Wish I'd purchased this sooner!
April 4, 2013
I have a set of d5 Stainless-Steel, but it did not include this steamer. After struggling with my collapsible steamer insert for so long, I finally took the purchase plunge. Wish I hadn't waited so long—I use this pan almost every night! It is a great size and works perfectly on my induction stove top. The lid fits well and the insert is eavenly ventilated. I considered another WS steamer, but decided to pay the difference for the d5. I couldn't be happier!

Poor quality
June 8, 2012
The D5 base is just fine, but the steamer insert (made in China) doesn't fit properly and is very unsatisfactory. Turns out All-Clad is having quite a few of the accessory products made in China and they are not up to the standards we expect from All-Clad.
Cons: Quality, fit

versatile purchase
April 20, 2012
This set got just 4 stars maybe should have been three just for the misreprsentation of the origin(place of manufacture)"handcrafted in the USA". The "Casserole Pan" is trulyl All-Clad. Fantastic to use, easier to store than a 3 qt sauce pan,no problem cleaning with BarKeep soak rather than paste and circle out from center. Disappointing to find the steamer insert made in good old China.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Easy to Store, Size, Versatile, Design

WS POSITIVE RESPONSE!!
On 10/23/2012 Scales87 said Exactly as Stated
The on-line description of this product clearly states that the insert is made in China. There was no misrepresentation on the part of All-Clad.
At the time of the purchase and review there was misinformation.
The site reflects the true origin of the insert due to WS responding to customers who requested the the true origin of the steamer be posted online. Not so when I and others made their purchase and reviewed the product. Thank you WS.

Very poor fit
February 22, 2012
I purchased this set recently and the steamer really does fit the pot poorly. The fit of the lid isn't ideal but at least it doesn't wobble like the steamer in the pot.
It does leak steam but since there is one sweet spot that leaks less, the steamer is usable.
There really is no excuse for All-clad releasing specimens like this into the wild. There were no other sets in the two stores near me. I hope they get more in stock soon so I can exchange this one.
Pros: Easy to Use, Easy to Clean, Versatile
Cons: Quality, fit issue

My favorite all-clad piece!
January 31, 2012
My husband and I received all of the all-clad stainless steel cookware pieces for our wedding about 5 years ago. By far I use this piece more than any of the others. I use it EVERY day, 3 times a day to steam my 8 month olds baby foods. I also use it to steam her vegetables, fruits, etc before I mash them. While it doesn't look nearly as pretty and shiny as it used too, it still works amazingly!
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Easy to Clean

Great Pan Wobbly Steamer
December 23, 2011
I had to buy and return 3 or 4 of these before I ended up with a keeper and then the steamer insert is just barely ok. Each set had a different steamer insert design and the lid only fit properly on the last one I bought. The pan is 5 stars but the steamer insert is 1 star at best. The steamer insert is way below the normally high standards of All Clad and they should be ashamed of it. The set is described as "Made in USA" by WS, but the steamer insert is "Made in China" according to the box it is packaged in. The difference in quality between the pan and the steamer is staggering. Fortunately, I don't do a lot of steaming so it'll meet my needs. The pan however, is perfect as a 3 qt. saucepan.
Pros: Durable, Size
Cons: Quality

another great All-Clad piece
December 8, 2011
I have a ton of All-Clad, and when my steamer arrived today I was thrilled. It's a great size - the 3 qt pan with lid will come in very handy....and the steamer fits well (as does the lid upon it). All-Clad is my favorite cookware, and this piece didn't disappoint!
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Size, Versatile

Steamer Pan
August 7, 2011
This is my favorite pan. You can cook potatoes in the bottom while steaming vegetables in the upper section pan at the same time. This is a beautiful pan and a real time saver. Makes a wonderful gift.

perfectly versatile set
February 22, 2011
I purchased this with some misgivings about the price, since my previous steamer set was considerably less expensive (although it also eventually rusted out, after about 15 years). At any rate, I love this one. The parts fit together just fine, and I have not had any problems with leaking steam or otherwise. The steamer basket is large and deep, but the whole set does not take up a lot of space in the cabinet or on the stove. The bottom part works well as a saucepan. The steel is a nice weight, and the bottom has good heat transfer--no burning on those occasions when I use it directly. I can't recommend it more--it has become one of the most used pieces in my kitchen.

