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 9-1/2" tall and measuring 7" in diameter, the lower part of the steamer has a satin finish exterior that contrasts beautifully with the glass 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. Made of 18/10 stainless steel, all pieces are dishwasher safe.
