What is bamboo Steamer?

Bamboo steamers consist of interlocking baskets that stack on top of each other, with a lid on top. They are produced by removing the skin from the bamboo, soaking it in water, shaping it into a circle, and hammering it in with nails. The base is made up of woven bamboo strips, and production can take anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours depending on its size.

How to use bamboo steamer?

First: -Put bamboo steamer into wide pan (frying pan is ok) or a pot (Saucepan).

-Pour water into the pan. The water must come up high enough to submerge the bottom rim of the steamer in water and prevent it from scorching, but also be low enough so that the bubbling water does not touch the bottom of the inside bed of the steamer and the food sitting on it.

Note: you should check the size of bamboo steamer and then choose suitable pan for it.

Second: You will need something to line it with to prevent the food from sticking to the bamboo. You can also get round, perforated parchment paper liners made specifically for bamboo steamers, or even better, reusable cloth or silicone liners.
