Great to use in pressure cooker or steamer

Took a chance on a floppy steamer, as I've always used the metal ones.  Metal steamers rust or break down.  This quality model is easy to use, is holding up well and is convenient to store...just fold it!

Have always wanted a steamer and this works great, moving between different size pots as needed. The peeler has been a great surprise. Have been using it to julienne my garden vegetables and make thin strips of zucchini  for "ravioli" packets. Working well!

I really liked this Pressure cooker as it saves my time in kitchen.  It serves the purpose for which I bought it.  Great product.

I use this to steam broccoli, asparagus, and other veggies in my skillet.  I put in about a half inch of water then put the steamer basket in with any vegetable you would like to steam.  Put on lid and the water boils and steams really quick.  I like the fact that it is stainless steel and seems very well made.  The middle part is a little larger than my older one but it still folds up nice for storage.

I cook for one or two, and this size is great since it comes to pressure quicker and doesn't take as much counter space as my 8 qt. However, I needed my larger pressure cooker to cook a whole chicken, so I'll hang onto that one too for larger quantities or food that foams. I don't use the preprogrammed buttons much - would rather have buttons that I could assign cooking schedules for - but I love the two temps. Yogurt is so easy to make! I'm waiting for someone to sell lifter that fits the 3 qt. size to aid in removing bowls from inner pot since there is little space between a bowl and the inner pot. Instant Pot quality is much better than that of my other pressure cooker. When the 8 qt goes, I'll definitely replace it with an Instant Pot brand.

Got this for my pressure cooker to be able to make cakes and it works excellent. It fits well, the food doesn't stick (i put minimal amount of butter) and getting the food out was a piece of cake!

I ordered this product with the intention to bake a cheesecake in my Cuisinart electric pressure cooker. The product itself was very easy to use and unclamp the sides. The nonstick surface was in perfect condition when I received it. After baking my peanut butter chocolate chip cheesecake, I noticed a very small amount of the nonstick surface coming off-very very small. I do not think it will affect the product performance. It really is the perfect size for a pressure cooker.

We bought this a couple of months ago. The more we use it the more we love it. PROS) It has extra steam vents to help reduce pressure when it gets to deep a pressure a build up. Does a great job no matter what's put in it. Has two pot options to cook with. Which is very handy! CONS) pressure cookers can explode if you don't know enough about them to use them safely. A cookbook/technical book on it cate and usage would have been great since most people would prefer the cook pots to not do any exploding so tips to keep it from doing so should have been included. Only other con was that magefeso emblem on the pots should have been made with something besides paper...

I really like this steamer!
I only steamed with my bamboo steamers using a wok. Now that summer is coming I wasn't really in the mood to have boiling water heating up the kitchen so this fit the bill perfectly! Steaming veggies in this is very easy and it steams them evenly. (matter of fact I have just used it for Brussels Sprouts, came out great!)

It also has a timer function (up to 60 minutes). Since this is my first electric steamer, I am getting used to cooking times and the like, but so far I *really* like it!
I also really like the size, you can leave it on the counter if you wish it's about the size of our coffeemaker. It comes apart nicely/stores so you can put it in a compact spot. Cleaning it also very easy. All the components (except the base) are dishwasher safe.

I would say this is a perfect little steamer for veggies and/or smaller meals. Perfect if you have a bunch of fresh veggies to steam while saving stove top space, dorms, small kitchens etc..

I can see during the summer I will be using this electric steamer - a lot!

I love Calphalon products - have used them for years. This item is particularly useful as if can be used as a steamer as well as a stock pot for making stews or soups. Can be used on top of the stove or in the oven. Very versatile.  You can't beat it!

Great and easy to use.  As a first time pressure cooker user, it was a little nerve-wracking for first couple of uses, but it is great for shortening cooking times for so many meals (ribs, spaghetti squash, steel cut oats).  A little misleading with some 'cook' times, as getting pressurized and using the natural release method can triple advertised time.  For example, steel cut oats are 3 minutes, but it can take 5 + minutes to pressurize, and ~10 minutes to release pressure.

I purchased this specifically to use in my InstantPot (yay!). I make lots of hard boiled eggs, steamed veggies, fish, etc., in the InstantPot and wasn't happy with my old stainless steamer. That works fine in larger stove-top pots - but the legs were quite tall  and there were no handles. This steamer is absolutely perfect for my needs.

NOTE: some of the negative reviews say the legs are too short. They likely will be if you want to boil water in a stove top pot  and steam there. But in pressure cookers, you don't use a ton of liquid and so this provides more usable space (and handles - YAY #2) and makes more sense. For a stove top pot, you'd probably be better off using one of those bamboo steamers. I have one and it's perfect. You can fill a pot up with a ton of water and steam the pants off what's in the steamer without having to hover over it. Perfection.

But if you use an InstantPot or other pressure cooker - this one is ideal.

I bought this for use in "pot in pot" cooking in my 6-quart pressure cooker.  It's the perfect size, and works beautifully!  I plan to buy a couple more as backups.

I bought this specifically for inside my pressure cooker to lift foods off the bottom so they don't burn.  This steamer does not have that post in the middle which gets in the way.  I gave it only 4 stars because the feet on the bottom are made out of aluminum and would scratch my stainless steel pot.  My husband was able to take those feet off and replaced with stainless steel which now makes it five stars.

I like this steamer for the price.  The main pot is not heavy so I would not use it for making things that sit on the bottom of the pot like chili as it might burn .  However for anything that will be boiling with lots of liquid, it will work great.  An unexpected bonus was the little colander.  It is perfect for small projects.  I use that more that anything else,

I use this often and it works very well.  I do have a use a very large pot because it is a very large steamer, so I am considering purchasing a smaller size as well.
