Has anyone found an insert steamer that can be used with this set?

I use a stainless steel colander set inside the dutch oven with water at the bottom and a lid on top

I don't know what is an "insert steamer". I have a small folding steamer that I have used with Analon like with all other pots. The cooking is so fast with induction stove tops that you really don't need to "insert" anything.

Yes, I purchased a cook book for steamers and it is great. Check out the cook books on Amazon, very helpful Andrew seasoning tips are great. Fish in a steamer can't be beat!!

Yes; I've been very happy with this steamer and used it extensively. You can use it to steam just one or two layers at the same time. The fits with both. I've had bamboo steamers before this, but I definitely prefer this one.

Hi Rhonda, as far as I know, Farberware does not make just the insert. This double boiler is made to use as a set. Hope this helps.

Yes. I use the steamer insert and a small glass mixing bowl. Fill with water to bottom of steamer insert, 1.5 cups of rice, 1.75 cups of water (season as you would like), cover 40 - 45 min. on steam.

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.

Hi Cathy, Thank you for the question. I would not recommend that steamer. I have had two of them and the plastic bottoms deteriorated and broke apart -- unusable. I then purchased the Secura 3-tier stainless steel food steamer with steam 360 technology at Amazon. I totally love it. I works great--very happy. Plus, you are not getting the plastic by-products in your food. Have a great day!

Search on Jiffy Steamer Steamboard. Not portable but could work. I don't use a Steamboard myself.

I am not sure.....I would look up the dimensions of the other inserts and see....BUT if you live near a bed bath and beyond or any store that carries it ..I would take the steamer in and try it in the floor ..model...it comes off easily enough...if they let you that is....don't get in trouble over it...of course compare prices and all and get it where you get the best deal

You can cook almost anything in the steamer. You may have to experiment with the timing...

I am not really sure because I found the steamer to be too heavy to hold up and use. Maybe using less water might have helped but I gave it away. Don't know what happened to it after that.

I think I see where he's coming from - this would allow steaming different foods simultaneously and add to the available space for foods. I'm pretty new at this steaming but I've not herd of any such slotted piece. Chek with a metal worker to fabricate one.

yes you can use a steamer basket, so long as it isn't so tall that when you put the produce on top the vegetables block the valve on top. I have a silicone basket that I use and it works fine. I let the liquid come to a boil before I put the basket in and you can find charts online that will give you approximate times for different vegetables. Check out hip pressure cooking.com.

I used a steamer on mine...worked pretty good but was a little time consuming

Have not used the steamer yet. Don't know. Maybe you can contact Aroma customer service.
