This traditional style, three-piece asparagus steamer features a chromed wire basket that will hold asparagus stalks upright, allowing the stems to cook in boiling water while the delicate tips are gently steamed. Standing 9" tall and measuring 5-1/2" in diameter, the lower part of the steamer has a satin finish exterior that contrasts beautifully with the polished lid, rim, and handles. This pot will accommodate not just a large bunch of asparagus, but several ears of corn, or even a few artichokes. All pieces are dishwasher safe.
