Bamboo Steamer Basket - Cook Delicious Meals with Authentic Flavor at Home

Good piece of kitchen-ware that needs care like any good tool. Took some youtube advice and bathed my basket in boiling water to clean off any residues from the factory, baked it in an oven at 200 degree farenheit to dry, then apply food safe oil to season while still warm. finally used it today and made fish, dumplings and cauliflower. No 'off' taste and the liners worked well. the little dish included is nice for dipping sauces. did have some splinters but those have been getting knocked off easily without affecting the structure

Good quality and thoughtful usage instructions

30 years ago from as seen on tv I got the hand hammered wok gadget that came with a bamboo steamer. Best purchase utensil wise I ever made, this year it started to unravel the time had come to get a new one (30 years, was worth it) This new one is of an impeccable design, it seems to be put together in a stronger fashion than my previous one. It also fits in my old wok (which I use almost daily anymore). I have also learned over the years that bamboo steamers can be as fast as a microwave, and even better? FOOD stays HOT twice as long. I've even learned how to boil pasta while I steam veggies. Then take the container set it aside and use the wok for steak/chicken uncle bob...(kidding) and the whole meal comes out phenomenally! I've learned how to with the steamer and a wok prepare a meal like from a Japanese steak house such as Kobe's or Arigatos, (I know this is about the steamer but 1 thing about the wok? It's about the best damn popcorn popper I've ever used!) Foods are fresher and have a bright color to them. I knew it was time for a new Steamer, I wish I would have done it sooner. (for those who don't know Microwaves are only flash steamers, it evaporates water molecules which is why breads always come out like styrofoam, the Bamboo steamer uses nature not electronic beams and it does make a difference) For those interested in eating healthier start with a Bamboo Steamer and a real wok (not flat bottomed)

Well made,great size and maintains shape

I'm usually a one-pan kind of cook, but lately, I've been on a dim sum kick, and let me tell you, this bamboo steamer has become my new kitchen bestie. It's the perfect size for my wok, and the two tiers let me steam up a feast of dumplings, veggies, and even fluffy little bao buns all at once. No more waiting around for batches to finish! Speaking of feasts, this steamer saved the day when my in-laws came over for a surprise visit. I whipped up a spread of steamed shrimp and har gow, and let me tell you, they were gone in a flash. Everyone raved about how perfectly cooked and juicy everything was. Bonus points for the included liners and chopsticks – it felt like a complete dim sum kit! Now, I'm not a Michelin-starred chef, but this steamer makes me feel like one. It's easy to use, cleans up in a breeze, and adds a touch of Zen to my kitchen counter. If you're looking for a healthy and fun way to cook up some deliciousness, I highly recommend giving this bamboo steamer a try. You won't be disappointed!

My steam came exactly as described. It is very well made and sturdy, as evidenced by my photos. It is a very pretty yellow bamboo color and the construction detail is excellent. Both of the steamer sections ore interchangeable, making it very easy to use, not having to worry which section goes on top. The sections have a large enough capacity size To make it very easy to steam different types of food at one time (dumplings & veggies). The steamer was well-packaged and did not have any “dings or bruises” except for the natural imperfections of the bamboo wood. When I unwrapped the steamer it was covered with a fine dusty residue, but it was easily washed off with warm soapy water and then air dried. I look forward to many steamed dishes using my bamboo steamer.

Love it. Well made but doesn't come with a stainless steel ring to rest it on the pot. Comes with parsons paper, chops sticks and a ramekin.

Just what I needed

Very good quality and I recommend it to everyone

Product (pot) cover came broken. I want a refund

This steamer is easy to use and clean. It steams the veggies perfectly and creates no smell from cauliflower or broccoli. I recommend it to all buyers.

Steaming anything and everything. Great

It is really great product for steaming! The ceramic sauce dish and steamer liners delivered together are really awesome gift! We all like it!
