Does Calphlon have a 3 ply steamer ?

Yes, I have one. It is not identical to the tri-ply set but fits the 4qt tri-ply saucepan well.

I think they do not actually. The steamer itself is a single stainless ply - not a 3 ply. It is part of a set that is 3 ply, but the steamer is not - and does not need to be.

I own the steamer and it's terrific. Not 3 ply and doesn't need to be. You only need 3-ply for good heat distribution for pans on a stovetop or burner... a steamer sits above boiling water. No worries about burning.

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...

No it did not. I was a little dissapointed. It's a nice quality steamer though.

I'm not sure if two steamers together will give you the right costintancy of steam you might want. If your layering two at a time you might want use a bigger pot underneath both steamers. This steamer is universal from 2 Qaurts up to 4 Quarts.

In general Cuisinart triple-ply cookware is triple ply on bottom and sides. This provides better heating and cooking. Chef's classic is triple ply only on the bottom, the sides are only stainless. But in a steamer I don't think this matters as much as in a saucepan.

Hi,This is really a question for the All Clad folks. The marketing didn't distinguish between the two. All I can say is that I think I bought the tri ply SS version, and I really like it. I do note that SS does not cook the same as Calphalon or cheaper teflon pans, and the response of the pan to heat (I use a gas stove) takes getting used to. It is VERY responsive.Robert

No I don't think so. But you can buy a steamer rack at most markets - adjustable types.

It is not tri-ply like the All-Clad brand. But this Emeril line is GREAT. An excellent choice.

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

Yes, each of the parts is available individually at the magma web site, http://www.magmaproducts.com/. There is also a colander/steamer available that fits into the nested set and works quite well.

I don't remember seeing one but I've used the steamer a number of times now and just follow recipes for steaming food online.

There is a steamer insert for the Cuisinart Multiclad set. I have not found one for the other sets.

There are no 4 ply available anymore. They have improved the bags and lowered the number of plys to 3 ply.Let me know if there are anymore questions...Thanks

If I understand your question, the answer is no. You can remove one tier, and have the other tier (half of the stack) for steaming. The tiers are stacked and equally sized.

Hi, Ewelina -- No, the Joyce Chen 3-Tier Steamer is definitely stainless steel on all surfaces that touch food... it's a nice weight (heavier than light, but not too heavy), is made very well, and feels very solid. It's one of my favorite pieces of kitchenware, and I recommend it highly.

I am not aware of a 4 ply version, but I can tell you that these babies have held very well in the so. Texas thorny terrain.
