Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinox Gourmet 16 Quart Cous Cous Pot
Customer Review: Wonderful couscousierre
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this along with the Moroccan Moroccan Modern cookbook and followed the cous cous recipe exactly. The cous cous was light and fluffy and did not clump even after it cooled. Amazing. The pot fits tightly to the base which forces the steam upwards through the cous cous (which is what you want). One trick with any couscousierre is is to put a layer of cheese cloth between the couscousierre base and the perforated top (not inside where the cous cous is). This makes a "gasket" between the two pieces which forces the steam upwards through the cous cous instead of escaping around the edges of the two pieces, and also acts as a secondary "strainer" to keep small grain cous cous from dropping down into the water. . The recipe in moroccan modern has a couple of steps in which the cous cous is removed from the perforated steamer top and additional water added, soaked, crumbled by hand to rid it of lumps, returned to steamer, repeat. Great recipe and this cous cous cooker could be used double duty as a steamer for veggies etc. The pot measures 8.25 inches tall. The combined insert and pot height is 11.75 inches tall. With the lid inverted on top (for storage) the height is 12.5 inches. The height to the top of the handle on the lid (cooking height) is a little under 14 inches. If you do not have 14 inches of height above your stove, the pot will be too tall to use. Cous cous however, is steamed uncovered unless you're cooking a tagine style stew in the bottom half of the couscousierre while you steam cous cous in the top (yummy). This is a TALL pot. I have plenty of height, but even with the available space, I have to slide it near the front of the stove to have full access to the inside of the perforated section. Just for awareness, measure first....cut once..... also, this pot, per the box, can be used on ANY cooking surface, gas, electric, radiant, induction etc. It has them all and is dishwasher safe. Love this cous cous cooker.
