Product Description:
Sure to be a treasured piece when gathering with friends and family, this steamer set supplies a lower pot that contains water for boiling, a steamer pot for steaming food, and a lid. Measuring 15 by 15 by 13 inches, the extra-large steamer provides a wide base for stability and a generous 19-quart capacity. Use it for cooking up clams, corn on the cob, crabs, crawfish, lobster, and other favorites over a campfire at the beach or at home on a standard electric or gas stove for festive cooking with friends and family any time of year. A built-in faucet on the lower pot allows for easy draining when finished or for collecting delicious, flavorful broth to use in soups.
In addition to its heavy-duty carbon-steel construction for fast, even heating, the pot features a PFOA-free, non-porous, porcelain-enamel coating that resists staining and that won't burn, won't trap odors or food particles, and won't react with foods, which means authentic, unaltered flavors and delicious results. Even more, its exterior surface comes with decorative images of a lobster, clams, and the words "Clam Broth" on the lower pot. The cookware also provides side loop handles on both the base and the upper steamer body, while its secure-fitting lid with a loop handle helps trap heat, moisture, and nutrients. Made in the USA, the cookware cleans up easily by hand with hot soapy water.

Granite Ware 3-Piece 33-Quart Crab and Crawfish Cooker with Steamer and Drainer Insert Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a pretty big pot!I'd say you could steam about 3 1/2 dozen or a little more medium sized Maryland crabs.We steamed 3 dozen (but the crabs were a little small) and there was room left for a few more.The insert pot has holes at the bottom and sides which helps them steam faster than when the hole are just at the bottom.

Product Description:
This Granite Ware 3 pc 33 quart crab and crawfish cooker stock pot is constructed of porcelain on carbon steel. The convenient steamer/drainer insert is perfect for lifting out seafood when cooked. The result is a pot that heats rapidly, is easy to clean and has an inert glass surface so there are no PFOA's or other chemicals to alter food's taste, color or healthfulness. Porcelain enamel is the result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a durable vitreous coating on a carbon steel core. It creates a smooth, hard finish that won't burn and resists staining. It's also non -porous so it won't trap odors or food particles and provides a low coefficient of friction - meaning that it cleans up easily and, it is corrosion and chemically resistant so it will last a long time.When fired, the vessel is placed on pins so the bottom and sides are hardened during the firing process into one smooth laminated glass surface. You may notice slight pin indentations where the glass has flowed around the pin that supports the base during firing. The pin marks do not compromise the finish or performance of the vessel in any way but you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove.The large capacity 33 quart pot is designed to accommodate big gatherings and produce outstanding results.

Product Description:
Turn to this set of two small steamers for delicious, flavorful cooking at home. Steaming not only preserves vitamins and minerals in foods when cooking, but it also allows for cooking with little or no added oils or fats for healthier results. Measuring 4 inches in diameter by about 3-1/2 inches tall, the steamers work well for cooking or reheating dim sum and can accommodate a variety of different vegetables, seafood, meats, and fruits.
To use, simply add food to the steamer, cover, and set the steamer in a wok or other pot containing boiling water. Steam enters through open slats in the bottom of the steamer and remains trapped inside thanks to its secure-fitting lid. The bamboo steamer effectively absorbs condensation, so water won't drip back down onto food--no need for soggy, mushy vegetables. For Asian-style steaming of dry foods such as breads and dim sum, line the bottom of the steamer with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Once heated and with the lid in place, the steamer can also be used as a convenient container for keeping food warm for up to a half an hour, plus its beautiful design makes it a nice choice for use as a serving piece at the table.
Handmade from 100-percent naturally sustainable bamboo, the durable steamers come securely assembled with bamboo pegs and bamboo lacing, and their tight construction effectively traps steam for fast, efficient cooking. Before using for the first time, rinse the bamboo steamers and lids with cold water. After each use, wash the pieces with hot water and a brush, if necessary. Use water only to clean--do not use soaps or detergents, and allow the steamer to thoroughly air dry before storing. The bamboo steamer offers a great way to cook and serve Asian-inspired foods with authentic flair. Recipes and instructions come included.

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless Steel 4-Piece 12-Quart Pasta/Steamer Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to replace an older smaller pasta cooker.I have about 20 pieces of the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro cookware but couldn't justify spending over $100 for a large stockpot.The only notable difference is that the Multiclad has the sandwiched aluminum all the way up the sides of the pot.Not really necessary I thought for something I would use mostly for boiling water.Besides, the heat source is only really from below and that extra multiclad surface only adds to the weight.

I love the shiney exterior and the large capacity compared to my previous pasta pot. The steamer insert is a nice little extra but I'm not sure I'd want to haul out this enormous pot just to steam a few veggies.The lid is more domed than Cuisinart's standard lids and has a more sculpted handle.Cleanup is easy but only if you have a very large sink.The handles on both the pot and insert are solid and appear to be very securely attached.

So what's not to like?

This pot was a lot bigger than I anticipated.So large in fact that it doesn't fit in my normal cookware drawer.I ended up having to divide the pot from the insert just so it would fit in the cabinets.And that domed lid just adds to the height.The insert didn't need to stick out of the pot as far as it does and the handles on the insert come out further than those on the pot itself.Where the pot will barely fit, the insert won't just because of the handles.The other problem with the height of this pot comes when you try to use it on your stove.I nearly have to stick my head under the fan hood to see inside it!

The inside of both the pasta insert and the steamer basket won't drain completely.There are no drain holes along the bottom outer edges so the water continues to drip after removing it from the pot whenever it's tilted.I'm also not sure why they made the outsides of the insert and steam basket so shiny but made the insides brushed.This is almost the opposite of their fry pans.A shiny smooth inside would have made cleanup easier without the use of Teflon.

It would have received 5 stars except for these minor issues.
