Description:

Joyce Chen's slogan "Eastern Cookware for the Western Kitchen," reflects her focus on providing high-quality, versatile tools and products that have Asian flair, but can be used in a western kitchen. This 6" Bamboo Steamer has two tiers to enable you to steam twice as much at the same time as a traditional steamer. On the lower level where the steam is more direct place your heavier vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or cauliflower. On the upper level place items that cook quicker like broccoli, zucchini, and asparagus. Steaming is a healthy, delicious cooking method -- adding no fat or grease while bringing out food's natural flavor. The perfect addition for any kitchen Bamboo will not swell, split, or absorb moisture. Bamboo is a grass - not wood - and an abundant renewable resource, so each time you use a bamboo kitchen tool, you may save the life of a beautiful tree. Bamboo is stronger than wood, dishwasher safe and will not scratch even your finest cookware. Good cooks everywhere will tell you that the proper accessories can make the difference between a cooking success and disaster. Joyce Chen opened her first restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1958. The restaurant flourished, and in 1973 a larger Cambridge restaurant was opened. Chen also began writing Chinese cookbooks and in the 1970s began hosting a cooking show on public television. She found that the selection and quality of Chinese cookware in America didn't live up to her high standards¿ so she developed her own. Today, Joyce Chen Products come from all over the Pacific Rim to bring the best of Asia to you.

Works well, but gets grungy easily Mar 08, 2004
By Stefohnee "stef"
This steamer is great for dumplings and vegetables, though its shape makes it difficult to tell how much water is left in the pot you're steaming it over, and the bamboo comes into contact with very hot pans, producing a slight smoky smell sometimes. The more you use it, the more the bamboo will relax with age. My only real problem with this steamer is that it's somewhat small (6" diameter), but I couldn't find a larger one.

Try it for steaming vegetables, fish, or even rice. Inexpensive, but well-made.

Very Puzzled & Disappointed Oct 02, 2006
By H. Noble "100% Tartan"
I purchased this item as a filler. I have two steamers already that are 5+ yrs old. First of all i found this item to be smaller than i expected. Secondly, i washed this item as instructed and left it out to air dry (as i do with my others without any problems), on the second day i noticed some dark blemishes on the underside. These eventually turned into numberous dark spots on the underside on both basket parts of the steamer. I have never experienced this before! They were deep into the bamboo, this item had just been steamed then washed in very hot water and allowed to air dry... i have no idea how this happened? I used one of my others at the same time and it never developed this problem. I returned the item to Amazon.

Excellent Product Apr 09, 2009
By David S. Schwarz "DSS"
This is an excellent bamboo steamer when you want to steam just a small quantity of food. Since it is small, you only need a small pan of water to generate the steam. I use it for thawing and cooking frozen and/or fresh vegetables. Quality and construction of the steamer is excellent

I may be doing something wrong Jul 20, 2010
By Nanny Groskopf "Nanny"
It sticks your dumblings all over, when you try to remove them after steam they are undercook on top and sticky and glue to the bottom. It may be a good product if you know what you are doing. I even watch videos online and is just not working for me.

a good bamboo steamer Sep 11, 2007
By Eugene F. Pooler
This bamboo steamer is well-made and easy to clean and so far does not twist much in the drying.
