yes, most definitely. I bought 1 and when I received it, I checked it out and it was larger than it looked. So I bought 2 more for Christmas gifts. Everyone loved the steamers. It cooks enough for quanities for 3 or more people.

It's not good for steaming other kinds of food because the little drawer is only as high and wide as a hotdog and it's very flimsy plastic. So most veggies won't even fit. If you squeeze food in it won't cook well because there aren't enough holes. And the top level is impossible to use since there's hardly any steam there. Sadly, you can't boil corn or other things in the bottom level because there's no room at all. So you can't really use it for steaming other foods.

Depends on how much pasta. I use it to steam a whole head of cauliflower and it does it perfectly. I don't know as my boys don't eat pasta :( so we don't eat pasta. I think it would be fine as long as it is the smaller noodles.

It should be big enough, after the ends are cut back I don't see why not. I use it for a cosmetic tray , so I can't say as to how it works in the kitchen and cooking wise.

I doubt it since this unit contains two trays or chambers that are roughly 3.5 to 4 inches deep (3.5 middle, 4 top because of domed lid). If you split it length-wise and laid each piece on it's side then it would work but if you're looking to steam a whole chicken uncut you'll likely want to look at something like an old school Black 19-qt. 2-pc. Clam/Lobster Steamer Set. The price point is pretty close and that would definitely be large enough.

I don't think it would work very well for that purpose, but I've never used a pasta pot before so hopefully someone else will answer your question better. It's an awesome steamer! ;)

Yes, it works well. The only problem is it is too small for the huge batches I sometimes cook.

Yes! It works great for steaming vegetables as well as using to cook and drain pasta.

This does have a good steaming ability. I think if not filled too full, it should work nicely.

I haven't steamed baby food so I don't know the answer to this question. However, it is big enough to steam 2 servings of broccoli that's been cut up in bite sizes. Hope that helps.

I only use it for vegetables, so really can't say. The bottom of the steamer basket is 6" across, if that helps.

No, it's large enough to cook about half of a regular sized pizza but certainly not a full regular size. It's fine for about 3 regular sized slices of bread for grilled cheese, etc...

I would not recommend it. It's silicone. So I don't imagine it would with stand that constant amount of heat for the time it would take to steam something.

No this is a double boiler used for tempering chocolate and cooking various other items. It is not made for steaming. The top pot also has a rounded bottom it does not sit flat.

Yes. There are two steaming sections and the lid which goes on top. I used mine to steam broccoli but I am planning to get ambitious and make dumplings.

Yes especially good on corn and other large vegetable that you want to steam
