Bamboo Steamer Basket – 2 Tier with Lid

A traditional 2-tier bamboo steamer with a woven lid. Steam dumplings, bao buns, fish, greens and sticky rice at the same time, then bring it straight to the table.

Why bamboo

• Gentle, even steam. The woven lid lets excess steam out, so food doesn't sit in condensation and go soggy.
• Two tiers, one pan of water. Cook fish on the bottom and vegetables on top.
• Natural material. Bamboo, with no coatings.

Which size?

• 21cm: a good everyday size for 1–2 people. Sits inside a 30–32cm wok.
• 26cm: for 2–4 people or larger pieces of fish. Sits inside a 32cm+ wok or over a wide pan.

How to use

1. Rinse and soak in cold water for 10 minutes before first use.
2. Add 3–4cm of water to your wok and bring it to a simmer. The water should sit below the base of the steamer.
3. Line each tier with baking paper or a cabbage leaf so food doesn't stick, add your food and cover.
4. Top up with boiling water if steaming for longer than 20 minutes.

Hand wash with warm water only and air dry fully before storing. Not dishwasher safe.
