Will this hold something like broccoli or cauliflower florets in a layer or do I need to cut them small to fit?

It has 2 layers so you may want ttyl8r o cut them to fit. The other alternative is to get the larger one. This size would do about 3 servings of florets.

This steamer is pretty small. I gave it to my mom for a gift and it's perfect for one person. I'm not sure how small the florets would have to be-the steamer cover isn't flat and there is some room to put a layer of them in. Hope this helps!

This is quite small - really ideal for one person - a whole head won't fit inside, but it will certainly hold branches. Probably the key is to steam similar sized pieces so it all finishes cooking at the same time.

You will need to cut them small because this is a little steamer. You won't have to cut them into tiny chunks, though...probably medium chunks. It is a sturdy steamer, and I bought it as a gift for my dad. He loves it!

Not big enough for a layer cake - I use it for some specialty icing techniques and repairs on layer cakes. I like having this smaller size and use it often.

I've used a large zucchini in the opening and it was fine. The unit is really well made and sturdy. I'd say it can accomodate a veggie as large as two to three inches around.

A small chicken will- or a cut-up medium. . .I have used a package of thighs or breasts with no problem, along with a healthy amount of root vegetables and potatoes- although it's not a huge container, it is certainly large enough to accomodate a good-sized meal. It reminds me of an old-fashioned crock pot, if someone had a north African sensibility.

Maybe a small head of lettuce or if you cut lettuce in half. There is a bigger one that would.

Medium has a lot of surface area but it is very shallow. It should do fine for a healthy portion (but if you remover the bottom rack it will have more room if need be). I don't know exactly how small a small is but medium works great for my work lunches

I don't think so. It has a lot of space, but it's more horizontal than vertical. If you cut it in half from top to bottom, or a couple of small to medium ones would fit. I really like mine. It's great for brussels sprouts or broccoli, though.

This size might be a bit small...you'd have to precut the lettuce to fit...and you'd only need a few pulls of the cord...too many and you'd have lettuce mush!

it is quite small. it will hold lettuce enough for 2 or 3 side salads or half a bag of spinach.

Yes a cup of veggies is fine. I can usually fit one to two cups of broccoli florets in the small steamer. This steamer has really held up! I have used nearly every day for six months and shows no wear and tear

Im away from home and can't measure Shorter than I expected. Lettuce will do fine .I guess under 12"

Depending on the size of the carrot you may have to trim them, but I love my produce saver. It really works! I wish they would make a bigger one for lettuce as well.

Yeah, probably. But you'd have to cut pieces first that fit in the cutter part. It's concave to accommodate olives, mushrooms, eggs, etc.

This will not lend it self to being cut. check Container Store. they are great if they fit your space however.

It all depends on the brand's container size and style. I've put both Chobani mini (3.5 oz) and Stonyfield regular (6 oz) containers into the larger one with no problem.

It might be a tight squeeze. I really bought it for the depth for small lasagnas, etc. For whole chickens I would use a larger vessel to let air circulate around it (& possible add veggies). Hope this helps

A double layer will fit as long as the cake is no more than 8 inch in diameter. No three layers is to high, wont fit especially if your planning on adding frosting!
