Steamer insert? Am I wrong?

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've never had that problem and I use the steam option all the time. You might try not pressing so hard on your fabric and making sure the fabric is smooth on your ironing board. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Yes, I have cleaned our shower insert using steamer. You should know that the steam just seems to loosen the scum, you still may need a little elbow grease and a microfiber cloth to remove it. The steamer definitely helps but the dirt doesn't just slide off without a little encouragement.

I haven't used it as a steamer but it should work well. The center insert is light but seals well on the silicone. It acts like a lid and only when liquid hits it does it lift up to allow the liquid to bubble up into the boil over part.

I'm dissapointed. The steamer I bought cannot work absoultly. Steam cannot come out. Since it is not expensive and it is too trouble to return or exchange, I don't want to pay attention to it anymore.

I am not really sure because I found the steamer to be too heavy to hold up and use. Maybe using less water might have helped but I gave it away. Don't know what happened to it after that.

Hi LouiseI haven't investigated this yet because I didn't have a reason to change any part on my steamer. But I am sure if you searched within the Amazon catalogue you might find what you are looking for.

That's because that steamer is garbage. I've returned 2 of them. Go to bed bath and beyond. I got a conair one for 50 dollars and it's lasted 6 months. Works perfect everytime

Hi J. You must use another pot beneath this one. The entire bottom of this pot is perforated, as shown in the image, and the perfs go away the way through. You set the steamer on top of (slightly inside of) a pot with a little boiling water, and the steam comes up through the holes. The concentric ridges on the bottom of the steamer allow it to sit on top of pots of several different sizes. This is why it's called a "universal" steamer. There are lots of questions and answers you can read regarding the pot diameters this will work with. No matter what size you use, though, be away that it's not a snug fit. It's stable unless you bump into it firmly.

The steamer insert does fix the 4qt pot. I am using a streamer from another Farberware set. I ruined the pot, but since the streamer is the same size, it still work well.

I would suggest elevating the steamer in the pan then pour water up to half way of steamer. This is to prevent direct contact with the base of the pan so it will not burned. I use a veggie steamer rack that will fit in the pan. You want to make sure the lid for the pan is tightly sealed so water does not evaporate rapidly.

That is correct. However, please know that it may as well be only 14 pieces because the steamer insert is not functional. I own, love, and would recommend this set but poor design renders the steamer insert useless.

The only think I can think off is that there probably is an obstruction or your steamer chip is fried. Write or call them. I had problems with mine and they send me the part and a video on how to change it and know is fine. It does take a few weeks to get the part. Hope it helps

Yes, must have a sauce pan under this steamer insert. The pan will provide the boiling water and steam for the food above, in this steamer insert.

I have the same issue. It's coming out of the hole and when I turned it off after a while and ran cold water over the pot, the orange safety thing plopped into my food and most of the liquid was gone. I put the thing back in but I wasn't sure how far it's supposed to be in. I pushed almost all the way (it's housed in a rubber thing under the lid) and partway and either way the steam just comes out of that hole. The instructions don't mention anything about steam coming out of that hole. I've never used a PC before so this is very confusing.
