All-Clad Steamer Insert

While it is designed for All-Clad 5-quart pots, it will fit most standard 5-quart stock pots with similar rim diameters. We recommend measuring the inner diameter of your pot to ensure a secure fit before purchasing.

Yes, the perforated base is designed for gentle, even steam circulation, making it ideal for delicate foods. Because it is stainless steel, it provides a stable surface that won't warp under heat, ensuring your food cooks evenly without sticking.

High-quality stainless steel is durable and resistant to rust, but it can occasionally develop heat tints or mineral deposits from water. These are cosmetic and can be easily removed with a stainless steel cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water.

The handles are made of stainless steel, so they will get hot during the steaming process. You should always use oven mitts or a kitchen towel when lifting the insert out of the pot.

It is completely dishwasher safe, so you can clean it without worry. If you prefer to hand wash, warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge are all you need to keep it in top condition.
