i love this bamboo steamer. i have diabetes and cholesterol and was put on a very strict diet. my nutritionist recommended i get one of these to make my meals in. it is the best!! the only thing i advise anyone getting it is to buy the inserts that come separately to line each tray. the only thing wrong with mine is the size (but it was my fault i got it way too big). other than that i love it. meals are made so quickly, easily and there is absolutely NO FAT involved.

Helen's Asian Kitchen's natural 12 inch bamboo steamer is handmade and securely assembled with bamboo pegs and bamboo lacing.Unlike wood, bamboo is a grass, so it's a renewable and sustainable resource.A bamboo steamer is designed to sit over another pot containing boiling water (specially designed steaming rings make it easy to steam on 11 inch or 13 inch diameter stockpots).As the water boils, the steam enters the steamer through the open slats in the bottom and is contained in the steamer by the lid.The bamboo steamer 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.The 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, and they retain vitamins and minerals and cook quickly and evenly.

This bamboo steamer is just the right size if you like to steam large quantities of food. I had a 10 inch steamer for many years and it finally wore out. I decided to get the next size and I'm happy I did.

For healthy, flavorful cooking at home, turn to this three-piece bamboo steamer. Measuring 12 inches in diameter by about 6-2/7 inches high, it can accommodate a whole meal--place chicken and potatoes on one level and a medley of broccoli, zucchini, and bok choy on the other. Its dual-level design makes it possible to steam twice as much at the same time as a traditional steamer. Simply arrange any assortment of food on one or both tiers, cover with the double-woven bamboo lid, set the steamer in a wok or over a sauce pan that has a little water in it, and heat the water.
Steam cooking does not require the use of any oil or butter, which allows for low-fat healthy options, plus it preserves more vitamins and nutrients than other cooking methods. Made of naturally sustainable bamboo, the steamer will not swell, split, or absorb moisture, and it effectively retains heat to ensure a flavorful, evenly cooked meal. The lower level of the steamer will cook food more quickly, so use it for larger items; the top tier works well for vegetables or smaller pieces that require less cooking time. The bamboo steamer offers a great way to cook and serve Asian-inspired foods with authentic flair, and it should be hand washed and dried thoroughly.

Norpro Deluxe 3-Piece Bamboo Steamer Set Review

For healthy, nutritional, quick, low mess cooking, make almost any dish with a steamer. This steamer is mid range in terms of quality of material and build. It isn't the El Cheapo department store variety that is held together with metal staples, bound to end up in the trash can after several uses. With proper care, this steamer should last you several years. Soak the new steamer in cold water for a few hours when you first get it. Always store in an open air place to prevent mildew. Clean up is a breeze, just wipe with a paper towel, or if needed a quick dunk in soapy water and then rinse.
Steamers fit best on woks that are 2 inches larger than the steamer, therefore, a 12 inch wok would work best with this steamer. Other than the recipe on the side of the box, there is nothing in the box other than the steamer. You can cook or reheat your food by placing it directly on the bamboo, paper towel, leaves, parchment paper or by placing it on a heat resistant plate or in a bowl. Also, you can add or remove steamer layers while cooking. For even quicker food prep, if you're having noodles with the meal, you can cook them in the water in the bottom of the wok - a one pan meal.Steaming is truly quick and efficient cooking at its best.

Steaming enhances natural flavors while retaining valuable vitamins and nutrients.Steamed foods are self basting, so moisture is retained.A clean, quick and economical method of cooking.The lowest tier for meat or fish; side dishes and vegetables in the upper tier.
