What are the dimensions of the 2.50cup and the 4-cup? I need their top outer rim and height measurements. Is it safe to use them to steam food?

I don't know about using them to steam food. Might try the manufacturer's website for product/contact information. The 2.5 cup is 6 1/4" square and 2.5" tall, the 4 cup is 6 1/4" square and 3 1/4" tall. At least that is what mine measured. I bought mine in 2011. The one in that picture looks different from mine, so I don't know how helpful this answer is.

These are the exact measurements. I'll accept another person's estimates of top two containers hold 1/3 cup each and the bottom holds 2/3 cup. I do wish sellers would give at least some general dimensions of the items they sell so we can calculate size and capacity.

I agree with all previous answers as far as dimensions go.. I have used it for boiling water for spaghetti, for chili, for chicken noodle soup, beef and noodles.... it is a great addition to my pots and pans.. and the lid fits perfectly!

Aaron, the inside diameter of the steamer at the top is 8". The outer Rim-to-Rim diameter is 9". The smallest pot it will steam on is the 7" or 7 1/4" as the bottom tapers down. Hope this helps.

The rim to rim diameter is 8 1/2 inches and the height of the pot is 5 inches. Also, the diameter of the base that touches stove is 7 inches and the height of the steamer basket is 2 1/2 inches.

I have the 2 Cup jars [1/2 liter] and they are 3-3/4" tall. I also have the 3 Cup jars [3/4 liter] and they are 5" tall. These jars are really nice - I have been very happy with them.

six inches across the rim and about 5 and 1/4 inside the bottom of the steamer. I love it. Perfect for two people and use it almost every day.

I won't bother to tell you the dimensions but will say DO NOT buy this pot. It is unusable. The lid fits so poorly that steam splatters all over the kitchen. Luckily, the insert fit inside a pot I had and it's wonderful for steaming vegetables but I never use the original pot for any purpose. It was and is the worst pot I ever owned! A very expensive steamer basket:)

Mine is 4 5/8", great for heating 400ml of water in a microwave for pour over coffee.

I think you need to measure. I measured the cup and it is 2 and 1/4 inches tall.I hope that helps you. Enjoy!

The diameter if you measure from outer rim to outer rim is 4 and 1/4 (4.25) inches. I'm making that distinction because on the flip side (the side without the flower on it) you can see a raised circle, which is what helps keep the cover on your cup or mug. The diameter of that is about 2 and 3/16 inches. I hope this helps. If it sounds confusing, ignore the second paragraph. Feel free to ask if you need clarification. I love these, and use them all the time!

I'm pretty sure its the 4 cup size. I use it for pour over coffee. I had the larger one before that I used with my Cuisanart 10 cup automatic coffee maker and this one is about half the size

I've not tried it, but my approximate inside measurements of the steamer tray and lid are 3.5"h and 4"w. Hope this helps.
