"Necessary item to have in one's kitchen"
I sent this asparagus cooker to my son and his wife because they love asparagus. They are very pleased with the product. It has many uses...such as steaming broccoli, artichoke, carrots, etc. Every family needs one.

"Worth the Purchase"
I love asparagus, but always had a problem with overcooking it. This pot solves the problem well. Wonderful idea with the usual All-Clad quality. I'm usually cooking for one, so it's also the perfect size for cooking small quantities of other vegetables. Because of the basket, I think it works better than traditional pots for boiling eggs. It is also great for spaghetti for one!

Update 1/7/07: This pot will not work on induction cooktops.



"All-Clad Stainless Asparagus Pot with Steamer Basket"
This is a fabulous little pot. It is perfect for cooking asparagus and works just as well for hardboiled eggs and corn. It is an All Clad disk bottom pot so it is different than the traditional All Clad cookware but of course so is the price. It is very sturdy and well made. The cleanup is a snap and it takes up very little space on the stove as well as in your cabinet. Excellent quality! Highly recommended!

"Nicely crafted, unique size versatile pot!"
I bought this last summer for cooking aspargus and I really love it. It also works great for cooking 2-3 ears of corn. It is skinny enough that even a few asparagus pieces will stand in the pot and then of course cook perfectly---allowing the tougher bottoms to get a little more heat. I honestly used it almost as much for sweet corn as I did for asparagus---just add a little water in the bottom and the corn steams done in just a few minutes and tastes wonderful.

"Asparagus the right way."
I love asparagus, and I hate it when it isn't cooked right! This All-Clad Asparagus Steamer prevents me from ruining my favorite vegetable. It is easy to clean and easy to store. And for the price, easy to buy!

What our customer's say!

"All Clad MULTI COOKER, not All Clad Stainless", This is a great product at a great price, but don't confuse it with the three-ply All Clad Stainless line. This cooker has the aluminum disk attached to the bottom of the pot like their multi-cooker and the large stock pots, not aluminum sandwiched between two sheets of stainless.It is made in China, not the US. Of course if it was the standard stainless line it would cost a couple of hundred dollars.

As far as cooking, I love it for cooking asparagus, broccoli crowns, corn or steaming small quantities of just about anything. We like ours so much that we have been giving them to our friends for gifts.

"All-Clad Asparagus steamer", As with all the All-Clad quality cookware, its heavy duty and will outlast the chef. If you can save up for this line of cookware, you will not be disappointed. Comes to a boil fast with less heat, stays hot and cleans-up well. Well worth the price; this is the last pot you will buy.

"CAUTION: NOT for induction cooking, as stated on Google", Asparagus pots in general are great. However, I found this pot by googling "asparagus pot induction cooking" and the descriptor confirmed that it should be induction-ready. It isn't. The bottom is aluminum, not stainless, and therefore not magnetic. I have to return mine, so I'm just trying to save others this hassle.

"Happy cooking", This is an excellent product for steaming asparagrus or boiling fresh corn on the cob. I highly recommend it.

"This will last a lifetime", Cooking asparagus is a pain, since few pots in our (otherwise well-equipped) household can handle it. Either you lie down the asparagus in a frypan, which means you can't fit more than about a pound at a time; or you use a pot that's entirely too big, and it takes 20 minutes for the water to come to a boil. And in both those cases, the asparagus can cook unevenly.

I'd wanted an asparagus pot for years, but somehow could never bring myself to purchase one. Who needs another single-purpose item? Just how much asparagus do I think I'm going to eat? Yet, as others have pointed out, this is less a one-item pot than it initially seems. It'll be perfect for a couple of ears of corn on the cob, for hard-boiling eggs, and for steaming a few artichokes.

When I finally had the excuse to buy an aspargus pot (okay, it was part of a Halloween costume -- stick a bottle of port in the pot and carry it around: port-a-potty, get it?), I took the opportunity to do some shopping. I think I looked at a half dozen of these in a couple of stores. I looked at a few of the pots that cost about half the price, and immediately rejected them. Sure, this isn't something I expect to use all the time, but they were... not flimsy exactly, but definitely not sturdy. The less expensive model had a glass lid, which I don't trust.

And, surprisingly, once you get past the "cheap" model, there's not much difference in price between the various pots. Sitting next to this All-Clad on the shelf was a pot that cost $5 less. It didn't have the bolted-on construction; its squishy handles were comfortable, but I didn't expect they'd stay that way over time. For the five bucks, I went with a brand I knew.

After the bottle of port was removed from the post-Halloween festivities (and, since that's where I got cheap, the port allocated to pear-poaching duty), I tested the asparagus pot on a bundle of white asparagus I'd gotten from the local gourmet market. As Schneider says in From Amaranth to Zucchini, the quality of asparagus in the US isn't nearly as good as what you'll find in Europe, and it should be boiled rather than steamed. It took only 3 minutes to cook in my new asparagus pot, and was indeed perfectly cooked (if, indeed, not as good as the European stuff). You lift it out (though I'll warn you to have something in which to set the basket, as there was a moment of "NOW where do I put it?!") and you don't have to worry about tongs or other awkward implments for moving the veggie around.

One of the disadvantages with the frypan or big steamer method was that cooking asparagus took over the stove. This pot consumes very little real estate. My ownership of this pot will probably put green asparagus back on the menu!

This isn't the sort of item that one _must_ have. But I'm really glad I own it.

"About the asparagus pan", I actually don't have an ALL CLAD bran asparagus pan, but do own one from a comparable vender. I thought the pan itself is great. Great for cooking corn, noodles, and even broccoli etc.. I, also thought it was a great reasonable gift idea. Caution with gas stove...if it boils over can extinguish flame.

"WORKS LIKE A CHARM", USED THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST NIGHT,I WAS TIRED OF OVERCOOKING ASPARAGUS.WORKED GREAT.IT IS MADE OF QUALITY STAINLESS.BASKET IS THE RIGHT SIZE FIGHTS NICELY INTO THE POT AND THE HANDLE MOVES OFF TO THE SIDE,IT LAYS DOWN.I BOILED EGGS ALSO,GREAT WAY TO BOIL 5-8 EGGS.I WAS VERY IMPRESSED.
