Does the steamer have a clad bottom?

I don't know what clad bottom means. It is stainless steel and very strong. It can serve as a sauce pan. I wish I could be more helpful. It is a wonderful steamer. That much I can say. Gordon

yes it does have a bottom, but it is not a solid bottom. so you need to use a pot.

Not certain. Bottom is double clad stainless. Works very well on my gas and portable electric tops.

Hi, Richard. I agree with "Jay" that you use this steamer in combination with the sauce pan and use the lid that comes with the sauce pan. In short, no, this steamer does not come with a lid.

Yes, it is a double level steamer. I will add that is it fantastic, well made and we use it daily too.

No. Bottom is stainless steel. Regardless it's the best tumbler in that it keeps your drink hot for hours!

No it does not. I use a full size sheet pan on the bottom, but it's not airtight.

I have no personal proof that it does but the All-Clad website as well as the box it came in says it does. This question was asked and answeres previously.

I don't believe it does, but from a steamer point of view you should not need it. The steam is doing the cooking, not the steamer.

no it does not. However, great features-stainless pot, can fill to the top to get more than 5 cups, can use paper filter, can use under cabinets cause no steam output, looks great-

No, just the bottom and sides. The top needs to be free for heat dissipation.

The pads do not fall off the bottom of the steamer. We have no problems with this particular unit.

This seems to be glazed cookware. As a rule glazed ware is not glazed on the bottom.

YES!!! It has a thin white handle on the "inside" of the basket. May I say I love my steamer!!! Baked white potatoes are sooooo delicious, soft and moist. All the veggies and potatoes cook in half the regular time. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have.

Yes. There are two steaming sections and the lid which goes on top. I used mine to steam broccoli but I am planning to get ambitious and make dumplings.

Perforations are on the bottom as well as the sides. I love this steamer. I use it more than any other pan well worth the money!
