Can someone please tell me the dimensions for this steamer. I am particularly interested in the diameter of the base. Thanks

I usually never write these reviews, but since I love this steamer so much, I will try to help. The diameter of the base is 4.2 inches, and the height is about 7.5 inches if you include the handle.

Base is about 4-1'14" in diameter. The unit is approximately 7-1/2' tall to the top of the steamer wand.

The steamer basket is about 7" across and about 4" deep. I've never used the steamer basket. I have strictly used it to steam rice and I love it for that. Comes out perfect every time.

It's a great product with adjustable size. It will fit anything that's smaller in diameter of the steamer.

I'll do my best to answer this qustion. The inside diameter of the steamer basket is 9.5 inches at its' widest point and 4 1/8th inches deep. The pot depth is 5 7/8 inches. When inserted, the steamer basked goes into the pot approximately 1 3/4 inches. I use this steamer regularly. In fact, I used it today to par-steam two pounds of Brussels Sprouts for freezing. I could not be happier with the product. It gets a great deal of use in my kitchen.

This unit is rather large & sort of bulky....i just got one the other day, and i still have lots of questions...i assembled it, and filled it with some water & waited until the light came one & tried it out, but i don't think i had the right attachment....i too would like to know how hot the steam gets & what all can i use this on? i thought it might be good to clean some of our grandson's toys, etc...i think i'll call the info number this week....

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

six inches across the rim and about 5 and 1/4 inside the bottom of the steamer. I love it. Perfect for two people and use it almost every day.

I gave it as a gift but if I recall about 3/4". It did fit nicely in a four quart pan and even a fry pan if you leave the leaves open. Also key for me was the sturdiness of the feet, many of the steamer I saw at the store had feet that easily bent.

It's very versatile pan size-wise with the smallest size pan it can accommodate gradually increasing by what appears to be an inch each time, so the it should work with 6", 7" and 8" diameter pan. It's an excellent steamer which we use frequently. It does not fit a 4.5 quart saucepan, at least not mine, however a 3.5 should be fine!

It's pretty square eight inches by eight inches. And the depth is three and a half inchesI love this steamer. Eady to clean BPA free and easy to clean. I have tried a few more of the Sistema products and like them as well. If you choose, enjoy!!!

At the base it is 6 inches across then it widens to 7 inches and widens again to 8 inches at the top. It's about 4 inches deep. I use it almost daily. It's the best steamer I've ever owned.

The steamer goes into a pan at least 10inches wide and 7inches tall. A rack should be used under it.

The pake is kind small about 12"" tall. The only thing is putting the steamer arm on. This is very simple.

Hi, Joan -- The Norpro 1 Quart Stainless Steel 3 Piece Mini Steamer I have is 6" across... and yes -- the inside of the steamer at the bottom is about 1/2" smaller. And echoing what's been said, I LOVE mine and use it frequently -- it's such high quality, so well-made, and just sweet... easy to use and easy to clean. Perfect for a side-dish for 1 or 2...

somewhere between 13 and 13 1/2 inches - the steamer doesn't add any height whether it is in our out - I always store it w/lid upside down (knob inwards)

This was bought as a gift for a family member. I don't know the answer to your question, but the family member is very pleased with the steamer, even happy.
