Asian Bamboo Food Steamer with Lid, 10-Inch

Helen's Asian Kitchen Bamboo Steamer is an ideal tool for steam cooking a variety of foods. Crafted from 100-percent all-natural bamboo, this steamer is perfect for steaming vegetables, dumplings, dim sum, steamed bao, potstickers, eggs, meat, poultry, fish, seafood, and desserts. The steaming process helps retain the fresh textures and flavors of the food, while preserving its precious nutrients.

This versatile steamer allows you to easily turn almost any pan or stock pot into a vegetable steamer, making it easy to prepare healthy meals. The 2-tier design provides ample space for cooking single or multiple servings. Unlike the boiling method, the foods hover above the hot water, gently cooking or reheating with steam. This gentle cooking process helps promote healthy cooking and retains more of the food's fresh flavor and texture, with higher levels of nutrients.

Made from all-natural bamboo, a fast-growing and sustainable material, the steamer is sturdy, durable, and safe for use with non-stick cookware. Bamboo is a lightweight and durable material, making the steamer easy to use and clean. Simply wipe it with a dry cloth or brush before and after use, and hand wash in warm, soapy water as needed.

To help keep the steamer clean and prevent foods from sticking, Helen's Asian Kitchen Steamer Liners (#97019) can be used, sold separately. This authentic steaming tool, part of the Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen line, is crafted from tightly woven bamboo, which is an effective material for trapping steam, absorbing condensation, and retaining heat.

Measuring 10 inches in diameter, the steamer is handcrafted and detergent-free washing by hand is recommended. An instruction booklet with recipes is included, allowing you to explore the art of steam cooking and enjoy the fresh flavors and textures of your meals.
