I'm not sure if two steamers together will give you the right costintancy of steam you might want. If your layering two at a time you might want use a bigger pot underneath both steamers. This steamer is universal from 2 Qaurts up to 4 Quarts.

That would work because they are narrower at the bottom - it is 8" across at the top and about 5 " across the bottom and 4 1/2" deep - hope that helps

The pans are of the same size but the sides are not straight, it's at an angle. You need to trim the sides if you plan to make a layer cake.

I've used it with both my 3 Qt. and 4 Qt. saucepans but it doesn't fit either really well but I think that's because my saucepans flute out at the top. I usually use it with my 4 qt. more often and let steam escape out the other side while one side fits snugly.

Hi, I have a 3 quart All clad copper core. Yes the top part is the cover of the double boiler and the sauce pan has a cover as well. Since I bought, I have been making chocolate truffles. Also it is good for egg's benedict hollandaise sauce, it is just perfect.

I only had my steamer like this one for a short time -- never actually used it because the lid did not fit properly. However, I did "play" with the parts quite a bit trying to get the parts to fit like they should. I think the bottoms of the baskets are designed to be removed. Is it possible that you have them reversed? That the one that doesn't go in easily should be in the other basket, since the baskets are slightly different in size? I'm guessing here, so that's the extent of my suggestion.

8 inch pan looks different than 10 inch one ...the inner has the connecting line from bottom and the standing wall, isnt it? will be hard to wash..the 10 inch is all one piece and looks smooth at the bottom ..am i right? i wish the 8 inch looks the same as 10 inche one. ..Would some one let me know if they are not the same

As a the 3 tier shown in the photo, it would serve 4. Each layer is a separate pan, which gives you the freedom to add layers if desired. The top pan is only 2"x2". That's about the size of a cupcake. The 2nd pan is 3"x2", but I would still only call this a single serving. The bottom, being 4"x2" could be split to make 2 servings.

I had to wait to respond so I could look at steamer - it looks like you could stack the steamer - there is a lip around it the middle looks like it would stop it for stacking. However, the area below the lip would go into the other steamer. From looking at it, it would work but you would have the bottom of the steamer and about 2.5 (maybe 3) inches in height to put stuff. Such as fish, or carrots. I do have to stress, we love this steamer and use it at least four times a week, the lips and the bottom, going in slowly, allows this stream to fit almost any pot.

What I did was buy 1 and then I took it to my cake lady and we played around with ideas. She had molds of the cake sizes and we could figure it out from that. Also, doing this, I realized that I wanted 2 layers to have a double band. I think I bought 5 for a 3 tier cake.

When we used it the first time, my wife only used two of the three pans to see how it worked. You have to use the bottom section no matter how many levels you use at one time. Keep in mind, unless you are using other liquids the water vapor would only require wiping from the upper most levels.So, Yes you can cook with 1, 2 or 3 units at a time.

HEY Caitlin S....they make steamer baskets for regular sized pot and pan....if the steamer basket that they make does not fit try putting a stainless steel colander in the pot with a lid that fits...it will not be as efficient, but it works and have done this many times...all depends on the diameter of your stock pot if the factory basket fits or not, what i do works......john

It is a two layered product so you have two height options. I had a difficult time getting the layers back together once I separated them.

Hi :) I bought this specifically to steam 1-2 person servings of veggies and it's fantastic. Yeah, you could totally warm-up or make soup in the bottom pot, and not use the top/steaming basket at all. I'm not sure if it's non-stick surface so maybe be careful with creamy soups that could burn, stick, and turn into a super mess & headache to clean afterwards. Maybe broth based soups? Just keep in mind this puppy is only 1 quart so it's pretty tiny. If you're making soup for 1 person it's probably perfect but you've got limited space. Last thing, be careful the handles get super hot. Use with care and don't burn yourself! I hope this helps a little with your purchase InvisibleCloak -Best, Katherina

Hey Elaine, we do two easily. I think you'd be able to do four it five no worries at all. It really easy to clean. Just wipe it out after. Hope this helps

3 large bottom trays you put water in then 2 half trays each for the top for a total of 6 smaller trays (steam table pans). Make sure you put the water in the lower section before you light the warmers. Ooops! stupid human forgot the water in the first pan.

yes a second steamer basket will work, but that is the limit. no more room left.

The one with the holes, well that one is your steamer. The other, the solid one, that little guy sits over boiling water in the bigger pan - that there is your double boiler. And you can, of course, use the biggest one as a soup pan. All said and done it's a 3 in 1 system, the Tom & Jerry Standard of Excellence.
