This is a large pot, 27cm in diameter, that can also be used as a steamer. The deep pot below is 13cm deep, and the steamer section in the middle is 11cm deep. When combined, the height is approximately 27cm excluding the knob, and the maximum width including the handles is 37cm. It's convenient as a deep pot or steamer, with a knob for steam regulation. The deep pot would be useful for boiling noodles, acting as a large pot. It was only used once for a test when purchased, and then stored unused due to a smaller household. There are some aluminum-specific stains on the bottom of the pot due to aging, but otherwise, it's in like-new condition. The price is as listed due to the large size and associated shipping costs.
