All-Clad E414S564 5-Quart Steamer

Love it, love it!!! Great value!!! Size is perfect for a small family, great for cooking, strong materials and made to last for a long time. Not too heavy for carrying with food, love it’s great functionality features.

A versatile pot at 5 quart capacity. Solid All-Clad construction, and excellent All-Clad performance. One of my go-to workhorses, especially when cooking for one or two. A perfect steamer. Great for soups, stews, curries, and one pot meals. Excellent for just about any noodle, e.g., rice, mung, sweet potato, buckwheat or wheat. With the aluminum ply base and curved body, water boils quickly. It has a nice response too. Excellent for steaming eggs instead of hard-boiling them. This pot steams 15 large eggs easily, with all eggs on their side in the basket. If stacked, then a couple dozen or more. Steams 15 eggs in 12 minutes for a soft non-runny yolk, 15 to 17 minutes for firmer yolk (your mileage and personal preference may vary). Bring water to a boil, place the basket with eggs in the pot, cover, steam for desired consistency, flash chill in cool water if desired or let them stand and cool slowly. Stainless steel construction, it cleans easily and buffs to a mirror finish with a soft cloth. A very light coat of cooking spray or oil wiped down with a cotton, microfiber or paper towel prevents spotting after washing and drying, and helps preserve the finish and rust resistance. Well worth the expense.

This is the best pot I have ever had, and I love that I can cook pasta and steam veggies at the same time. the steamer tray also serves as a strainer for the pasta so there is no colander really needed. Cleans up great and just the right size for me and a few guests.

This pot is exactly what I wanted in a steamer pot. It’s a beautiful design and washes up so well. My husband was thinking about purchasing 3 more for Christmas presents to our children because it’s that good! However, there was an increase in the price of $29.95 since September when we purchased our pot. Now it’s $129.95 instead of the $99.95 price. Bummer.

I was always a fan of All Clad so I was hoping this product would be good too and it was. It is large like i need. I steam spinach and needed a larger steamer. It is very well made and will last a long time. I did try other steamers on amazon but they were flimsy metal.

I read several other reviews of this product before ordering. We have two other All Clad products, a huge pan and small 1.5 quart sauce pot both of which were made in the U.S.A. I was a disappointment to find out that this steamer is made in China. This is a solid steamer. It is strong and substantial with the kind of handles found on other All-Clad products. Is the bottom as heavy and fancy as the bottom of a top of the line All-Clad pot that is made in the U.S.A and costs twice as much as this steamer. No it is not. If this was a pot or pan where you were were putting in your food or sauce, you might need flawlessly even heat distribution for which All-Clad is known. With a steamer the only thing going in the bottom of the steamer is water that is discarded. If the less than state of the art steamer bottom does not heat all of the water evenly who cares? You are cooking with indirect heat from the steam. Your food is not going in the bottom of the steamer. If all you use this for is steaming, it is perfect. If you want to have the bottom of the steamer do double duty as a pot to cook food in, rather than using it as a steamer, that is not what this was meant to do. I have not tried to use this product to do anything other than steam. If I was to use the bottom for soup, I would not expect the $99 steamer to deliver the same result and their product made to directly cook and hold food that costs twice as much. The steamer insert is of slightly lighter weight materials than the base part of the steamer where the water goes. The insert is not lightweight of flimsy by any means. This is a considerable upgrade from the $40 to $60 range steamer that melted when I left it on the stove long after the the water all boiled out. The All Clad steamer is not a bargain. If the regular All Clad made in U.S.A. cookware is a Mercedes "S" class, consider this to be the All-Clad equivalent of the Mercedes "C" class. Its almost as good as their top of the line, half the price, but still more expensive than the Toyota Steamer at Bed Bath & Beyond. I would definitely buy this product again.

I really like this steamer and having a 5 qt pot with lid. It looks me 3 times to get one that was clearly new. The others had scratches and some surface issues and seemed like they were a returned item being sold as new. I replaced them and this one is awesome.

Heats quickly, used for steaming vegetables all the time, easy cleaning

Tamaño perfecto, súper útil

Good quality ,perfect , but expensive, fast shipping Thank you

This steamer is the 9th All-Clad pot in our household and I would say its on par with what I've come to expect of All-Clad. Excellent quality, looks great and performs well. This is also the first All-Clad item that I've bought that is made in China. The try-ply base is still fabricated in the United States, but its then shipped to China for the sides/handles/lid and final assembly. We primarily bought this steamer to make homemade baby food, and it does an excellent job of steaming all foods. I think we have steamed every fruit and vegetable to-date without issue. We also use the base solo to make pasta sauce, chilli and stews. My wife found our 10qt pot was just too heavy to lift once filled so this pot is a good size for her. Admittedly, it is much easier to lift and pour for myself as well. It washes and rinses clean very well like my other All-Clad pots. I always dry my utensils and pots immediately so I've never had an issue with water spotting or staining. You will see water spots if you let them air dry and especially more so if you have harder water (been there). Pros: - Excellent quality, performance, and durability - Looks great - Perfect size and weight balance when full for my wife to lift Cons: - Would be happier if its was made entirely in the United States. I guess time will tell how it compares.

Love this pot. We use it constantly for soups, stews, braising and steaming.

Superb quality product
