Helen's Asian Kitchen Bamboo Food Steamer with Lid - 100% Natural Bamboo - Basket Steamers for Cooking Dumplings, Dim Sum, Veggies, Fish, Meat - Preserve Nutrients & Flavors - 10-Inch

Wife loves these and wears them out.

Good steamer. Gets the job done.

This was a gift for our son-in-law and the first thing they steamed was soup dumplings and they were delicious! Great capacity for two! Cleaned up nicely! Easy to use!

The steamer is a lovely addition to our kitchen. It's well-crafted from 100% natural bamboo and feels sturdy and authentic. The 10-inch size is perfect for steaming dumplings, buns, and veggies for a family meal, and it fits nicely over my standard pots and woks.

I recently purchased Helen’s Asian Kitchen Bamboo Food Steamer, and I love it!It is made of high-quality bamboo, which not only looks beautiful but also feels sturdy and durable. I appreciate the craftsmanship that went into making this steamer. The two-tier design allows me to cook multiple items simultaneously, saving me time in the kitchen. Steaming retains and I've noticed that my dishes taste fresher when cooked in this steamer.I purchased the metal steamer ring separately which I am glad I did so because it ensures the basket will stay nice and sturdy on top of my pot. I just fill the bottom of a large pot with water, place the food in the bamboo baskets, and let the steam work its magic. The dumplings I made were cooked pretty quickly and did not stick to the bamboo. Considering the quality, versatility, and health benefits it offers, I believe this steamer is worth every penny!

I have kids and they love eating dumplings as their favorite food, but I've always been pan frying. To make it healthier I got these and was able to cook a lot more dumplings at a time. Now we're cooking buns and soup dumplings as well. Saturday morning dim sum with the bamboo steamers has become a tradition now with the kids. I don't regret my purchase one bit.

I like the steamer. It has enough surface to steam fish or a lot of dumplings. The problem I have is one of the steamer baskets came apart after 2 uses.I will update if/when the manufacturer responds to this review

I had a pair of these baskets and wanted more to be able to have on hand. Not actually just having on hand but actually using the additional pair frequently. Most veggies require different cooking times, even if just a minute or two, and having enough trays on hand makes the choir easier. One can stack them about five high and still cook food on the top completely. Eating vegetables raw is the most healthful way to consume them but if one wants his/her greens cooked steaming seems to be the most healthful way to cook veggies. Some veggies just seem to need to be cooked. Most cook quickly with steam and will retain their flavor well if not overcooked. Also they tend to not be soggy and unflavorable like those cooked in boiling water.With some protection under the trays they can be carried directly to the table from the stove. I always use either a plate or serving dish under the trays and this way the furniture is protected and the person carrying the trays is also safer. Though not as attractive as fine crystal or china the bamboo is not unattractive. To retain the heat the lid can be kept on. The veggies seem to stay warm for 15-20 minutes this way. Do use caution; they do tend to retain some of the steam and it can be easy to see how someone could get a serious burn.One other thing to remember with bamboo is not to use soap. It tends to retain flavors and Dawn is not very tasteful. The next time you cook with them the taste of soap will transfer to the food.I have found that with proper care the trays will have a useful service life of a few years and the investment is well worth the money.
