Tramontina Gourmet 5-Quart Steamer Set, Tri-Ply Base Stainless Steel Dutch Oven with Steamer Insert and Glass Lid, Induction-Ready

I have three Tramontina open stock pieces and have been very satisfied with all of them. The \3-qt. pot is excellent and a great size for reheating a two-bowl serving of chili. The other two are budget nonstick 2-qt. saucepans that are surprisingly good for the price point. I was fed up with the poor quality of the folding steamer baskets and found this three-piece set. The Dutch oven is heavy and heats very evenly. The steamer sits on top, with plenty of holes in the bottom for the steam to reach the food. Top it off with e heavy glass lid and you have a well-built steamer set. All three pieces have riveted handles. Because this is a steamer, you really need to handle the pieces with oven mitts or potholders. This would make a great gift for you, a friend, and even a wedding gift. As far as cleaning, if your water causes staining with stainless steel, try “Bar Keepers Friend”, and it should make it look just like new.Highly recommended by this Tramontina Fanboi!(EDIT: Thanks to a remedial how-to-count-your-cookware class, I omitted a 3-qt. non-stick saucepan w/lid. that makes four sets plus this one. 🤕

What a great steamer! It checks all the boxes of feeling heavy and high quality, plus having a glass lid so you can monitor doneness without releasing the steam. Not too big or too small: Great size for a couple or small group (maybe six servings of veggies, etc should fit easily).

The quality of this steamer is excellent. I've been using mine for about a month and it is everything I hoped for. The capacity of the steaming chamber is large, especially for height. My system is to use 8 inch shallow plate-like bowls bought at our local Asian grocery store, and steamer tongs. The bowls can also be characterized as plates with lips that make them shallow bowls. 9 inch diameter plates are too large to fit and to easily be removed.A couple of usage tips:1) I will often reheat rice and steam vegetables at the same time. Put the rice into a rice bowl and place the plate of vegetables onto the rice bowl. The chamber is deep enough.2) I get best results when steaming using medium heat, just hot enough for a slow steady boil3) If dumplings are your priority, I think bamboo steamers will be a better choice because these steel steamers with glass or metal lids allow water to condense on the lid, then drip down onto what you are steaming. This is no problem for a lot of things like steamed vegetables or Canton/Hong Kong style dishes like steamed pork, but it will be a real nuisance with dumplings. I have read that some people use steamers like this one for dumplings, but they tie a kitchen towel around the lid to keep the water from dripping down. I have not tried that technique.

This is a very high quality product. This steamer pan works amazingly well with our induction cooktop

This is great for steaming vegetables, as well as for reheating anything that I've cooked earlier. The reason I didn't give it five stars is that all of the metal edges on each component are very sharp - such that I'm concerned I'll cut myself, if I don't handle each piece carefully. The manufacturer would be wise to bevel the metal edges to dull their sharpness.

Love my new steamer. It’s a nice quality with a sturdy weight. Suitable to steam veggies for two or more thanks to the it’s substantial size. I also love that I can use it for making sauce and meatballs when it’s not being used as a steamer. Bigger than my old steamer and multi functional. Very pleased with my purchase.

Well worth the money

A really nice quality pot that cooks well. It is a good size and holds a good water amount so it doesn't all steam away and ruin food, so does not need constant watching, but should always be monitored. Stainless cleans up well. I hand wash to keep it clean and shiny. Has not developed any rust, and I use it very frequently. I liked it so much, I bought a second one to replace both my over-used hard to clean pots because of the value and the price for this one. I have been using steamers for 30+ years, and this one is good quality and easy to use and easy to clean compared to ones I owned in the past.
