Title : All-Clad Stainless Steamer InsertDescription : All-Clad Stainless Steel Universal Steamer Insert For steaming and reheating, this universal steamer insert fits into All-Clad's 8" diameter saucepans. Featuring a tri-ply design for highly responsive conduction and even heating, this steamer has an aluminum core bonded on both sides to 18/10 stainless steel. It also has a long, stay-cool stainless steel handle for controlled lifting. Dishwasher safe. Features: 18/10 stainless steel interior/exterior Aluminum core Magnetic stainless steel exterior base Fits into All-Clad's 8" diameter saucepans Stay-cool stainless steel handle Dishwasher safe Model: 5703-STSuitable for use with any 8-inch diameter pot or pan, this beautiful, heavy, durable steamer insert holds about 3 quarts of vegetables for steaming over simmering water. Specifically, it fits into the 3- and 4-quart saucepans and 3- and 4-quart casseroles in all of All-Clad's cookware collections. The exterior is mirror-finished and the interior is highly polished so it's naturally stick-resistant. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel handle is riveted to the pan for strength, grooved on the top and rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on hook or peg. The long handle stays cool on the stovetop. Although Stainless cookware is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

1st Customer Review : A Big Disappointment
This insert has been hanging in my kitchen for some years now, and I was recently given another. The new one is made in China despite the exorbitant All-Clad price, though it doesn't seem to make much difference. Both are equally unsatisfactory, except perhaps for draining vegetables, and there are more convenient ways to do that.
First, the steamer fits only one of my many pots --an LTD saucepan. And it doesn't fit it well. The little bead that rests on the pot rim is too shallow to make a good seal even with the pot the insert is made for, and hopeless with any other. Steam whooshes out over the pot rim without going through the veg, and the bad seal cools the steam and sogs the vegetables. The pot lid doesn't fit the insert very well, either, and drips cooling condensate into the vegetables --more sog.
The steaming surface is inches above the water (unless you boil an awful lot of water, when it bubbles up into the veg and sogs them). The steam doesn't circulate well and...

2nd Customer Review : Great product.
I bought this insert to use with my all clad LTD 9 piece set that I bought a few months ago. I use the steamer with the 3qt sauce pan a LOT. It cleans up very easily, looks beautiful, and fits nicely into my sauce pan. Some people are complaining about steam escaping from the pan. Don't let this deter you from buying this steamer. Steam is SUPPOSED to escape. If no steam escaped, you'd basically have a pressure cooker!
3rd Customer Review : A well designed steamer insert
Having used a double boiler type steamer insert for a number of years, I was pleasantly suprised to find that All-Clad made a steamer insert with a stay cool handle when I switched over to their line of cookware a while back. Having burned my hands a number of times with the old steamer, the stay cool handle alone makes this item a worthwhile addition to your collection. It does a great job of steaming vegetables. I have not tried it with clams or fish yet, but I'm sure it would perform well. Contrary to what another reviewer wrote, I have found that not that much steam escapes from the sides of the pot when in use. I believe this steamer to be far superior to the collapsable-type steamer insterts. Well worth the money, in my opinion.
