Bamboo Steamer

The One Tier Bamboo Steamer with Lid 6" is a simple yet effective tool for healthy home cooking. Ideal for steaming dumplings, bao buns, vegetables or fish, this traditional steamer helps preserve flavour, nutrients, and texture without using oil.

Crafted from natural bamboo, the steamer allows steam to circulate evenly while absorbing excess moisture, helping to prevent sogginess and ensuring your food stays light and tender. Its 6-inch (15cm) size is perfect for small portions, single servings, or tasting menus, whether you’re cooking for one or making appetisers for guests.

This steamer is suitable for use over a wok, saucepan, or stock pot and is a great addition to kitchens wanting to explore Asian-style recipes or low-fat cooking. Easy to use, easy to clean, and reusable, it’s a practical and eco-conscious choice for any home cook.
