what is the height inside? I had a bamboo steamer before but it's so short that my food will reach the lid.

It is about 2 to 2 1/2 inches. I use mine for Lobster Tail and Crab Legs. It works great.

We only bought the largest and it is about 12 inches on a side and roughly 5 inches deep. It works great and can hold a whole head of cauliflower when cut into pieces. It has become the go to steamer at our house.

I usually never write these reviews, but since I love this steamer so much, I will try to help. The diameter of the base is 4.2 inches, and the height is about 7.5 inches if you include the handle.

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

The steamer can handle a 12-16 oz size bag of frozen veggies or 4-5 servings of broccoli, carrots, etc. It's 9.5"x 9.5" x 3.5" deep. The steam insert fits in side so it's slightly smaller than the above measurements. The lid snaps on so it can go into the fridge when I don't want to dirty up another dish. I'm single, but I don't want to cook every night, so this gives me a servings for several meals. So, I think it is the perfect size.

The outside diameter of the steamer is 11 inches. The effective diameter is about 9.5 inches at the top, sloping to 7.5 at the bottom. The effective depth is about 3 inches.

It's a smidge over 3 inches. I recommend making a double recipe of the meat sauce/etc... you'll have 'leftovers' (if it makes it that far), but that's OK too...

It's about 8" tall inside the basket allowing a little lid clearance. Works wonderful for asparagus. If I have taller stalks from my garden I try to halve them into nice portions.

The top is larger of course to accommodate taller cooking item and of course provide the steam/cooking that makes the item so delicious and quick to cook. Just focus on the bottom part of your item to see if the bottom is adequate. The measurement is for the bottom I am sure. The top dimension is not really relevant. If the bottom not fit the item it will not work.

The height/depth of the 1 qt sauce pan is 3 inches. I do not know the height/depth of a standard steamer basket.

Will send you a photo of the interior of the tier tomorrow. The bottom is totally perforated with holes a bit smaller than a dime. We also have steamers with one tier with small holes throughout like a sieve and the other tier is with larger holes a bit smaller than a dime. Thank you. Ms. Tane Chan THE WOK SHOP

There is about 3/8" clearance, not quite half an inch. I've cooked 10 chicken legs in it at a time, and they've turned out moist, with plenty of room for drippings.

I unscrewed the "thing" to cook a head of broccoli. Saved it with "gadgets" for use when steaming small things like peas or kernal corn. The "petals" of the steamer opens to a 1 1/2 in basket with 3/4 in legs. Closed, the basket is 5 1/2 in wide. Opens to 9 in wide. It is 3 1/2 in tall at the tallest. It doesn't require much care, a bit of soap and water but can hold up to light scrubbing if it gets "gunked-up".

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...

It is 4 inches high without the lid. With the lid it becomes 6 inches high. This is an Orka steamer, not Mastrad.

I absolutely love this steamer. The bottom of the steamer is ridged so that it fits over multiple sizes of Cuisinart Multiclad pots.The approximate dimensions for the one I purchased are as follows: Height 4", diameter at top of steamer: 8.5", diameter at bottom of steamer: 6.25" and length of steamer from end of handle to end of pot is 15.75". Hope this info helps. Merry Christmas!
