I had a smart pot from Crock Pot before I bought this. The Smart Pot would burn everything after 2 hours even on low (I contacted their service dept, and they just said - yah,it gets pretty hot). So I thought forget that, I'm getting something else. This has been wonderful! It hasn't burned anything yet. I love that I can change the pots around for what size I am cooking. The only thing that isn't my favorite is the colors.

Although it's hard to open most times, it does work well. You have to be careful to brush in an upwards direction, otherwise you can get burned by the steam. You also have be patient for the steam to start to flow. All told, it is a good product with the above mentioned caveats.

I loved the idea of three pots in one but the last two meals, Chili and Pasta sauce, pretty basic crock pot recipes burned on the bottom when on the low setting. Maybe If I'm leaving the pot for the day I need to put it on warm.
-- I am mystified by certain aspects of the design of this product. There seems to be no involvement by anyone that might address some faults. This is why lawyers will still make money on lawsuits when someone has a problem with a product - like being burned or otherwise injured.
-- Whoever thought that three tiny 'feet' - not at the outside edges was sufficient, was wrong. Whoever thought that a 'basket' that is 1/2 inch deep was sufficient, was wrong. Whoever thought that leaving out a way to pick up that basket was okay, was wrong.
-- Make the next batch with four feet - at the very outside edges of the main bowl for greatly increased stability. Make that basket as deep as the main bowl so we ... Read More:
It's large capacity, but it won't fit in a standard-size cooking pot. I had to use it in my bigger pot which seems rather awkward. Nice quality, and the lack of the center post is actually nice not to have.

This is my second one. The bamboo steamer's cover will not drop the water, which is condensed from the steam, back to the food being cooked which may ruin the texture and flavor of the delicacies. That is the reason why I prefer the bamboo one to the aluminum one.
Real Simple Magazine Rated this in the top 3 out of 12 cookers they tested (January 2008). I don't actually own it, but I've been spending months reviewing cookers and I'm tired of looking and reading reviews, so this is the one I'm going to buy. "The timers on most cookers start at four hours, leaving you to set a separate timer for quick recipes, like cakes. This one starts at 30 minutes." Other top cookers were the expensive Cuisinart 6.5 Qt at $100 and the All-Clad 6.5 qt. slow cooker with ceramic insert at $150.

This is the perfect product to keep your tortillas warm. Nothing fancy here -- just a good quality product that fits corn or flour-sized tortillas.
I don't know where it is made. My guess is that it may be China. I have already lost one of the covers that protects the metal legs so they do not scratch the coating inside the pot I use for steaming. This does not make it unuseable, but I just have to be crefulwhen I set in the pot. If I knew this may happen before I bought it, I would not have.

Package was in excellent condition when delivered. All parts were separately wrapped to avoid damage especially the spicket. The steamer is great and allows for ample space to cook lobsters for the entire family. 4 two pounders with no problem or boil over.
