Steamer insert? I just purchased the Cuisinart multiclad pro 12 piece set... it includes a steamer insert which doesn't really seem to fit any of the pieces as I'd expect. Am I wrong?

Yes it sits on top of the 3-quart saucepan. I've cooked yummy meals with the steamer before, don't worry about it so much, just cook with it and you'll see. I do wish that the steamer had side holes, though, as the bottom-only holes can get clogged up quickly.

I saw that too, and it does, technically, fit, but it sits on top, not into the saucepan as I would expect... is that okay? I'm wondering if that even WORKS?

I would say as long as you have enough water inside to produce the steam and the steamer comes with a lid right? Test it out... I am thinking about getting this set also. I just wish this came with a pasta insert.

I use the large insert for pasta and the small insert for vegetables. If you steam vegetables you have remove them as soon as they are done or they will overcook.

I'm not sure about your question either. One of these steamers can be stacked on top of another identical steamer but, they are not designed to be used like this so there will be a reduction in the amount of steam for the top basket. A better system may be to use a standard steamer basket in the bottom of an all clad 4qt saucepan and then place this steamer on top in its proper place. Hope this helps.

Yes, but it can be a little hard to find; you have to snoop around Cuisinart's website to find the dimensions. Personally, I found the pans a little smaller than you might expect from the picture, though they are all true to the dimensions listed online. That was good for me, as I only ever cook for two and used to find my pots/pans being too large for the portion sizes I wanted to cook. If you frequently cook for large numbers of people (ie, meals for 10+ people) it might be difficult to prepare everything in these. Pot/Pan Dimensions from cuisinart.com: MCU192-16 1 Qt. Saucepan with cover MCU193-20 3 Qt. Saucepan with cover MCU33-24H 3 Qt. Saut with helper handle and cover MCU66-24 8 Qt.

Wish I could help, but I don't know. Have you checked the Cuisinart website? They might have the answer ... or Customer Service.

Hi Shirley, the steamer insert measures 7 3/4" outside diameter and 3 3/4" deep. I think it would be a very tight fit if your pot is exactly 7 3/4" too. This would also only leave room for an inch of water under your steamer.

It's a universal steamer so that the saucepans you have will fit below and steamer cover fits on top. Don't know for sure, but guess is no it doesn't fit

For a definitive answer I suggest you send an email to Cuisinart. They were very helpful when I wrote to them. Their website is www.cuisinart.com. Good luck!

I have the Pro 11. I would advise you to check the Cuisinart customer service. Their web site should provide a contact number. Hope you find your answer.

It doesn't fit mine, the oval part of the pusher is not the same as the opening on my Cuisinart DLC-10 - it is rounder and does not fit into the opening. I am returning it.

I had to replace my cover also on my old Cuisinart, you must have the right part number, I ordered the wrong part number the first time. The one that ended up fitting my old DLC 10 plus was 117BGTX. Hope this helps you.

Would you please post the information required to obtain glass lids for the Cuisinart MultiClad Pro 12 piece set. I contacted Cuisinart and was told that they do not have glass lids for this set. You help is very much appreciated.

Steamer. I use it all the time. It fits only the Cuisinart sauce pans. I have not found any other sauce pans it will work with. They could exist.

Any chance you tested it out and it fit? I've purchased an 11 cup Cuisinart as well and am not having any luck finding a 1mm that is specific for my model, was thinking about trying a couple out.

Yes. Here is the link to the manual for the Cuisinart MCP-12 MultiClad Pro Stainless Steel. This is what I have. Do not overheat! http://www.cuisinart.com/share/pdf/manuals/mcp-12.pdf

I'm not sure I understand your question . I think you mean you want to stack this on top of another steamer with something in it so you're steaming two different items. All I use it for is singe steaming and it fits very nicely on my small coppercore saucepan 1.5 qts, very tight with no escaping steam. Hope this helps you. Lynn

I hope that Crock-Pot will see fit to offer the inserts for this model. I chose this model because reviews were better regarding it not leaking, and I like the power base idea (I have an electric kettle that has a similar power base). Please, Crock-Pot, start offering inserts for this model, so users can prepare multiple meals on the weekend, and tote the inserts to work. Thank you!
