Why this product earns its place
The 18cm bamboo steamer is your workhorse for individual plating or small-batch dim sum where precision matters more than volume. A single basket holds four to six dumplings or a small handful of bok choy — the size that lets you pull one tier and plate it cleanly without cooling down your next batch.
Bamboo breathes the way no metal steamer does. Steam rises through the loose weave, cooks the food from all sides, and escapes without condensing back onto the surface. That's why dumplings stay tender with crisp skin, and why vegetables don't turn into mush the way they can in a sealed pot.
The basket nestles on any wok or pot and stacks easily. Many teams run three tiers — one going in, one coming out, one plating — keeping service moving without buying more equipment than they need.
