There should be enough water so that it touches the bottom of the steamer, if not the bamboo can burn against the pan

Nice vid, a tip, You can reuse parchment paper! I do it a lot.

Very cool! How do you clean the bamboo ? Just warm water and dish soap ? Thanks !

[RockyGem]

Just bought one that came today. Mine came with reusable silicone liners. How do you clean these?

[rickw]

Do you normally put both layers of the bamboo basket in there even if you are only using one layer?

[chumbenmurry]

Instead of using the wok to steam the veggies Try using a circular bowel, which should be almost the same diameter as the bamboo steamer, to get a better result.

Who remembers non-stop infomercials for the Bamboo Steamer back in the early 1980s?

Okay, is the cabbage traditionally eaten with the meal? Can I eat the cabbage, or do most people discard it after steaming?

[mitzara]

do you need to soak the steamer in water over night? i don't know i heard it somewhere

[anarebolledo]

Does the bamboo ever get burnt from being directly on the pan?

[chrisdiane]

I find mine works great now that I bought the ring that fits on top of your walk and then the steamer on top of that then it's not touching water and you get great steam they sell them 11 inch 13 inch I got the 11
inch we have vegetables every night more now because of the steamer

Have you used the bamboo steamer for meat like chicken breast?

[rrhodesrr]

I use banana leaves also. Prevents sticking

Sorry for the abrupt ending - my outro didn't work out as planned. Hope you enjoy and get yo bamboo steamer soon for all those veggies and dumplings!

[rellas]

Do you need to top up the water at all and do you think i could use a pan as i dont have a wok? 😊

[lenkiewitcz]

Do the different levels cook at different times, ie if i have veggies top and bottom which is very likely.

[KevinLopez-hfuk]

Do you think that if I put 4 layers of bamboo steamer at the time the food will cook evenly?

[crystalsalton]

Did you ever find the reusable liners? If so where?

[mikey]

Silicone liners are very good my soup dumplings don’t stick!!

[PiccoloMichelaChannel]

Doesn’t everything tastes like cabbage when you use cabbage liner? Just a question
