Dasoguy Spruce Steamer with Whole Metal Rings - for Simple & Fast Cooking Traditional Chinese Style In Optimized Designs Steaming is an important and widely used cooking technique in the Asian kitchen. Most kitchens in Asia do not have ovens, therefore baking or roasting are not commonly used cooking techniques. Instead, dumplings, breads, cakes, and other desserts are steamed. Steaming is also a perfect way to refresh stale bread and reheat leftovers. Steaming has gained popularity in the Western kitchen for its convenience, simplicity, health benefits and energy savings. This Dasoguy wooden steamer is handmade from quality spruce and is durable. The product aims to recreate the feeling of traditional Chinese cooking while providing the best shape to circulate steam at the perfect temperature. Healthy Cooking With Wood Steamers Cooking with a wood steamer is an easy and healthy way to cook many of your favorite Asian foods. Nutritionists and advocates of healthy eating habits agree that steam cooking is the best way to preserve the nutrition of all foods. Steaming can retain 90% of the nutrition of food. Steaming is also a very low-fat way to cook because you need little or no oil. Long History and Superb Craftsmanship Handmade and Sustainable This Dasoguy wood steamer is handmade and crafted with quality spruce making it a healthy and sustainable choice. This type of wood has a subtle aromatic smell that can provide a beautiful hint of flavor when it steams food. The stainless steel protects the basket from the moisture and heat from the steam. Since wood naturally absorbs water, there is no condensation within the steamer that can leak into the food. Our handcrafted basket looks impressive to have a dinner party and freshly steamed dumplings served directly in these exotic-looking steamer trays. Suitable For: Dumplings Dim Sum Rice Vegetables Fish and Seafood Meat (e.g. Chicken) HOW TO USE YOUR WOOD STEAMER Using a wood steamer involves boiling water in a pan or wok, placing the steamer in boiling water, adding a liner to prevent food sticking, adding food, covering and steaming until the food is finished. A few inches of water at the bottom is enough so that it can generate a lot of steam without boiling immediately, but not so much that the bottom of the basket gets soaked. When cooking meat, fish or vegetables, we recommend you oil your food on a steam base or cook it on lettuce leaves. Important: Always make sure you have enough water in your pot!
