I've seen it on a "As sold on TV" shelf. Except for the wire handle, it's no
different from a dozen others sold as "asparagus steamers", except that it's
body is lighter gauge than the one I own, wihih came from Williams-Sonoma.

FWIW, I find the asparagus steamer to be next to worthless. It's a one-trick
pony, and there are so many other ways to accomplish the same task.

IMO, for the fourth burner, a tall, slim 2-qt. pot such as those sold by All
Clad is much more useful.
