This MaxiMatic is the second single burner I have owned. I remember reading that one should not use a pot or pan that is wider than the burner. (Possibly for safety reasons - - think of accidentally tilting. The model I have is ~ 8 1/2" in width.) 12" pots or pans would overhang. Also, my burner is elevated about 3 1/4" above the cabinet top surface. (Easier to tilt an overhanging pot or pan.) The burner is certainly powerful enough to bring liquids to boil. [I actually use mine more than the burners on my range top. So convenient, and has good levels of controls to adjust for whatever food is to be cooked.)

The heating element is approximately 8 inches and I believe it would be perfect for your 12 in. cast iron frying pan. I used the Induction Burner for my 8 Quart Pressure Cooker, and my Pasta Pot and it was perfect! It heats much faster than my Natural Gas Thermador stovetop! You will love this appliance.

Yes, I use it in a 12.5 inch pot. Works great! Also great for standing up stuffed peppers!

I don't believe it will. It fills our 14 cup machine snuggly so it is probably too big for a 12 cup machine .

I'll do my best to answer this qustion. The inside diameter of the steamer basket is 9.5 inches at its' widest point and 4 1/8th inches deep. The pot depth is 5 7/8 inches. When inserted, the steamer basked goes into the pot approximately 1 3/4 inches. I use this steamer regularly. In fact, I used it today to par-steam two pounds of Brussels Sprouts for freezing. I could not be happier with the product. It gets a great deal of use in my kitchen.

I would think you could... It will take a lot for a pot this size to boil water.

Probably not. This steamer is for a two cup rice cooker so the six cup cooker may be too big for it.

Hi Carol... probably not... the diameter of the pot should not exceed the diameter of the burner/heating element. Same applies to electric stove. While it may heat the pot, it will take forever and eventually you may burn out the heating element.

Great pot, you have about 12 inches under the top steam basket that you can boil the rice in.

I used 12" pan. the issue is there is not much space between the edge of pan and the burner, and because the burner is flat, all it takes is a little nudge and pot slides off. So it should be fine if you're careful.

No, it will only fit in the 3 and 1.5 quart saucepans. It is not meant to be used with the 8 quart stockpot. It is excellent at steaming vegetables!

This is a good sized pot. I have used it to make stock as well as to steam items. Each ring is a few inches tall. I love this steamer.

HEY Caitlin S....they make steamer baskets for regular sized pot and pan....if the steamer basket that they make does not fit try putting a stainless steel colander in the pot with a lid that fits...it will not be as efficient, but it works and have done this many times...all depends on the diameter of your stock pot if the factory basket fits or not, what i do works......john

No, not a 12". That is too wide. The biggest I use is a 10". The entire cooktop is 11 3/8" wide. Hope I answered your question.

If it attaches the same way to the stem thing all attachments do, I guess it would. I don't know how wide the 12 cup bowl is. Mines an 8 cup

The diameter is 8.86". The height is 5.12" and the diameter, with the handle included, is 15.75". It is a great steamer. It will work with the 2, 3, and 4 quart sauce pan.
