Helen’s Asian Kitchen Bamboo Food Steamer with Lid, 10-Inch

Description

Helen’s Asian Kitchen Bamboo Steamer is ideal for steam
cooking foods. Made from 100-percent all-natural bamboo, it’s perfect for
steaming vegetables, dumplings, dim sum, steamed bao, potstickers, eggs, meat,
poultry, fish, seafood, desserts, and more. Steaming food helps retain fresh
textures and flavors, and preserves precious nutrients. Easily turn almost any
pan or stock pot into a vegetable steamer to make healthy meals with ease. The
2-tier design offers ample room for preparing a single or multiple servings.
Unlike the boiling method, foods hover above the hot water to cook or reheat
gently with steam to promote healthy cooking and retain more of the food’s
fresh flavor and texture with higher levels of nutrients. No more leaching
precious vitamins into the water to be discarded down the drain. The lid helps
contain steam inside to cook foods to perfection. Made from all-natural
bamboo, Helen Chen’s Steamer is sturdy, durable, safe for use with non-stick
cookware. Bamboo is a fast-growing alternative to traditional materials for
more sustainable living practices. It’s lightweight and durable, easy to use
and clean. Wipe with a dry cloth or brush before first use, and after every
use. Hand wash in warm, soapy water as needed. To help keep Steamer cleaner
and prevent foods from sticking, use Helen’s Asian Kitchen Steamer Liners
(97019) sold separately. Brought to you by HIC Harold Import Co.
An authentic tool for steaming vegetables and meats or serving dim sum at the
table, this steamer from Helen Chen’s Asian Kitchen line is crafted from
tightly woven bamboo. In addition to being a sustainable material, bamboo is
an effective steaming material because it traps steam, absorbs condensation,
and retains heat. Here, the 100 percent natural bamboo slats are hand-woven
into a layered cylindrical basket with a tightly constructed lid and secured
with bamboo pegs. Tidy and attractive, the unit rests over a wok or, with a
steaming ring, on a pot of boiling water to cook without fat or cumbersome
equipment. Measuring 10 inches in diameter, the steamer is handcrafted, and
detergent-free washing by hand is recommended. An instruction booklet with
recipes is included. –Emily Bedard
