Can you put other cookware like muffin pans to steam small muffin shaped deserts inside the unit?

I have not done that, but I don't see why not. It is very nice and highly recommend for steaming fish!

I haven't tried it but don't see why not. It is the most versatile appliance I have.

I have put the buns opened on the slots on the lid. Only 2 will fit, it warms them, but not like steamed buns. To me it's not worth the mess with the crumbs and all, but as for the unit itself, we own 2, my husband can't live without them.

I contacted Cuisinart. They said the steamer is not compatible with the Contour pans. Good luck!

There is a steamer insert for the Cuisinart Multiclad set. I have not found one for the other sets.

As Nan G stated, I too would not use in direct contact with Foods. However, if you have in mind a Double Boiler type of use, it would definately hold one pot placed inside of another pot, "Off the Bottom", and therefore allow a "steam" type of cooking in the Interior Pot.

Yes, or the equivalent size casserole pan. The bottom of this steamer basket is perforated to allow the steam from the boiling water in the sauce pan or casserole pan to pass through and steam the food.

A mini muffin liner that is 1 5/8 inches fits perefctly. I like the pans because they clean up easily. The bad news is they have to be washed by hand. Don't put them in the dishwasher.

No they don't. The bigger one almost fits so you can place it over the food to keep some heat in, but it won't steam.

Take a magnet to the bottom if it adheres you can use it. Any cookware will work the same way.

You should be able to. They are 3 individual metal trays. But the top cover is plastic so I wouldn't put that in the oven! We made everything ahead of time in pots/pans & then transferred to the trays after.

Nope. The pans are very tiny. I bought them for that very use. Unfortunately, they're so small I can't use them for anything. They're still sitting in the box they were shipped in.

If I understand your question, the answer is no. You can remove one tier, and have the other tier (half of the stack) for steaming. The tiers are stacked and equally sized.

Yes you could but about all good for. Way too small for any sort of or devours warming tray.

I wouldn't call it a fit. They will sit just inside the rim of the saute pans and I have used them this way.

I think you could. From the picture you can see the storage pockets are separate from the pan, only connecting at the top... So hack away! Just an FYI the storage pockets are only a few inches so it may not help a lot. Hope this helps. Take care.

I would say you could, the aluminum pan is just to hold water to heat the food above. You would need to make sure your pan dimensions fit the divided tray.
