I recently purchased a Calphalon steamer pan and I love it. It is narrower on the bottom than on the top, which allows me to use it on a smaller burner. The quantity the steamer basket holds (as well as the pan itself), is much greater than I anticipated. I would highly recommend this pan.

We have purchased several Calphalon products and have been very please with the superior quality of all, this one is no different.

I recently purchased 5 pieces of Calphalon Contemporary non-stick cookware (individual pieces, not a set) and it's all great. This 4 1/2 qt. steamer/saucepan is great as well. I bought it from Amazon.com because they had the best price and free shipping. It's a bit on the heavy side, but is perfect for cooking pasta as it is deep and wide, creating good circulation of the water. It's also really good for soups. I like all the cookware I have purchased in this line. It heats very evenly and cleans up easily.

I love the steamer insert - use it a lot for veggies. Excellent quality, good price.

Pots with steamer inserts are not that common anymore. I like that this pot has a wider, shallower configuration than my previous steamer so the veggies cook more evenly. The glass lid means I don't have to keep taking the lid off, losing all the steam, to see when the food is done.
