Steamer baskets are ideal for steaming rice, fish, meat and firm vegetables.
Preparation:
Rinse the new steamer basket in warm water to remove any dust.
Place a piece of parchment paper, a lettuce leaf or a bamboo mat at the bottom to prevent the food from sticking.
Setup:
Fill a pot or wok with water so it almost reaches, but does not touch, the bottom of the steamer basket.
Bring the water to a boil and place the basket on top of the pot.
Steaming:
Place the food in the basket with some space between pieces to ensure good steam circulation.
Put the lid on and steam for the recommended time depending on the ingredients (f.eks. 8-10 min. for dumplings, 15-20 min. for vegetables).
Check regularly that there is enough water in the pot, and add more if necessary.
After use:
Rinse the basket in warm water without soap, as bamboo can absorb flavors and chemicals.
Use a soft brush or sponge to remove food residues.
Deeper cleaning (if needed):
If there is any odor or stains, you can soak the basket in a bowl of warm water with a little vinegar for 10-15 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly afterwards and let it dry completely.
Drying and storage:
Let the basket air dry completely in a well-ventilated area to prevent mold.
Store it in a dry place, preferably not in a closed plastic bag.
With proper care your bamboo steamer basket can last for many years! 🌿
