## Description

Helen’s Asian Kitchen Bamboo Steamer is ideal for steam cooking foods. Made from 100-percent bamboo, it’s perfect for steaming vegetables, dumplings, dim sum, steamed bao, potstickers, eggs, meat, poultry, fish, seafood, desserts, and more. Steaming food helps retain fresh textures and flavors, and preserves precious nutrients. Easily turn almost any pan or stock pot into a vegetable steamer to make healthy meals with ease. The 2-tier design offers ample room for preparing a single or multiple servings. Unlike the boiling method, foods hover above the hot water to cook or reheat gently with steam to promote healthy cooking and retain more of the food’s fresh flavor and texture with higher levels of nutrients. No more leaching precious vitamins into the water to be discarded down the drain. The lid helps contain steam inside to cook foods to perfection. Made from bamboo, Helen Chen’s Steamer is sturdy, durable, safe for use with non-stick cookware. It’s lightweight and durable, easy to use and clean. Wipe with a dry cloth or brush before first use, and after every use. Hand wash in warm, soapy water as needed. Brought to you by HIC Harold Import Co.

Review: antique steamers worked well long ago and still work well today - Fish are a food which cook best in a steamer, especially salmon. Many vegetables cook well in steamers. Tough broccoli stems can first have their outer toughness peeled off and their softer inner core could then be cut up and steamed. Steamers often include a few separate steaming baskets for foods which require different steaming times. A steaming ring allows putting a large steamer on a smaller pot of boiling water. Inexpensive steamer basket liners are available to prevent certain foods from sticking to bamboo steamer baskets. Like any kitchen item made of wood such as bamboo steamers, wood cutting boards, utensils, etc., only handwashing is allowed, no dishwashers, to then completely towel dry them and an occasional oiling with walnut oil (which I use) or raw linseed oil, NOT boiled linseed oil, is advised. Steamers are also made of stainless steel, but stainless steel can be notorious for its stickiness, worse than bamboo.
Review: Very sturdy steamer basket. - I recently purchased Helen’s Asian Kitchen Bamboo Food Steamer, and I love it! It is made of high-quality bamboo, which not only looks beautiful but also feels sturdy and durable. I appreciate the craftsmanship that went into making this steamer. The two-tier design allows me to cook multiple items simultaneously, saving me time in the kitchen. Steaming retains and I've noticed that my dishes taste fresher when cooked in this steamer. I purchased the metal steamer ring separately which I am glad I did so because it ensures the basket will stay nice and sturdy on top of my pot. I just fill the bottom of a large pot with water, place the food in the bamboo baskets, and let the steam work its magic. The dumplings I made were cooked pretty quickly and did not stick to the bamboo. Considering the quality, versatility, and health benefits it offers, I believe this steamer is worth every penny!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen 10in Bamboo Steamer
*by J***E on October 3, 2016*

Received Helen Chen bamboo steamer very quickly. It appears to be crafted well. I put it into a pan of simmering water-it just fit, so no steam coming up the outside. I put salt in the water and sprinkled salt on the insides of the baskets. I put in a bit of ginger root and scallion, and found the steam came up quickly and did not leak from the woven top or the sides. A grassy odor was noticeable as I let the baskets steam, and the basin water became yellow from the steamed out grass sap, I'm guessing. Bamboo is a grass. I dumped out the water, and switched the baskets with another round of salt and steam. Less odor, less coloring of the basin water. Removed the baskets and separated to cool slightly. Then I carefully brushed olive oil on all the surfaces, inside, out, top bottom, sides. It soaked in pretty quickly. I wiped off any excess, and restacked. I think I will steam again without food to be sure the steam water is clear. As for the steam, it was gratifying to see a good steamy environment inside both tiers, and none obviously escaping the joins or the lid. I intend to use a cabbage leaf as lining as parchment paper has its own chemical problems. I'm planning to make steamed dumplings, and veggies. I may try tamales, too! The 10 inch is rather larger than I expected. It will more than suffice for 2 people.
