Happy Sales , Three Piece 8 Inch Bamboo Steamer

I have used this steamer for over a year now. I was new to steamers and had to do some research on how to use them. I use it by perching it on top of a pot that has a wide turned-out lip with the same diameter as this steamer. So I put about an inch-deep worth of water in the pot, perch this on top with the veggies in it. As soon as the water starts boiling with the steam rising from it, I start timing it. I typically keep the veggies a little crunchy, not let them get soggy. Most veggies such as broccoli cook in about 5 minutes. Some, like carrots, take closer to 8 minutes.The result is typically superb. The vents work very well and steam the veggies through and through. The natural bamboo lends a slight woody fragrance to the food. If you wash the steamer right away, and sit it on the dish drainer, it is easy to keep clean. I avoid using a dish scrub as the foam or scrubbing pad pieces can get caught in the bamboo. Instead, I use a plastic brush that I also use for my daughter's milk bottles.  Philips AVENT BPA-Free Bottle Brush . It works well to get any bits of broccoli/veggie out of the natural striations or splints in the bamboo, and cleans it with the least amount of effort.It looks very elegant too, and I have gifted it to a couple of my health conscious friends since I started using it.***

This is the best way to cook hands down. First meal made fish, crab claws and various vegetables. Not only was it super easy to use. But the food taste awesome as well. What's not to love. Eat healthy, and do it with easy and save a lot of time. Also easy to clean as well. Highly recommend this product for anyone. Great quality and performance.

I love the way the veggies cook and taste in this! Recommending to everyone. It's easy to use, easy to clean. My only negative is that for some reason the instructions said to keep it in a bag, but that made it moldy, even though I was sure it was completely dry when I put it away. (I washed it thoroughly and let it completely dry in the sun after that mold incident, and it's perfect again.) I'll have to research and experiment with the best way(s) to store it. But for steaming two or three kinds of vegetables, nothing I've tried compares. The bamboo itself seems to lend a kind of herbal flavor, and the veggies just come out uniformly and perfectly done. I haven't yet tried anything else in it, like fish, but I will. The price is right, you could easily and inexpensively even add more layers, and it's so much easier to serve out of and to clean than the aluminum folding kind I had. You just need a pot or pan (or wok) large enough to hold a bit of water and set the steamer in. Get one!

Anyone who spends their $15 will be pleasantly surprised at this miniature bamboo steamer set.Using my Sample Amazon Prime, my 2 day package arrived just now, Sunday noon, delivered by the post office.I'm intrigued at the craftsmanship involved in just a few twists of bamboo, with cleverly designed racks and bindings.The 6 inch unit is gonna be good for steaming for one guy, like bowls of rice, veggies, and poached eggs, just to name a few.I think I'll step up in diameter next time I buy.Other commenters have mentioned poor workmanship. Perhaps hand made stuff like this varies from time to time, but I'm pleased with the strength of mine.Bamboo really is a miracle material for many building purposes.

I never had a bamboo steamer but have recently read how steamers help broccoli retain the compounds necessary to form a cancer-fighting compound. It's a complicated question (steaming vs. microwaving vs boiling in water) but since I love broccoli, I figured I may as well get the most benefit from the vegetable. I love this bamboo steamer because it's compact, I can use either one or two of the trays, and it cleans up easily (as recommended, I use a little bit of parchment paper to keep the food off the bamboo). I've also steamed cauliflower and asparagus. For the asparagus, I cut the spears in half and put the woodier stalks in the bottom tray and the thinner tops in the top tray and it turned out perfectly. I haven't tried more esoteric steaming, such as shrimp, clams, or turkey burgers, but who knows, I may get motivated to do so soon! I love the size--perfect for 1-2 people. If you cook for a large family, it may be a bit small depending on how much they like their veggies!

I Love the Bamboo steamer, when I first got it I looked at it and didn't think it would work at all, but I tried it with chicken breasts and to my amazement the chicken was some of the best chicken I have ever eaten or made, it was super tender and juicy, steaming makes the food soo much better, even my frozen veggies are amazing steamed. The only negative thing is that it didn't come with instructions or how long to cook what, I had to look up how long to cook my food online but it wasnt that much of a burden. If you haven't used this before you really should!P.S I really have never cooked before so it is easy for people who arent that experienced in the kitchen :)

Over the past couple of years, I have read a great deal of research on the harmful effects of modern day cookware. As a result, I have purchased items such as this bamboo steamer because it is a natural cookware. The first time I used a bamboo steamer, 3-4 dinners of steam vegetables imparted a somewhat bitter wood-like taste on the vegetables. Thus, I would recommend several cycles (~3-4) of pre-soaking the steamer and boiling water underneath it without placing food within it in order to help remove some of the bitter wood-like taste that may leech into your food. Once this has been removed the steamer works wonderfully and the steamed vegetables taste great!

Size is smaller than described and does not work with pots.

I've had one for years and it finally gave up so I bought another one and this one should last many years as the first one. I would recommend this one to anyone.
