This worked great for my first shrimp boil this past summer. The basket fit great in my pot and I had no problem doing 10lbs of shrimp.

This insert fits my pot perfectly (Bayou Classic 4034, 34-Qt. Stockpot with Steam/Boil Basket and Vented Lid). Just have to make sure that the dimension would be smaller than the pot that it would be used in. It is light but seems to be solid and well made. Ready for those crawfish

The basket works great and seems to hold up well. My only issue is that the handle on it needs a little work. The metal bent easily and actually came off during a couple of batches and dropped the basket to the ground. We took some pliers and bent the sides (where it attaches to the basket) to a sharper angle and reattached it to the basket. It's been working fine since, but doesn't fold back on the basket cleanly. Be careful when you first use it. If possible, bend the handle ends more inward so you won't have the same problem. Boiling water over your feet and legs is not a good thing.

Honest reviews on Winware Professional Aluminum Steamer Baskets

Although the description for the aluminum basket clearly states that it is compatible with the 60-qts stainless steel pot, the basket's handle prevents the pot's lid to be tightly fit with the pot. The lip of the lid is about 15mm off the brim of the pot when the steamer basket is in the pot. Steam would surely be lost when the lid cannot tightly cover the pot and when the steaming basket is not fully enclosed inside the pot. This is unfortunate because the basket itself seems well constructed. To remedy this, the baskets handle needs to have a smaller radius to allow it to fit inside the basket when in a tuck-away position. As a tinkerer, I'd like to reshape the handle but I'm not sure I can unbend and re-bind/reshape the solid aluminum handle without damaging or breaking it.

When an order came in for 8 dozen whole ears of corn all served at once, I began to wonder just how was I going to pull this off? Went on Amazon, searched for Winware...then "VOILA" I found these over-sized 60 Quart pots! Simply put, these highly reputable pots are made real well, look fantastic and can completely steam / boil up to 100 ears of corn with room to spare extremely well! The slotted Aluminum Steamer Basket is a 'Must-Have' when considering purchasing the Stainless Steel Stock Pot!
