Product Description
Bamboo steamers are typically used for cooking Chinese dim sum, but have many virtues that make them handy for all types of food. The domed lid traps steam efficiently and the two baskets can be stacked to accommodate different foods in each level. These steamers are usually used inside a wok (be sure your wok is about 2" wider than the 10" baskets) but can also be set over a stockpot.

This steamer worked really well. I've never steamed before but my experience thus far have been great. It's perfect for the single or couple that are looking for a quick and no mess way to fix a meal. I come home from work, put the water on, prep my food, and put it in the steamer. By the time, I've changed into casual clothes, dinner is ready.
It's opened the door to a whole new way of cooking!

Although I have not tried other bamboo steamers, I'm quite pleased the quality. I cook with this several times a week. Chicken and all kinds of fish never tasted so good and healthy. I've already purchased a 2nd steamer for my 2nd home.
Fish and chicken cook in 10 minutes guaranteed! This is the healthiest way to eat.
Convenient and healthy! January 8, 2006

I love the fact that you can cook an entire meal in one of these. I just steamed fish, veggies, and a fruit custard in about 15 minutes. No oils, no butter - it's great. The steamer contains all the steam (I also bought a deep saute pan that looks like a small wok with a handle and the steamer fits perfectly on it) and doesn't get hot. My kitchen does not smell like fish either. I highly recommend this item.
Works perfectly, utterly invaluable! August 24, 2007

Basically, these bamboo steamers:
* cook much more easily than the standard metal mesh kind; the clearance from the water is higher, the air is trapped a bit more, improving the steaming efficacy, and the size (and multi-tier stacking) means you can cook virtually anything
* are essentially idiot-proof; no matter how little attention you pay, you really aren't going to have a kitchen disaster
* produce very healthy food (at least in terms of the cooking process) - no oil at all!
* keep food soft and moist, preferable to baking
* are energy efficient (relative to ovens, or even pan-cooking) and bamboo is a renewable crop, so these are environmentally friendly!

Joyce Chen Never Ceases to Impress September 16, 2007

This is my first steamer, and it's absolutely easy to use. Needed some brushing to get the thin slivers of bamboo smoothed down, but that's common practice when you buy a steamer anyway. So far, it's preformed beautifully, we've used it about a dozen times and it has remained in perfect condition. The size of the steamer is generous enough to steam whole, medium sized fish, holds tons of gyoza, wontons, dumplings, and potstickers, and is SO MUCH BETTER than a metal steamer when making vegetables. Everything comes out tasting really, really good.
We're going to buy another, smaller steamer from the Joyce Chen product line in the near future for other stuff. Chen's bamboo handled knives are also worth looking into - good for years.
