Product Description
What could be healthier than steamed veggies on a bed of rice or pasta? With this stackable set you can utilize the steam from whatever's simmering below to cook whatever's on top. How's that for cooking efficiency? Functional as well as beautiful, this 3-quart saucepot and 2-quart steamer insert are made of heavy 18/10 stainless steel polished to a mirror finish. The pot has an aluminum core in its base to spread heat quickly and evenly. The core is completely clad in stainless steel so, like the rest of the pot and the steamer, the pot bottom resists corrosion and discoloring and cleans up easily. Thick rolled rims add durability and make it possible to pour from the pot without dripping. Because the pot is 4-1/2 inches deep and comes with a tight-fitting, domed lid, it is roomy enough to simmer stocks and soups and can also be used for braising veal shanks or for cooking chili on the stovetop or in the oven. (The handles are oven-safe to 350 degrees F and stay cool on the stovetop.) The pot and steamer are dishwasher-safe and come with a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

 A great saucepot/steamer combo! September 25, 2001
Steven Dennis (Reston, VA USA)

This has got to be the deal of the century, and not only that, these pans will last you almost that long! My mother has had a set for 35 years, and I've had mine for 5. Nearly indestructible, dishwasher safe, good performers on the stovetop, with stay-cool handles! They even look great after all those years!
Keep in mind that because they are mostly stainless steel, with an aluminum bottom, Farberware does not heat up quite as fast as, say, hard-anodized aluminum such as Calphalon, which gourmets prefer. Stainless steel is a poor heat conductor, while aluminum is good and copper is the best. On the plus side, you can't put Calphalon in the dishwasher and Calphalon does not have true stay-cool handles, like Farberware.
Anyway, how often do you buy a gift knowing that it will still be around 20, 30, 40 years from now? By the way, if the pot does have a problem, they come with a Lifetime Warranty.
Another Great Farberware Product ! September 24, 2002

This is another great Farberware product we purchased to help stock our son's first college apartment. He thought it was a pasta cooker, was a little disappointed (at first), that it was a 'small' steamer, what could you possibly cook in there ? Well, he is actually cooking/steaming fresh vegatables, and enjoying them. He has fallen in love with steamed potatoes!The pot is actually small (3 quart) with about a 4 inch side, so it can also be used for servings of soup, pasta sause or that small batch of chilli. The steamer pot fits snuggly into the pot, with just the right size holes to allow the steam in, but not the product out. AND the lid fits tightly, allowing for a quick and fast steam cycle. Overall, a great product, that is being used much more than originally thought that it would be used. Much more than just a vegatable steamer.

I've been using the same Farberware steamer day in and day out for about 14 years. I just bought one to prepare a second variety of veggies for the same meal and I like it. The overall quality seems better than my original; however, the only drawback is that the bottom half requires using both hands to carry and empty it as opposed to the original long handle version. It's obviously made to give a lifetime of use and given the price, it's an outstanding value.
great to cook in and easy to clean! October 29, 2002

This is a great size pot!! It fits nicely in my cluttered cabinet! The pot is light in weight, even with the steamer insert, but it is not flimsy and is well made. The handles stay cool and the lid seals on nicely. Great for steaming vegetables, preparing rice dishes and any other recipe where a larger pot & steamer would be inappropriate.
CAN'T DO WITHOUT THIS HANDY POT August 1, 2003

This little steamer is the most used pot in my kitchen.
REASONS I REACH FOR IT EVERYDAY:
A. NO HANDLE TO EXTEND OVER FRONT OF COOKTOP
B. NO HANDLE TO EXTEND OVER ANOTHER BURNER
C. HOLDS ENOUGH VEGETABLES FOR SIX
D. COMPACT TO STORE
E. EASE OF USE ENCOURAGES ME TO COOK "HEALTHY"
I have purchased 9 of these steamers and have encouraged friends to buy them. Total count of steamers in use by my friends is 27!! (and not a one of them would part with it)
