Could you tell me what the approximate diameter of the bottom of the strainer. I want to see if it would set into one of my pot for steaming.

At the bottom, at the legs (the widest point) it is 9 1/4 in.. That slopes uo to a width of abou 11 1/2 in. OD.

From one handle edge to the other it is 15 and 1/2 inches. I really enjoy using mine.

The smallest strainer is 6" wide and 3" deep, the middle strainer is 7 1/2" wide and 4" deep and the largest strainer is 9 3/4" wide and 5" deep. I can't imagine a job that you would have in the kitchen that one of these would not do the job for you. I love them!! I hope this information helps!

According to my trusty tape measure the inside bottom diameter is approx 6 1/2" & the outside diameter is 7". This oughta be perfect for your needs. This is a great little pot. If you are in to cast iron stuff, you will be very pleased with it. Good luck!

I have a cuisinart 2 qt saucepan that fits this steamer on the 2nd largest ring. The diameter of that second ring on the steamer is somwhere between 6 3/4 and 7 in. The smallest ring is about 6 1/8 in or so.

If you hook onto a bowl and measure the bowl rim to the end of the handle it is 16.5 inches. Any longer than that and it will fall into your bowl. The handle by itself is about 8 inches. The top rim of the strainer is 8.5 inches. From the top of the rim to the bottom of the strainer is 9.5 inches. I hope that helps.

The cylinder is approx. 5 inches deep. It is not as deep as a commercial kitchen size strainer. However, I was able to strain pastry cream and vanilla. sauce.

We wanted to clear up some dimensional information - so thanks Elizabeth for asking. With the top on and locked the strainer is 2 inches in diameter at its widest point and just over 2 inches tall. It holds 5 teaspoons of tea, but we recommend using 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) of tea to get great flavor and allow the tea to fully expand. Hope that helps, Don (Schefs)

The strainer measures 5" in diameter. The mesh holes are larger on the outer rim, at approximately 1/4", but the inner holes are down to around 1/8". It is not heavy, but feels sturdy.

The steamer basket does fit into the stock pot, however to use it as a strainer is questionable, as it only has holes in the bottom, so you would have to keep moving your pasta in order to get it fully drained ... (I think). You can't fit a lid over the two together as the handles interfere with the seating of the lid. This set is superb, and I really love mine. Hope this helps.

The diameter of the section that goes into the drain is one and a half inches wide. The depth is one half of an inch. We have a Kohler bathtub. We're still using the original Endurance Stainless Steel strainer since it has not discolored. I'm estimating that we've had it four years now. We do remove it when we clean the bathtub.

I've done it - so I guess it's safe to do. I think it would depend upon how long you hold the strainer over boiling water. It's stainless steel so I think it would hold up for time to steam your vegetables. These are my favorite strainers and I use them for so much! Probably more than they were intended for! Give it a go - try it with a small one first just to check it out. Have fun! (I LOVE steamed vegetables, too!)

This strainer is 14 3/4 inches end to end including the hooks. The metal part of the strainer is 7 3/4 inches around. Hope this helps. It is not as sturdy as I would like, but it is okay. I don't use it in the dishwasher.

Near the bottom of the cooker the Diameter is approx. 9 1/4 in. It tapers larger slightly to 9 5/8 in towards the top.There is a radius at the bottom as well that looks to be 3/8 in.

I've used mine with all sizes of pots. I love it! I've just about given up using my other strainers. I wouldn't say there is really a minimum. I think it would work just fine with an 8 or 9 inch pot. It is definitely designed for two handled pots but can be used with standard saucepans as well as long as you pour slowly (since in that case you can only hold it down with one hand). It measures about 10 inches between handle grips so I would assume the picture is using a 10 inch pot.

The bottom diameter is 2 inches. Really tippy on my gas stove burners, easier on an electric. I was going to get a copper wire form to put on my burner to help use this little guy. I have tipped it over several times losing the coffee.

Pot is 5 1/2 inches deep and 9 1/2 inches wide including handles. I would allow a little wiggle room placing it in your steaming pot. The handle on top of lid will lift the pot out without any problems.

Complete dimensions from the base to the top of the handle on the strainer is 13". Pot without strainer is 11". With strainer 11". Lid opening is 11". Top opening from handle to handle is 14 1/2". The strainer alone is 9 3/4". I hope that answers your questions. I can tell you that I have bought cheaper and smaller pots and this one is the best quality buy far. Well worth the the price.
