Bamboo Steamer

This is a traditional bamboo steamer, a versatile cooking tool widely used in Asian cuisine. Crafted from woven bamboo, it typically consists of one or more stackable tiers and a lid.  The porous nature of bamboo allows steam to circulate effectively while also absorbing excess moisture, preventing condensation from dripping onto the food and resulting in soggy dishes.  This gentle steaming method helps to preserve the natural flavors, nutrients, and textures of a variety of foods, including dumplings, vegetables, fish, rice, and more.  Bamboo steamers are often placed over a pot or wok filled with simmering water to create steam.  They are a healthy and eco-friendly cooking option
