Can this be used with 32cm Cooks Standard steamer pan? Is it an exact fit, or only approximate?

I bought the "Cooks Standard NC-00247 Steamer Insert (32mm) for Chefs Pan" and it fits perfectly into Cooks Standard NC00238 Chef's Pan.

I purchased the Cooks standard NC-00238 5 ply clad S/S chefs pan 32cm and the cooks standard NC-00247 steamer 32cm purchased 8 mths and use it most days, Rust should never be a problem because it is stainless steel.

I bought the 5 ply NC-00238 and it fits well with the 32cm steamer, the best thing I have ever bought for the kitchen.

This isn't really an answer, but I just bought an 8" pan top from Farberware that doesn't fit this pan: the inside dimension of both is 7 3/4", but the top is millimeters too large, plus the way the sides of the pan are flanged inward, it will take a special top for a good fit. I should have known this. the prior suggestion about finding a 'mix&match;' store seems the best solution.

Hi Shirley, the steamer insert measures 7 3/4" outside diameter and 3 3/4" deep. I think it would be a very tight fit if your pot is exactly 7 3/4" too. This would also only leave room for an inch of water under your steamer.

Although I use it primarily on my 7 1/2" pan, I just checked and it fits perfectly on the 8" saucepan. :-)

This is a wonderful cover with a vent tab, too. It fits all sizes of pans from small to 12 inch pan. I really like mine, but a 15 inch pan is a little too large for this cover. Sorry

It fits the Calphalon Contemporary 2-1/2 qt. pan, as the other reviewer said, but it is not a tight fit, probably because of the curved sides of the pan. Even so, it works OK.

This will work using the Smaller Steamer because it is made with a wider lip around the edge which prevents the steamer from going all the way down in the pot. The larger steamer goes all the way down in the pot so the larger steamer isn't suitable, its more for deep frying.

It's a great product with adjustable size. It will fit anything that's smaller in diameter of the steamer.

If you need to have a perfect fit then I would get the corresponding size (10-10.5"). I have a 10 inch calphalon and laid the 12" calphalon cover on it. It covered the pan but not a tight fit ( the pan lip laid on the glass part of the lid). This may cause splatter and not contain the steam if that is the desired cooking method. The lid is very good quality and I am pleased with my purchase ( for my 12" Calphalon pan).

So - I got my tape measure out to check for you. There are 3 steps which decrease on the bottom of the steamer from 8 to 6 inches - so I can use it on at least four different sizes of pan 6" through 8". The top opening measures 8" but has a heavy lip around it which helps keep it stable and is good to grab. I was thrilled when I got mine & realized this because it is expensive but great quality & justified price if it's so versatile. I use mine everyday & I've had it little more than a year & it looks like new.

No, it will not; it's too narrow. The insert fits 2-4 quart pans, depending on the shape. It works best on pans with straight sides. I usually use it with my Calphalon Contemporary pans (which are not straight-sided), and it does just OK. The fit is not tight, but the veggies steam all right.

It's right there with a ten inch steamer. If they made a 10.5 inch steamer, it would be a perfect fit. The only way that it would work with a 12 inch steamer is if you put the sides over the ring, but it's not going to be a direct fit in the way it was designed to work.

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.

It fits my 10 3/8" saucepan very well. I just measured the diameter of the lid outside to outside edge is 10 1/8" which is larger than the inside diameter 10 1/16" of you pan; therefore, this lid will not fit your pan at all.

The lid for the stock pot fits the larger frying pan. The lid for the steamer fits the smaller frying pan. I find that they fit quite well. I'm VERY pleased with this set.

I can give you the measurements of the steamer so you can see if it will fit. The bottom of the steamer measures 12 1/4 inches. It has a lip that sit on a pan, that measures 13 1/4 inches across.

Your pan should be less than 10 inches max. Mine was 13 inches so the sides just flopped down for me.
