It's got some problems, unfortunately.

POOR FIT

It has to be squished awkwardly into my standard 8" saucepan, with edges/bottom rippling, legs slightly bowed, and the handles pushing the lid off the rim a bit. The result is uneven cooking, and (because steam rapidly escapes) scorching the pan bottom.

ODOR ABSORPTION

Scorched broccoli water smell has permanently absorbed into the material, after extremely minimal usage. It's still stinky after 3 days of airing. Soaking it overnight in vingar, ammonia, and bleach (each, separately! mixing ammonia and bleach can be lethal!) has had no effect. Since silicone doesn't normally absorb odors, it has me wondering whether the factory substituted inferior material.

I didn't expect to like this product, but I use it all the time. It definitely beats using a metal one. It doesn't rust, doesn't get hot, doesn't scratch the bottom, and fits all my medium to smaller pots.

I previously used the metal steamer but had to make sure it was dry before I put it away and when pulling it out of the pot after steaming it was HOT!!!! This silicone steamer fits in a couple different sized pots. And it is not HOT when you put it out of the pot. Washes up quickly. LOVE IT!!!!
