Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Stainless-Steel Steamer Insert with Glass Lid
Customer Review: Pretty, but not very functional
Summary: 1 Stars
I like the Calphalon Contemporary line a great deal, and so I was pleased to find the steamer insert that fit my pan. But my first attempt to use it was a failure--the small steamer holes (and not very many of them) are easily covered by the food to be steamed, leaving the insert to function like a double boiler. After working for close to an hour to steam summer squash (which should take 20 minutes at most), I gave up and dumped the squash into the steaming water and boiled it. I'm sure that some foods will steam in this pan, but items that lay flat like sliced vegetables will be a problem.
Description of Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Stainless-Steel Steamer Insert with Glass Lid
Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick stainless-steel steamer with glass lid is the last steamer you'll ever need to buy. Unique tulip bowl shape design fits Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 2-1/2-quart and 4-1/2-quart saucepans perfectly--but would work in any other saucepan as well. Includes tempered glass lid for easy monitoring of cooking process. 18/10 stainless-steel construction is is dishwasher-safe and carries Calphalon's lifetime warranty. Lid fits interchangeably on the Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Stainless Double Boiler Insert.The high-quality Contemporary Nonstick line of cookware is designed to meet the needs of busy families while offering the high-quality construction associated with the Calphalon brand. These pots and pans offers a stylish, attractive look while making cooking and cleanup for family meals or special occasions easy and low-stress. Contemporary Nonstick cookware replaces Calphalon?s original and highly popular Professional Nonstick II line--but with improvements to make it even better. The most obvious enhancement is in the versatile rounded and flared design of the pots and pans. This design makes a single pan suitable for various cooking techniques and provides better access for pouring and stirring.
This stainless-steel insert is perfect for steaming vegetables to crisp-tender or cooking a light dinner of steamed cod. The steamer has five perforations encircling it to draw steam heat in from the boiling water in your lower pan, heating food gently without overcooking. A tempered glass lid is encircled by a stainless-steel band that complements the cookware and fits snugly into the rim to thoroughly circulate steam. Two ergonomic brushed stainless-steel loop handles stay cool to the touch on the stovetop and are riveted to the insert for durability. This cookware is dishwasher-safe and is covered by a lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde
