I now have a non-cuisinart 4 quart pot but the steamer insert needs to be replaced. An 8 inch diameter insert is needed will this unit work for me?

The steamer actually has a 3 step bottom with the widest part being 8 inches so it should work OK.

Sorry I don't know. I think it also has to do with the shape of each pot.The one I bought doesn't even fit the Cuisinart pot that Amazon recommended. It was a waste of money for me. I emailed Cuisinart but they never really told me why it didn't fit. I'm not sure if it was Amazon or Cuisinart's error, but this one did not fit Cuisinart's Multiclad pan as stated on this site.

This pot does not come with a steamer insert. However, if you're talking about the Calphalon metal steamer (which can be purchased separately, along with the pasta insert), those are intended for the Calphalon 8-qt stock and multi-purpose pots; they do not fit the Calphalon 3.5-qt "Pour and Strain" pot in question. However, there are many rubbery, silicon vegetable steamers available that will fit this pot (and will not damage the non-stick surface). They can be found at kitchen specialty stores, department stores and even super markets; prices range from about $6 to $12. We use a Trudeau, 8.5-inch circumference silicon steamer with this pot -- works great. And the pot's pour spouts, coupled with the vented lid, make it very easy to empty the remaining water from the pot, once the vegetables have been steamed.

Yes, I purchased 2 of the steamer inserts to replace a traditional bamboo steamer. Usually 1 insert will suffice but 2 handle an enormous amount of food

I don't have the cuisinart, this fits my electric instant pot pressure cooker and it is the 6 quart.

the steamer insert holes are just under 1/8th inch in diameter, the large insert the holes are just a little over 1/8th inch in diameter, I have cooked angel hair pasta in it and had no problem with it going through - not something I could say about the colander I used to drain it in.

My 8 inch pots actually measure 8 1/4 inches from rim to rim and it does fit over them but I bought Helen Chen's 11 inch steaming ring so I can put it over almost any size pot.

Per the All Clad website the 3 qt saucepan in the Copper Core line has a diameter of 8.8". The 3 qt saucepan in the traditional stainless line has a diameter of 8". This steamer insert is 8".

Hi, The 85360 is 8 inches in diameter. This would not fit in my 6 quart pressure cooker. I bought the 85341 which is 6.75 inches in diameter and it fit perfectly. Measure the bottom of your pot and this should tell you which one to order. Good Luck!

No this inner pot doesn't fit Cuisinart or other brands. It's designed specifically for Instant Pot products. If you use this insert (inner pot) on other brands, there may be leaking of pressure during operation.

I second the previous answer. Height 4", diameter at top of steamer: 8.5", diameter at bottom of steamer: 6.25" and length of steamer from end of handle to end of pot is 15.75". This steamer seems to only fit Cuisinart pots, but it fits any of them. I got one at a TJ Maxx for ~$20. We love this for veggies- use it all the time!

If you can find a deeper pit with the same circumference (diameter) of the original pot that came with the unit it would work. Your best bet woukd be a restaurant supply store.

The pot is 9" deep. The steamer insert is 3" deep. The pasta insert hangs only 7" deep into the pot. The pasta insert is 9 1/2" deep, so there is 2 1/2" of the insert above the top edge of the pot. The pot is 10" diameter.

My 8 1/2" sandwich plate fits with about 1/4 " space all around in the 4 quart pot. Hope this helps

I think so. It's easy enough to find one that fits the 5-quart saucepan. I do think Macy's has bonus buys where you can get the steamer insert with another pan.

The pot will fit BUT the original lid is no longer be a tight fit. Steam and heat will leak out.

Yes, I do it all the time. Check the OD of the steamer and ID of the analon pot. The next size smaller might be a better match.
