Non Food Bamboo steamer 20 cm

✨ Bamboo steamer (20 cm) for gentle, aromatic steaming

A bamboo steamer is a simple tool that helps you cook with steam—keeping food tender, juicy, and full of natural flavour. This 20 cm steamer is a handy size for everyday portions, from dumplings and buns to vegetables and fish.

Place it over a pot or wok of simmering water, line the basket to prevent sticking, and let the steam do the work. Bamboo also helps absorb excess condensation, so foods like bao and dim sum stay pleasantly fluffy instead of soggy.

✅ Key features

• Gentle steaming keeps textures delicate—ideal for dumplings, buns, and greens
• Bamboo helps manage moisture, reducing dripping condensation onto your food
• 20 cm size suits smaller pots and quick batches without taking over your hob
• Best results with a liner (parchment, cabbage leaves, or a steamer paper) to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier
• Great for reheating: steam rice, noodles, or pastries to refresh them without drying out

🍽️ How to use

• Steam dumplings or gyoza: line the base, leave space between pieces, and cover with the lid while steaming
• Make fluffy bao: keep the water at a steady simmer so the steam stays consistent
• Steam vegetables until just tender, then finish with soy sauce, sesame oil, or chilli crisp
• Reheat leftover rice or noodles by steaming briefly to bring back softness
• Try fish fillets with ginger and spring onion—steam, then drizzle with hot oil and soy for a classic serving

✨ Final touch

Did you know bamboo steamers can help keep steamed buns and dumplings from turning soggy by absorbing some excess moisture during cooking?
