickly and evenly, and the knob on the lid does not get too hot to handle. It can steam enough vegetables for 3-4 people. Make sure you read the label and soak the copper bottom 20 min. in baking soda solution before use to remove its protective coating.

This pot is very good quality, easy to wash, easy to handle, and doesn't take up much space in the cabinet. It is the perfect size for steaming everything from sweet potatoes to broccoli for 1 to 4 people. I had a really hard time finding a steamer pot with insert that was smaller than 8 quarts in kitchen stores and big box stores, so this was 100% worth it.

I just wanted to share that this is a wonderful thing. It's well designed, easy to use and clean, and the quality exceeds the price. This is a perfect steamer for a single person or a smaller family.
