"It can be easily removed when you want to use the entire surface of the steamer (e.g. for whole chicken or fish). I removed 1 star off because after few uses, I noticed rust on the joints of the base and the steamer petals (see pictures)."
"I love that I can lift it out of the pot using a fork inserted in the handle, thereby saving my hand from getting burned."
"good product, good price, fast delivery !"
"You do have to be careful not to overload it, as the food could spill out the sides when the steamer is lifted out of the water."
"great for larger steamed items like cabbage wedges."
"They are designed to sort of "lock" together before you put the top on your pot, and they do have a tendency to come apart and spring back up if you take the lid off, but I suspect this is par for the course with any like steamer, and it's certainly not a breaking point."
"However, it does not fit well in my Instant Pot 6 QT, as the handles stick up over the pot and get in the way of the lid."

"I decided to go with stainless steel because no matter how much it sticks, you can always get it out with Bar Keepers Friend, soaking or as a last resort; steel wool. Read all the reviews before getting it and noticed a lot say it does not heat up well enough, it sticks, it doesn't clean well, the lid is too heavy and the wok is too light, and to only use it on medium low heat to avoid burned or stuck food. I tried it on medium low heat and it had so little heat that I could touch the sides of the pan and it wast even warm to the touch. I finally decided to use it on high heat, which is how stir-fry is supposed to be cooked at and everything worked great. Whatever leftover food stains on the wok can be worked out with some soaking and Bar Keepers Friend. As for the wok being too light, that's generally how it should be as the method used during stir-fry is to lift the wok up with one hand and dish/scrape the food onto a place with the other. If there's still food stains, use Bar Keepers Friend. I'm happy with this purchase."
"However... the rivets that they used to attach the handles onto the cookware are made of cheap crap. The first time I made a soup in the stock pot I had to store the pot in the fridge for a couple of days. I don't understand why you would make a good pan, but attach the handles with cheap product that break down from simple food and washing over time."
"How a manufacturer van make a pot and handles out of stainless steel and use a rivet with a lesser grade of SS is I am sure not a design flaw but a part substitution."
"After it was done, I turned the heat OFF, took some on my plate and put the lid on to keep the rest of the food warm."
"While the pan is nice, I received a defective glass lid that shattered the first time I used it, while cooking with it."
"I commented on another review that wrote that the glass top shattered, but I feel the need to write another so that this can product can have a lower star review and to encourage people NOT to buy this product. This is a big safety issue that has seriously made me consider not buying any Cuisinart products as this should have been tested."
