AAAA+++
This worked great for my first shrimp boil this past summer. The basket fit great in my pot and I had no problem doing 10lbs of shrimp.
Very sturdy insert
This insert fits my pot perfectly (Bayou Classic 4034, 34-Qt. Stockpot with Steam/Boil Basket and Vented Lid). Just have to make sure that the dimension would be smaller than the pot that it would be used in. It is light but seems to be solid and well made. Ready for those crawfish
Great basket, weak handle
The basket works great and seems to hold up well. My only issue is that the handle on it needs a little work. The metal bent easily and actually came off during a couple of batches and dropped the basket to the ground. We took some pliers and bent the sides (where it attaches to the basket) to a sharper angle and reattached it to the basket. It's been working fine since, but doesn't fold back on the basket cleanly. Be careful when you first use it. If possible, bend the handle ends more inward so you won't have the same problem. Boiling water over your feet and legs is not a good thing.
