Bamboo Steamer 12" 3 pc set

Helen's Asian Kitchen Bamboo Food Steamer With Lid is a traditional 2-tier bamboo steamer basket designed for gentle steam cooking and reheating at home. 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 12 x 12 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) and Silicone Steamer Liners (#97162) sold separately.
