Product DescriptionHelen s Asian Kitchen Bamboo Steamer is ideal for steam cooking foods. Made from 100-percent all-natural 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 all-natural bamboo, Helen Chen s Steamer is sturdy, durable, safe for use with non-stick cookware. Bamboo is a fast-growing alternative to traditional materials for more sustainable living practices. 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. To help keep Steamer cleaner and prevent foods from sticking, use Helen s Asian Kitchen Steamer Liners (#97019) sold separately. Brought to you by HIC Harold Import Co.Amazon.comAn authentic tool for steaming vegetables and meats or serving dim sum at the table, this steamer from Helen Chen's Asian Kitchen line is crafted from tightly woven bamboo. In addition to being a sustainable material, bamboo is an effective steaming material because it traps steam, absorbs condensation, and retains heat. Here, the 100 percent natural bamboo slats are hand-woven into a layered cylindrical basket with a tightly constructed lid and secured with bamboo pegs. Tidy and attractive, the unit rests over a wok or, with a steaming ring, on a pot of boiling water to cook without fat or cumbersome equipment. Measuring 10 inches in diameter, the steamer is handcrafted, and detergent-free washing by hand is recommended. An instruction booklet with recipes is included.--Emily Bedard
