Know before you buy
This insert is specifically designed to fit All-Clad D3 and D5 3-quart saucepans and soup pots with an 8-inch diameter.
While it is engineered for All-Clad saucepans, it may fit other brands if the pot has an 8-inch diameter opening. However, we recommend verifying your pot's inner diameter to ensure the insert sits securely on the rim.
Yes, it is dishwasher safe. While it can handle the dishwasher, we recommend hand-washing to maintain the finish and longevity of the stainless steel.
The perforated design is ideal for vegetables, fish, and dumplings. It allows steam to circulate evenly, which helps preserve the natural nutrients, texture, and moisture of your ingredients.
The riveted stainless-steel handle is designed for durability, but like most metal cookware components, it can become hot during use. We recommend using an oven mitt or kitchen towel when removing the insert from the pot.
