Working Principles & Steaming Tips

Bamboo Steamer Basket Set tips and guides
Steaming is a traditional and simple cooking method. This bamboo steamer is designed to sit over a pot of boiling water. As the water boils, steam rises through the open slats in the bottom of the steamer and is contained by the lid. The steamer absorbs condensation, preventing water from dripping back onto the food. When heated, it forms a hot container that can keep food warm for up to half an hour with the cover in place. For dry foods like dim sum, line the bottom with paper liners or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. For seafood, meats, and tofu, use a heat-proof shallow dish to catch flavorful and nutritious juices.

Usage Suggestions:

Line steamers with paper liners or cabbage leaves for easier clean-up
Pack the steamer with your favorite foods, such as dim sum, dumplings, buns, vegetables, seafood, meat, and rice. Stack the steamer with the lid on
Bring water to a simmer in a pan or wok. Place the steamer into the pan or wok after the water boils
Steam for 10-20 minutes depending on the type of food, then enjoy your meal

Cleaning and Maintenance:

To remove the natural bamboo smell, use a cloth soaked in a mixture of half a cup of vinegar and one gallon of hot water. Wipe the steamer with the cloth and repeat until clean, then rinse with clean water and wipe again
Hand wash with soap and warm water for extended life. Not dishwasher safe
Clean food residue thoroughly during cleaning
Air dry completely after washing and store in a cool, dry place
Avoid excessive drying to prevent cracking. If not used often, boil the steamer with water for a while and let it air dry
Do not soak the steamer in water for long periods
Do not seal the steamer in plastic to prevent condensation
Do not store other cookware on top to prevent cracking
Never use abrasive detergents that may damage the bamboo surface
