No. The insert has to be ordered separately. I only used mine once as there are other, more convenient ways to steam food which do not require a pressure cooker. There may be special uses for insert mentioned in the WMF cookbook, but I did not try them.

Yes and no depending on what you want to cook. Yes : For anything that won't retain too much water e.g. Potato or when you evaporate all water e.g. rice dishes No : Veggies, fish etc. These could get soggy (disintegrate) and you will have to strain things out at the end. Buying a separator (&lt;$10 in any Indian store) or steamer basket is a good investment. Remember to remove the 'whistle' and steam for desired amount of time if you plan on using this as a 'steamer' and not a pressure 'cooker'. The quality of the steel (as others have already mentioned) is stellar. Cleaning it is extremely easy, unless you burnt something in it of course :)

yeah it has a small removable divider in the top, but it doesn't have it's own cap so if you put sauces in it, the sauce will get on the rest of the food. It divides food well though :)

I have only used the large Pan Savers. I use them in my 6qt and 4qt slow cookers.

yes, you can saute things in the cooker before actually using it as a pressure cooker. you can evenbrown meat in it.

You do not need a separate lid for the slow cook feature. Set the pressure knob on the lid to the "release" position while slow cooking. The unit is well made, sturdy and most likely, with proper care, will last for a long time.

It has different settings. It also serves as a slow cooker with other features involving degrees. This is a very nice item. We use it for a lot of family functions.

The one I got did and the photo is showing two. I might add only cookware with a stainless steel bottom will work on the cooker. I had stainless still cook ware but with aluminum bottoms and they would not work. The pans that come with it are great. Check out cookware before buying. It' not cheep.

I used it for the 3-quart dutch over part of the combo cooker. It helps to keep things from sticking to the very bottom of the pan. It is difficult to clean, but in my experience with meats and such, it helps keep it from sticking directly to the bottom of the pan. Some people use it as a hot pad.

Yes it does, but I have to admit I felt the same way as you do til I started using it. It is very sturdy coating. Not like the cheap non stick pan coating. It has been very durable as you would find in the higher priced non stick pans and clean up is so easy, no scrubbing involved at all. I yet to have even the slightest scratch on the coating and I have used the slow cooker once to twice a week since I have received it. Hope this helps you.

"The cooker"?? It is not made for any special cooker that I know of; it's simply a steamer basket/collander.

I haven't tried this but seems to me that it ought to work just fine,it cooks from top to bottom ,so just putting another rack in should not make any difference. Hope this helps,I love my cooker.

I was unable to answer the question I just received as I have not used my pressurecookers yet. I will use them this summer for canning as this is why I purchased them.I received my cookers to late in the season for canning last year.
