What is Bamboo Steamer?
Bamboo Steamer
Bamboo steamer is a kitchen classic and it has
been used by the Chinese for over a thousand
years. They fit on top of a pot or in a wok above
boiling water or other liquid. Because they are
usually fairly big and can be
stacked up to as high as five layers, they are convenient for
steaming large amounts of foods and for steaming
different foods at once.
Many
forms of dim sum, dumplings and pastries are
steamed using bamboo steamer.
Why Bamboo Steamer?
Compared with food cooked by other methods,
steamed dishes are more subtle in taste. Not
only steaming retains the taste of the
ingredients, but also its vitamins and
nutrients. Steamed food is particularly favored
by the middle-ages.
Think of the steamer not only as a cooking tool,
but as a serving piece that can be brought with
a flourish straight from the stove to the table.
