Will an artichoke fit inside of this steamer?

If the steamer was laid flat an artichoke would fit. But if you put it in a pot and the sides of the steamer go up to fit in the pot, I don't think an artichoke would fit.

I have never cooked an artichoke in this steamer, but it appears to me to definitely not be big enough for a large artichoke. A small artichoke might fit, if the pan is deep enough that it would allow the pop-up handle to remain in the "up" position.

Yes. This is the most user-friendly steamer basket I have seen in three decades! Can't go wrong with it.

Yes, the metal ring will accommodate any pot with a diameter of 7" to 10.5" .the 10" steamer fits very secure.

I've never tried it, but don't see why not. The other Rikons have a steamer plate in the bottom, so I think it would work just fine. I just put a fan style steamer in my pan and it fits just fine.

I had to wait to respond so I could look at steamer - it looks like you could stack the steamer - there is a lip around it the middle looks like it would stop it for stacking. However, the area below the lip would go into the other steamer. From looking at it, it would work but you would have the bottom of the steamer and about 2.5 (maybe 3) inches in height to put stuff. Such as fish, or carrots. I do have to stress, we love this steamer and use it at least four times a week, the lips and the bottom, going in slowly, allows this stream to fit almost any pot.

I would say as long as you have enough water inside to produce the steam and the steamer comes with a lid right? Test it out... I am thinking about getting this set also. I just wish this came with a pasta insert.

The steamer goes into a pan at least 10inches wide and 7inches tall. A rack should be used under it.

this works great for asparagus.I have also used it for small articokes and for potatos and squash as well as for boiling eggs. great steamer. Marianne S.

I believe so, do not put the steamer in and you can cover the pot with the lid. I always do it with my other steamers, I just use the pot when I need it.

It's a nice little single serving veggie steamer, but you'll need something a bit bigger to steam much else. You have roughly a 4.5 x 3 inch space here, so a small muffin would fit.

yes the steamer insert can be used as a strainer, and it can be strained in increments if it wont all fit at the same time

Sorry, i really dont know., because i removed the handles in order for the basket to fit perfectly inside my pressure cooker. I use it to steam veggies and fruits.

Yes. The inside diameter is about 8 3/4 inch and the height is about the same. Pick your cabbage accordingly and allow a little head room.

I use the OXO Good Grips silicone steamer. It just fits into the 4 qt. cooker.

I dont own a steamer, but the pan has unique shape which is wide at top and narrow at bottom. Checking dimensions, steamer wont fit this perfectly.

Yes it is very snug when I try to put tuber-ware inside. But I noticed its ideal for an apple, sandwich, juice box and a cookie. I don't have the interior dimensions unfortunately and measurement is a weak area for me. Hope this helps.

Yes or the top trays won't fit - also protects the heating element, and catches vege or meat etc juice that can be used in soups or sauces.

Yes a cup of veggies is fine. I can usually fit one to two cups of broccoli florets in the small steamer. This steamer has really held up! I have used nearly every day for six months and shows no wear and tear
