Bamboo steamer

A bamboo steamer is a traditional kitchen tool used for cooking food gently with steam. Made from bamboo slats that form a round, ventilated basket, it allows hot steam to circulate evenly, preserving flavors, nutrients, and textures. Typically placed over a pot of boiling water, it’s ideal for steaming delicate items like dumplings, vegetables, and fish. The natural bamboo material absorbs excess moisture and prevents sticking, making it a versatile and eco-friendly option for healthy, flavorful cooking. Its collapsible design also makes it easy to store when not in use.
