Bamboo Steamer Basket Set with Lid, 15.88″

Description

The Paderno 15 7/8″ bamboo steamer set includes 2 dishes and a cover. The dishes stack on top of each other and the cover tops them off. The dishes are placed on top of a steaming receptacle and the contents of both dishes are cooked simultaneously. The steam from the bottom pot rises, permeating the fibers of the bamboo. Items such as dumplings are traditionally cooked in these steamers. When the food is done being steamed it can be served in these same dishes. The steamer is a cooking element commonly found in Asian cuisine.

How to use the steamer

• You place the steamer basket on top of a pan in which water boils. As the steam rises, the contents of both dishes are cooked at the same time.
• After cooking, the steamer dishes can be used to serve the food directly at the table.
• The lid of the steamer is equipped with a small hook to make it easier to hold and avoid burning your hands.
