Does this steamer go in another pan? If so how big should the pan be?

I would suggest elevating the steamer in the pan then pour water up to half way of steamer. This is to prevent direct contact with the base of the pan so it will not burned. I use a veggie steamer rack that will fit in the pan. You want to make sure the lid for the pan is tightly sealed so water does not evaporate rapidly.

I put mine inside a pressure cooker bottom with enough water to come about half way up the side.

Hello, I use my pudding steamer in a soup stock pot. The stock pot measure 7 inches deep and 11 inches across to accommodate the pudding pot's handles.

Yes. The pan need to be deep enough to that you can put water up to the water line marked on the outside of the steamer. It works great.

Yes, you place in another bowl. Deep a bough to bring water level up to half way up this steamer. I used a Pyrex glass bowl with larger diameter and it work perfectly.

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

I gave it as a gift but if I recall about 3/4". It did fit nicely in a four quart pan and even a fry pan if you leave the leaves open. Also key for me was the sturdiness of the feet, many of the steamer I saw at the store had feet that easily bent.

The steamer's inside diameter is 9.5 inches at the top and 7.5 inches at the bottom (obvioulsy a taper between the two diameters). The steamer is approximately 3 inches deep. Hope this helps.

Yes, Gary -- the lid fits both steamer tiers and also the bottom pot itself... after quite a few years, I STILL love it and think this is one of the most wonderful, high-quality, and versatile kitchen units I own!

I think it depends on how much pasta you use, but would think it would be big enough for two to three people. The Steamer measures around 5 1/2 inches high and around nine inches across.

I'm not sure about your question either. One of these steamers can be stacked on top of another identical steamer but, they are not designed to be used like this so there will be a reduction in the amount of steam for the top basket. A better system may be to use a standard steamer basket in the bottom of an all clad 4qt saucepan and then place this steamer on top in its proper place. Hope this helps.

Yes. It fits perfectly into 13" wok though the holes of this steamer are bigger than usual that may be because of the 13" size.

not sure--but can't recommend it because both steamers I purchased suddenly lost shape and stopped fitting tightly--top and bottom that is--

I don't think All Clad makes one specifically for this stockpot, but they do make some "universal" steamer inserts that should fit well (although they may not reach the pot's full depth). I thought about this before I bought it, decided to purchase anyway. No regrets. Would be nice to have, though.

I wouldn't think so, you could probably squash it in and perhaps it might be possible to shut the lid so it seals, but you wouldn't be able to use the second steamer- the steamer pans sit about an inch lower than the top lip of the pan.

Hi, Joan -- The Norpro 1 Quart Stainless Steel 3 Piece Mini Steamer I have is 6" across... and yes -- the inside of the steamer at the bottom is about 1/2" smaller. And echoing what's been said, I LOVE mine and use it frequently -- it's such high quality, so well-made, and just sweet... easy to use and easy to clean. Perfect for a side-dish for 1 or 2...

We have steam pans (all sizes: full, half 1/3, 1/4, 1/6 and 1/9) for this food warmer.Thanks

I'm not sure I understand your question . I think you mean you want to stack this on top of another steamer with something in it so you're steaming two different items. All I use it for is singe steaming and it fits very nicely on my small coppercore saucepan 1.5 qts, very tight with no escaping steam. Hope this helps you. Lynn

The steamer actually has a 3 step bottom with the widest part being 8 inches so it should work OK.

The larger frying pan has no lid. The lids fit on the three pots and the steamer. The largest lid is a little smaller than the larger frying pan, and I have used it in a pinch. I haven't checked if a lid fits on the smaller frying pan.

It's very versatile pan size-wise with the smallest size pan it can accommodate gradually increasing by what appears to be an inch each time, so the it should work with 6", 7" and 8" diameter pan. It's an excellent steamer which we use frequently. It does not fit a 4.5 quart saucepan, at least not mine, however a 3.5 should be fine!

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.