steam queen
January 22, 2011
I use a steamer daily for vegetables -steaming is quicker, easier and fresh steamed veggies taste better than canned or frozen! Have been looking for a dedicated steamer pot since with the hard hard hard water in my area, pots quickly get scaly and difficult to get back to that "new" look (am going to try "bartender's friend" to see if that helps). I read the reviews stating the steamer insert didn't fit well and debated, but don't find the fit that bad. The lid definitely fits cleaner to the bottom pot alone, but the insert and lid have a reasonable fit for steaming. The size is perfect - can fit potatoes, full length asparagus and green veggies all at one time and you can add enough water to the bottom pot to ensure it doesn't burn off - can't do that with those little foldable steamer inserts. And having the double handles makes it easy to use. Yet, it's not so huge it takes over your stove or cabinet. So far, LOVE it!

good cook and serve pot
January 11, 2011
I purchased this 3Qt. to replace a pot I have that has a broken handle. I love it because it's solid from the bottom and up the sides. The steamer is an added benefit because it's easier to handle. I love the fact that it has the two grips to make it convenient to serve at the table. I also bought one for my 21 yr.old son ,who likes to cook. I also love the way these pots clean up ,they look new even 10 yrs. later. CATHY

perfect for 2
January 7, 2011
Ever since I got this pot (3wks ago) I've used it daily. Clean up is a breeze, and its the right size for my week night cooking. What I like about the steamer is that its big enough to fit a whole head of cauliflour, the size works for all of the veggies I cook. Quality: I'm not too much of an experienced cook and even I can tell the HUGE difference between my new All clad set and my old set I replaced.

Great Multiple Use Pot
December 18, 2010
I bought this for my daughter for Christmas--she cooks a lot of vegan/vegetable dishes and it is a perfect mid-size pot. Without the insert it also functions well as a saucepan. I was a bit concerned about the other reviews that mentioned a bad fit between lid, insert, and pot but I decided to take the chance. This one was perfect so I assume a few bad ones slipped through the manufacturer's quality system. It does happen unfortunately. Moral of the story: If it isn't right return it and try again. I own many pieces of All-Clad cookware and have been very pleased with them.

absolutely love this steamer
November 25, 2010
My husband and I were hesitant about spending this much on a steamer, but it was well worth it. After reading some of the negative reviews about the fit of the pans, we were a little worried, but when we opened the box and checked it out, it was perfect. The pans should not be airtight, because the pressure from the steam would build up too much, so a little is supposed to escape. Both the steamer and pot are of very high quality.

A Great Steamer
October 29, 2010
I just purchased this steamer and used it with great success. Some people mentioned having problems with the insert not pitting properly. I purchased this on the website and when it arrived all of the pieces fit together perfectly. This another product that lives up to the very high All Clad standards. I can't wait to use it more.

Nice pan, but search for a good fit
July 10, 2010
After reading the reviews here, I wanted to get the All-Clad 3qt Steamer set to replace a very old steamer set I've had for years. I told the sale's person my concern about the 'fitting' issue which some people experienced. The floor sample fit perfectly. After they brought a new one out in a box, I opened it up to try the 'fit'. It was terrible. The sale's person said they could not believe it fit together so poorly. So we got another new one and tried it. Same issue. Long story short, I bought the floor sample as it fit perfectly. So word to the wise, take it out of the box and try a few for 'fit' before you spend close to $200 bucks for this All-Clad piece.

More Steamed Veggies, Here I Come!
May 29, 2010
Upon reading several of the reviews, I deliberated this purchase for some time before I decided to buy it. I am THRILLED with this steamer! The lid, steamer basket and pot all fit together well. It has a good weight to it and handles well. My former steamer by Belgique was awkward and cumbersome. I'd also tried the OXO Steamer Basket which worked well for small amounts of food, but not for the larger amounts I often cook. It is also great for reheating foods instead of microwaving. I think you will be pleased with this purchase.

Excellent Product
May 13, 2010
I am truly impressed by the craftmanship and performance of this steamer. It is perfect for both veggies and seafood. I have not experienced any issues with the three pieces fitting snug: they fit perfectly.
The pot tends to leave a residue after use, but it can easily be removed with a powder-based cleaner (such as Bar Keepers Friend).
