Best Granite Ware 6209-4 4-Quart Stockpot with Steamer Insert Deals

Customer Ratings:

I bought this steamer to replace a similar one I'd had for probably 15 years. I LOVED my old steamer. Unfortunately, the outer pan in my old steamer developed a tiny leak. This steamer looked like the same one so, despite Mike's bad review, I decided to buy it. Fortunately for me, the outer pan is fine, not unlike the one I'm replacing. My old steamer insert fits so I decided to keep it. The problem is the so-called "steamer insert." My old steamer had a colander-like granite ware pan that fit down inside the steamer, about an inch from the bottom and riding snugly on the top of the pan. The "steamer insert" that came with this pan is not as wide as the pan, so if you put it in the pan, it just sits on the bottom of the pan. It's also only a couple inches high. I'm not sure how you could use it. Even if it were wider, you could only put about a cup of veggies in it. And if you put it on the bottom of the pan, you might as well just boil your vegetables. I can't figure out what they were thinking. Anyway, unless you're in a situation like mine, where you already have the insert, I wouldn't buy this product.

No chemical coating? whatever they are using it melted on to my burners while simmering a stew. damn thing ruined my dinner, and filled the house with smoke. No i did not burn the food, the pot melted, on low no less. This is crap.

I am back to order my 3rd pot(one for my mom). The trick is to fill the water to just the top of the insert which should be thumb hole up. place as much/ as little veggies as possible. Let steam and check to add water every 10 min. I used one once for soup and it burnt. I don't think this is good for cooking in but it works great as a steamer. I like that it is light weight and with the lid upside down it stores easily. It also cleans easily. i give it 4 stars but would give 5 if it handled regular cooking better. Really more for steaming... it is thin material. It doesn't really even look like it could handle heavy heat.

Honest reviews on Granite Ware 6209-4 4-Quart Stockpot with Steamer Insert

This is the perfect set for a SunOven. The set works well to cook chicken, meats and beans. I use the insert, placed upside down in the pot, to keep the small whole chicken from drowning in drippings. In a few hours, the pot yields well done meats, chicken and beans when used in conjunction with the SunOven. Global Sun Oven Solar Cooker

Pictures never give a good perspective. I wish this were a little larger. It works great. I have a sun oven and use this for cooking and it works as I expected.
