However, for foods  that are seasoned such as seafood, meats and tofu,  steam them in a heat-proof  shallow dish (such as a Pyrex pie plate) to  catch the flavorful and nutritious  juices.  The dish should be about 1  inch  smaller than the diameter of the steamer and the food should not  touch the  inside of the lid to allow steam to circulate freely around  the food for even  cooking.

Made from natural bamboo, a fast-growing alternative to traditional materials for more sustainable living, it is lightweight yet durable for reliable everyday use. Measuring 10 x 10 x 6.25-inches, the 2 stackable tiers with fitted lid turn a wok, wide saucepan, stockpot, Dutch oven, or deep skillet into a food steamer, allowing foods to hover above hot water so steam circulates evenly without direct contact. The lid helps contain steam inside to cook foods to perfection. Steaming preserves fresh textures, delicate flavors, nutrients, and natural moisture without added fats for authentic Asian cooking and everyday healthy meals. Natural bamboo helps absorb excess condensation to reduce soggy results while maintaining delicate texture. Ideal for preparing dumplings, bao buns, potstickers, siu mai (shumai), gyoza, sticky rice, jasmine rice, bok choy, broccoli, salmon, shrimp, chicken, tofu, tamales, edamame, and reheating leftovers, it also works beautifully for western favorites like vegetables, fish fillets, and warming bread. A long standing staple in Asian kitchens, the bamboo steamer carries forward practical design and steam cooking knowledge from one generation to the next. The 2 tiers stack together or may be used separately to prepare multiple dishes at once and serve directly in the steamer for authentic stovetop to table presentation. Wipe with a dry cloth or brush before first use, and after every use. Hand wash in warm, soapy water as needed. Works with Disposable Steamer Liners (#97019), Silicone Steamer Liners (#97162), and Steaming Ring (#97017) sold separately. Asian culinary expert, cookbook author, and cooking instructor Helen Chen developed Helen's Asian Kitchen to make authentic Asian cooking quick, easy, and approachable for home cooks. Her recipes and products draw inspiration from her frequent trips to Asia for business and family visits, bringing fresh ideas and trusted techniques into everyday kitchens.

In addition to being a sustainable material, bamboo is an effective steaming material because it traps steam, absorbs condensation, and retains heat. Here, the 100 percent natural bamboo slats are hand-woven into a layered cylindrical basket with a tightly constructed lid and secured with bamboo pegs. Tidy and attractive, the unit rests over a wok or, with a steaming ring, on a pot of boiling water to cook without fat or cumbersome equipment. Measuring 10 inches in diameter, the steamer is handcrafted, and detergent-free washing by hand is recommended. An instruction booklet with recipes is included. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003e--Emily Bedard\u003c\/span\u003e    \u003c\/p\u003e          \u003c\/div\u003e  \u003c!-- Used to set table width because AUI is overriding the width attribute of the tables coming in description --\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n        #productDescription h3 {\n            margin: 0.75em 0px 0.375em -1px;\n        }\n        \u003c\/style\u003e\n           \u003c\/div\u003e  ","brand":"CookWell","offers":[{"title":"Natural Bamboo \/ 4 inch","offer_id":46911068831941,"sku":null,"price":16.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural Bamboo \/ 6 inch","offer_id":46911068864709,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural Bamboo \/ 10 inch","offer_id":46911068897477,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural Bamboo \/ 12 inch","offer_id":46911068930245,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural Bamboo \/ 12 inch (Pack of 6)","offer_id":46911068963013,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/5376\/4293\/files\/71755SCB39L._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1789372082","url":"https:\/\/www.pureformwear.online\/products\/helens-asian-kitchen-bamboo-food-steamer-with-lid-100-natural-bamboo-basket-steamers-for-cooking-dumplings-dim-sum-veggies-fish-meat-preserve-nutrients-flavors-10-inch","provider":"CookWell","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
