CE Compass Bamboo Steamer Basket Set with Stainless Steel Banding, Steamer Liners and Chopsticks, Chinese Steamer for Cooking Foood

A food steamer or steam cooker is a small kitchen appliance used to cook or prepare various foods with steam heat by means of holding the food in a sealed vessel that limits the escape of air or liquids. Food steamers have been used for centuries. The ancient Chinese used pottery steamers to cook food. Due to their health aspect (cooking without any oil), food steamers are used extensively in health oriented diets such as Cuisine minceur, some raw food diets, the Okinawa diet, a macrobiotic diet, or the CRON-diet. Food steamers release less heat to the kitchen environment, therefore helping keep the kitchen cool during hot summers. This bamboo steamer basket set are round steamers made from bamboo used in Chinese cuisine. They can be stacked on top of each other so that the steam can cook many different servings simultaneously.
