Hcooker Bamboo Steamer

The Hcooker steamer is designed with a standard round shape that fits most common pot sizes. However, it works best when the pot is slightly smaller than the steamer base so the basket sits securely on the rim without falling inside.

Bamboo is porous, so you should avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher. Simply hand wash it with warm water and a mild soap, then let it air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storing it to prevent mold.

Yes, the two-tier design is specifically built for simultaneous cooking. You can steam vegetables on the bottom tier and dumplings or fish on the top, though keep in mind that flavors may mingle slightly between the layers.

It is highly recommended to use parchment paper liners, cabbage leaves, or lettuce leaves at the bottom of each tier. This prevents food from sticking to the bamboo slats and makes cleanup significantly easier.

No, you should never place the bamboo steamer directly on a burner or open flame. It must be placed inside or on top of a pot containing simmering water, ensuring the bamboo does not touch the water directly to avoid burning.
