How to use a bamboo steamer ?
When you’re ready to use a bamboo steamer, pre-clean it with some soap and water. Wipe dry with a towel. For meat, seafood or saucy dish, use a heat-proof dish to contain the ingredients, before putting into the steamer basket. For vegetables, buns or dumplings, placing one or a few pieces of broad-leaf vegetable at the bottom of the steamer basket, before placing the food to be steamed. The whole steamer basket can then go in a wok of boiling water for steam cooking. You can steam cook using more than a steamer basket at the same time. Just alternate the positions of the stacking at about half-way for even cooking.
