I love this steamer because it fits in All Clad sauce pans from 2 to 4 quarts. The other version with the long handle doesn't fit the 2-quart. I'm usually cooking for one or two, so the smaller capacity suits me.
Works beautifully. Easy to care for (dishwasher safe).

Okay, I admit I have an All-Clad fetish after spending a small fortune on my Copper Core set, and a stainless non-stick skillet. So naturally I had to have this steamer insert as well. It looks just beautiful with the All-Clad pots, pretty enough to serve from at the table with company, and it performs MARVELOUSLY! Not a bit of steam escapes from either the connection at the pan, or from the steamer's lid. The food steams fast and furious and wonderfully--much better than with the old collapsible type steamer I used with my former Calphalon.I also like that the moment the food is done, I can toss directly into the steamer a little butter or oil and some salt, and mix it around with the veggies quickly and easily--which was NOT the case with the collapsible type steamers that had to be removed from the pan before anything could be done to them (usually burning at least one finger or thumb!)
It fits my Copper Core 1.5 quart and 2 quart saucepans the best. It does fit the larger 4 quart saucepan as well, though the connection between the pot and steamer is not perfect--almost, but it does not seat perfectly as with the smaller saucepans, which if fine as they are all you need even even when steaming a large batch of veggies or clams in this steamer.
Ahhh, I've reached steamer nirvana, at last...!
Highly recommend this piece of All-Clad for a splurge--you're worth it!
Best Deals for All-Clad 59915 Stainless Steel All-Purpose Steamer with Lid
This steamer is not of the same quality as the USA manufactured All-Clad cookware. It is lighter in weight and the handles and lid are not as nicely constructed. You are mistaken if you think you are getting the real deal with this item! I am sending it back. The consumer ought to know what he/she is getting!Honest reviews on All-Clad 59915 Stainless Steel All-Purpose Steamer with Lid
I was disappointed with this product because of the quantity of food that it accomodates. Steam holes do not cover the entire bottom of this steamer and food may scorch when not placed directly over the steam holes. Food can only be placed toward the bottom center of the steamer over the steam holes to prevent scorching. I have another stainless steamer that I prefer because steam holes cover the entire bottom of the steamer. However, this steamer is o.k. for steaming a smaller amount of food where all of the food fits over the steam holes in the center bottom of the steamer.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for All-Clad 59915 Stainless Steel All-Purpose Steamer with Lid
I spent a bit of time recently trying to get several inserts for my All-Clads pots, pans and stock pots. The information herein is to help people trying to get the right steamer or boiler insert for their All-Clad pots & pans.Here's what I found:1. I DID NOT BUY the steamer which these reviews are supposed to be covering, namely the All-Clad Stainless All-Purpose Steamer with Lid. I didn't buy it because I wasn't sure it would fit my older All-Clad pans. The All-Clad Stainless All-Purpose Steamer with Lid is also known as All-Clad part # 8700800513 and is made to fit current 2, 3 and 4 quart All-Clad stainless sauce pans and casseroles. It is said to be 8 1/4 inches in diameter and 4 3/4 inches deep.
2. The item I DID BUY is a 3-quart steamer insert, All-Clad part # 8701004547, and it is available for US sixty dollars at many websites. It does not have a lid and does not have loop handles. It has a sauce pan styled handle and you use it with the lid that comes with your sauce pan. See All-Clad 3-qt. Stainless Steamer Insert.It fits 3 & 4-quart sauce pans in All-Clad's "Stainless" collection. These pans have an 8-inch inside diameter. It may not fit similarly sized pans in All-Clad's other collections!!!
3. The steamer insert I DID Buy is complemented by All-Clad's 3-quart (double) boiler insert part # 8701004490. It is not a steamer. It is a (double) boiler insert. See All-Clad Stainless 3-Quart Double-Boiler Insert. It does not have a lid and does not have loop handles. It has a sauce pan styled handle and you use it with the lid that comes with your sauce pan. It fits 3 & 4-quart sauce pans in All-Clad's "Stainless" collection. These pans have an 8-inch inside diameter. It may not fit similarly sized pans in All-Clad's other collections!!!
4. The holes in the bottom of either steamer insert mentioned above do not extend to the outer edge of the bottom of the insert. The holes only cover about 2/3's of the bottom, radiating out from the center. Some people have complained about "scorching" because of this.
5. All these steamer & boiler inserts are thinner than the corresponding saucepans they fit. This is not really a flaw, however, since they don't need to be so thick to function properly only as inserts.
6. All these inserts are made in China. As I understand it, all All-Clad tri-ply cookware currently is made in the U.S. Non-tri-ply items like all these inserts may be made elsewhere to save costs.
7. Another item to consider is All-Clad's small double boiler # 8400000266, described as a "stainless steel 2-quart sauce pan with porcelain double boiler." The insert is smaller than the 3-quart inserts mentioned above, is porcelain (not stainless) and is meant for smaller, finer sauces and such. It is not a steamer. It is a small double boiler. See All-Clad Stainless Steel 2 Qt. Sauce Pan With Porcelain Double Boiler.It is made in the U.S.
8. If you need detailed info on various All-Clad steamer, boiler or colander inserts also check out That site has detailed specs on the various choices that may be more accurate than Amazon's. Prices are the same.
I hope this is not too confusing, and will be helpful to someone.
