This small bamboo steamer set is 5.5"w x 3"h in size and is made of natural bamboo. The small bamboo steamer set comes with 2 pieces. A bamboo bottom for steaming and one bamboo top lid cover. There is even two small handle on the side of the bamboo steamer so you can lift up the small bamboo steamer easily.

The bamboo steamers are usually used inside a wok (be sure your wok is about 2" wider than the bamboo steamer baskets) but can also be set over a stockpot containing boiling water. As the water boils, steam enters the bamboo steamer through the open slats in the bottom and is contained in the bamboo steamer by the lid.

Bamboo naturally absorbs any condensation, keeping water from dripping back onto the food. When heated, it forms a hot container and, with the cover in place, can keep food warm for up to half an hour. A bamboo steamer is also an attractive serving  piece and may be brought right to the table. Foods that are steamed require little or no added oils or fats, cook quickly and evenly and retain most of their vitamins and minerals. Steam delicious Chinese dim sums, dumplings, vegetables, fish, and more with this bamboo steamer!
