Comments: A bamboo steamer provides an easy and healthy way to cook an entire meal at one time. Its equipped with a slatted bottom to circulate steam effectively and a woven lid that lets the steam escape and prevents condensation. When buying a steamer, choose one of the heavier models. To remove the bamboo scent, soak it in water for 15 minutes, then allow it to dry. Keep your steamer away from stovetop flames, and store it in a light, airy place so it doesnt mildew.
