How to Cook Veggies in a Bamboo Steamer

[@DanielBillingslea313]

There should be enough water so that it touches the bottom of the steamer, if not the bamboo can burn against the pan

[@The__Gent]

So that's why her wok is black as tar.

[@chumbenmurry9681]

Instead of using the wok to steam the veggies Try using a circular bowel, which should be almost the same diameter as the bamboo steamer, to get a better result.

Who remembers non-stop infomercials for the Bamboo Steamer back in the early 1980s?

[@TheNewMediaoftheDawn]

Nice vid, a tip, You can reuse parchment paper! I do it a lot.

[@christinafssll]

Okay, is the cabbage traditionally eaten with the meal? Can I eat the cabbage, or do most people discard it after steaming?

[@Oliveoilgirl]

It’s still considered food ! So you can eat it if you want!

[@rickw3764]

Do you normally put both layers of the bamboo basket in there even if you are only using one layer?

[@RockyGem1031]

Just bought one that came today. Mine came with reusable silicone liners. How do you clean these?

[@rrhodes75rr]

I use banana leaves also. Prevents sticking

[@anarebolledo4034]

Does the bamboo ever get burnt from being directly on the pan?

[@cgparas1]

You can purchase the stainless rings so that you can place the steamer over any cook pot. Better idea.

[@mitzara25]

do you need to soak the steamer in water over night? i don't know i heard it somewhere

[@Nancy-rk9zp]

Have you used the bamboo steamer for meat like chicken breast?

[@Nyle95]

Where did you go?

[@lofenoialof5320]

Very cool! How do you clean the bamboo ? Just warm water and dish soap ? Thanks !

[@rrhodes75rr]

Just plain warm water

[@TheUrbanVeg]

Sorry for the abrupt ending - my outro didn't work out as planned. Hope you enjoy and get yo bamboo steamer soon for all those veggies and dumplings!

[@deeangel008]

what about paper coffee filter

[@chrisdiane8429]

I find mine works great now that I bought the ring that fits on top of your walk and then the steamer on top of that then it's not touching water and you get great steam they sell them 11 inch 13 inch I got the 11 inch we have vegetables every night more now because of the steamer

[@GOODNESS-sp4hm]

Great presentation 👍🙏

[@jamesodonnell7628]

Omg the state of that wok

[@Nyle95]

What about it?

[@jamesodonnell7628]

@@Nyle95 Needs to be cleaned and re-treated

[@Nyle95]

@@jamesodonnell7628 how often to they need to be retreated?

[@jamesodonnell7628]

@@Nyle95 I don't think it's a time thing; It's more of a use thing. Check this video out. Most people don't do this to their woks before using them, and they really should. It's the proper way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn_LpXybiL56hMU

[@ShooterMcGavin32]

For the love of god season your steamer. Just brush boiling water over all of it, and then once dried brush on oil while it’s still warm all over. Store over night in a cold dark place. Will get all chemicals out of the wood and also make your steamer last way longer.

[@KevinLopez-hf6uk]

Do you think that if I put 4 layers of bamboo steamer at the time the food will cook evenly?

[@mentaritravel1004]

no, that's why in restaurants they rotate them

[@PiccoloMichelaChannel]

Doesn’t everything tastes like cabbage when you use cabbage liner? Just a question

[@TheUrbanVeg]

PiccoloMichela I didn’t have that experience but I’ll pay attention and see if I find a difference next time!

[@rellas8676]

Do you need to top up the water at all and do you think i could use a pan as i dont have a wok? 😊

[@forlandm]

Sure, you can use a pan as well. If you're steaming for more than a few minutes, it might be necessary to check the water level from time to time and top it up if necessary.

[@crystalsalton]

Did you ever find the reusable liners? If so where?

[@forlandm]

You can search for 'Cotton Reusable Liners for Bamboo Steamers' on Amazon, for example. It's also possible to just use roughly cut pieces of muslin, linen, etc. to put in your steamer - they don't need to be round and fit perfectly; just let the excess part hang over the rim of the container.

[@lenkiewitcz]

Do the different levels cook at different times, ie if i have veggies top and bottom which is very likely.

[@Rafael-mh6yz]

Please explain more

[@aidalove9411]

The bottom cooks faster than the top, so rotate them halfway

[@mikey99]

Silicone liners are very good my soup dumplings don’t stick!!

[@AndrewBryantPianoTuner]

Why are you blocking all the bents

[@thedesigner628]

Moving Mangos?

[@Gee1954]

I would try cheese cloth.

[@litchinlee6272]

You can be good friend with Uncle Roger!

[@albawalkiewicz4682]

Use banana leaves people

[@cgparas1]

I have plenty banana trees. Good suggestion.

[@JG1235]

I think I will just stick with my old trusted metal style ones. Had them for many years and no bad effects. Cant be bothered with liners and cabbage leaves bla bla bla.

[@RVHelper]

If you don’t know for sure, don’t say it.

[@HerrDext3r]

Wow, it's salad with a side of salad, not even a single dumpling or slice of fish there... :V

[@nyttkonto617]

This bamboo basket will release more chemicals into your food in one cooking than the metal one in a life time. Is all int he way they are made an treated in manufacturing.
