Yes, I have used the Lugano fondue pot for both cheese fondue and beef fondue. It can also be used for the chocolate fondue, but I prefer a smaller pot that doesn't get quite as hot because too much heat affects the texture and taste of good chocolate.

As Nan G stated, I too would not use in direct contact with Foods. However, if you have in mind a Double Boiler type of use, it would definately hold one pot placed inside of another pot, "Off the Bottom", and therefore allow a "steam" type of cooking in the Interior Pot.

Yes you can. Just make sure everything is fully cooked all the way through. I'd use a meat thermometer just to be on the safe side.

You need the porcelain/ceramic pot (caquelon) for those types. You can use the same assembly for heating but the metal pot will cook them at the wrong temp. Great set btw, got it at xmas and have used it a couple times since!

Yes, you can. I have cooked everything from rice to fresh vegetables in mine. I absolutely love mine.

Yes you can even though that is not the purpose of a pressure cooker. The best use for this would be to cook meat/vegetable/rice faster with the build up of steam inside.

Yes, You can cook meat in it. There are recipes in the booklet enclosed. I never attempted cooking or pureeing meat though. But the cooking/pureeing component is easily cleaned so cooking (steaming) and then pureeing meat would be just as easy and fruit and veggies.

Absolutely. We do it all the time, since that is what we have. My wife love's the RR cookware. Trouble is as a result of her liking it so well , She won't allow me to use it!

I have used my pot to make cabbage rolls with sauerkraut and it worked beautifully. I love my pan and use it daily.

Yes. This is one versatile well made pot w/ different size steamer baskets, one deep one for cooking & draining pasta if needed. Bought this for my grandson & his wife for their starter kitchen, a must have. SO much better quality than the one I now have. I would suggest you buy it.

Yes you can use it for panninis, searing meats and anything else you can think of.

Yes, the process is the same but the cooking time is different. Check the cooking chart that comes with the cooker for info.

If you were going to buy this pot for the insert, why wouldn't you use the set? You can use the Cuisinart for something else. I often have two veggie steamers going at once. I use an old unstable, collapsable steamer insert in one of my other pots and put asparagus spears into that one.No problem with large spears, if it is a bit tippy upon taking it out. My Oggi steamer holds the carrot coins or cauliflower florets. It is a very nice pot.

Not as well as a thicker pot. I use the base of this with a swissmar clay pot. The thicker pot spreads the heat out so the chocolate or cheese doesn't burn.

I put both pots in which I have cooked (e.g. for soups or stews), and serving dishes for vegetables and meats etc. I find it very useful, as virtually all the surface of the appliance is at the same temperature - no cold spots.

Yes, you can! I have used it with high heat, too! It is the best pot I have ever had.
