Norpro Bamboo Steamer

The steamer is designed to fit most standard pots, woks, and pans. For the best results, ensure your pot is slightly smaller than the 10-inch diameter of the steamer so it sits securely on the rim without falling inside.

No, this bamboo steamer is not dishwasher safe. To clean it, simply hand wash with warm water and a mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely before storing to prevent mold or warping.

The two-tier design allows you to stack different foods simultaneously. You can place items that require longer cooking times, like proteins or root vegetables, on the bottom tier, and faster-cooking items, such as leafy greens or dumplings, on the top tier.

While not strictly required, using parchment paper liners or large cabbage leaves on the bottom of the tiers is highly recommended. This prevents food from sticking to the bamboo slats and makes cleanup significantly easier.

Bamboo is a neutral material that does not impart any unwanted flavors to your food. In fact, it helps preserve the natural taste and nutrients of your ingredients by gently steaming them rather than boiling them in water.
