7" Bamboo Steamer BASE 7寸蒸籠

Description: 7" Bamboo Steamer BASE 7寸蒸籠 — this listing is for the bamboo steamer base only; the matching 7" lid is sold separately. The base is the tier the food sits in: line it, stack it and set it over a wok or pan of simmering water to steam dim sum, buns, dumplings and vegetables the traditional way. Bamboo breathes as it steams, so less condensation drips onto your food than with a metal steamer. At 7 inches it holds a portion of dumplings or a couple of buns, and you can stack two bases under one lid for a double tier.

Tuk Tuk Method: Line the base with baking paper, cabbage leaves or a steamer liner so nothing sticks. Set over simmering water — the water should not touch the food — and steam siu mai, har gow, char siu bao or greens. No need to soak the steamer first; just rinse it after use.

Storage: Rinse with warm water (no detergent needed), air-dry completely, then store in a dry, ventilated place.
