Cuisinart MCP116-20 MultiClad Pro Stainless Universal Steamer Review

Customer Ratings:

Product works well. It can fit into Cuisinart pots but I also found it fits into my 2 and 3 qt Revereware perfectly. Cover fits nice. Finish is good and easy to clean. It's sturdy and solid. Vegetables come out nice. They steam up fast. It's easy to overcook them so keep times short. Handle is excellent as this product is lightweight (unlike for heavier Cuisinart MultiStainless where the handle is inadequate (and the same goes for All-Clad.))

This product is one of my most treasured cookware purchases. Vegetables have never looked nor tasted better, not to mention the healthy aspect of not losing valuable vitamins in the steaming process. Veggies are steamed quickly to taste. The product appearance is always bright and shiny after every washing in the dishwasher and will last a lifetime I am sure.

The description given for this item isn't specific to this pan, it's just general hoo-hah about how wonderful the construction is in this line of cookware.

It doesn't actually tell you that this is just the insert. You put this on top of a separately obtained 2, 3 or 4 quart Cuisinart saucepan which has the water in it.

I don't consider this a fault of the product or an attempt to fool you into buying something that's incomplete. It's just one of those annoying missing facts. Why did they leave this information out? Many other steamers come with the bottom pot as well as the steamer insert.

Maybe I'm an idiot, and it's obvious to everyone else. But I hope this will help you if you're looking at it and scratching your head.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart MCP116-20 MultiClad Pro Stainless Universal Steamer

I used to use bamboo steamers, but this is a very nice addition to my new Cuisinart set. I love that it fits 3 different sized pans.

I have a number of the MultiClad Pro pans and really like them. I wanted to add the steamer insert, and tried both the MultiClad Pro and Chef's Classic versions. They are slightly different (although not as different as I had hoped -this piece does not feature the same matte stainless exterior finish as the rest of the MultiClad Pro line.) I found that the Chef's Classic version actually fit my MultiClad Pro pans better, so I am returning this one.
