 good, but flawedJan 05, 2010
cooking asparagus upright in a narrow, tall pot is ideal. it allows the tougher bottom portion of the asparagus to boil in water, while the rest of it steams. (my mother used to use an old small coffee tin with the bottom cut out for this purpose). as with the other all-clad pots i own, this one seems to be very well-made, though it has an aluminum disc at the bottom and is not made using their three-ply construction with the aluminum sandwich going all the way up the sides. this is probably unnecessary and helps keep the price down.
however i do have one big problem with this steamer: the basket. the steel rings that encircle the basket are placed too far apart, which is especially a problem at the bottom because the asparagus stalks tend to slide out between the rings. this makes the steamer quite difficult to "load." more rings, closer together would greatly help - or, better yet, a basket of strong mesh (like that found in their 12- quart multipot) would be much better for this very useful item.
these days, my asparagus steamer is used mainly as a countertop repository for my long-handled cooking implements, a job at which it excels. we eat a lot of asparagus, but we prefer to roast it in a pan (10 minutes at 350ยบ with a sprinkle of olive oil, pepper and grated parmesan) or grill it. but, when we need to steam asparagus, the all-clad steamer comes in very handy.

The All Clad Asparagus Pot is just what I expected and works perfectly for several things.

Heavy, solid build BUT rusted after one useJun 03, 2009
Build very solid and sturdy, but after only one use it developed several areas of surface rust around the bottom inside corner. It hasn't inhibited the functionality of the pot but aesthetically it's annoying. Durability is my only complaint.

 nice narrow potApr 24, 2009
The pot is narrow and the asparagus fits nicely. It is hard to get the asparagus out after cooking. I suggest leaving the rubberband on during cooking or tie them up. It also is good for longer pasta noodles and hard boiled eggs.

versatile potMar 07, 2009
I bought this "asparagus steamer" several years ago just to add to my All Clad collection. I use it all the time for all of the uses already mentioned in other reviews. One they did not mention is that it works great as an ice bucket for a bottle of wine!
