This week’s gadget a classic cookware in Asian cultures—the bamboo steamer.
What’s so special about this bamboo steamer? Well, for starters, this hand-made Chinese design dual steamer traps steam and has a high bottom which keeps vegetables from sitting in water. I love it also because it also holds a lot of food and cooks in less time than the traditional metal pots.
Bamboo steamers absorb moisture, prevent condensation and retain heat after cooking. There are several different sizes of bamboo steamers and they can be purchased at any Asian grocery store, online, or kitchen/department stores. Currently, Amazon.com has the Joyce Chen Bamboo Steamer available for just $9.95!
