That is a good question. No, place the bamboo when the water is NOT hot (right after you pour water into the skillet), and then bring water to a boil. Once it starts boiling, then reduce the flame to low and continue to cook until you've reached your total steaming time you need.
Better to use a pot with a rim extender for the steamer instead of using a skillet to steam your food and damage the bottom of the bamboo basket. It is surprising to me that the video says to use a skillet or wok.... using a shallow skillet or deeper wok means your bamboo basket will be sitting IN the water when it should be sitting ABOVE the water which is what the rim extender does.... elevates the basket out of the water. Using a pot will give you plenty of room for water to fully cook your food without evaporating and scorch your bamboo basket or skillet/wok.. Using the rim extender will keep your bamboo basket stable so it does not tip over, off the pot. The rim extender can be purchased separately or as part of the set...bamboo baskets, lid and rim extender. Enjoy using your steamer... it is better than the microwave for re-heating leftovers!
i know this upload is over 3 years but i just saw it today and want to say thank you for uploading. The video is extremely helpful and i am now enjoying my bamboo steamer ☺
Thank you,,, this may be 6 years ago but it is very helpful regardless of time. I’m not very cultured but enjoy learning how to use these things I have in my home (without setting the kitchen on fire) and making I apart of my own tradition.
Thanks so much! I haven't used mine yet because I had a feeling there was a step I was missing, and sure enough, there was. I would not have ever thought of using parchment paper!
AHH the secret is "parchment paper in between" got it. Thank you, great video I can finally use my new bamboo steamer!! it been in the cabinet for far too long. Gracias

Thank you!!!!!!!! I was gifted one of these by my sister-in-law. Who knows that I love some of these steams? Sticky rice desserts that are in banana leaves. So she bought me one of these for my birthd. Absolutely no idea how to use it. And I thought that it was missing heart. I thought they would be apart on the bottom. That you could put on the stove or something. However, I used it for the first time and I have one. That is exactly like the one in this video. However, it is now very dark bamboo on one side, LOL. Because I burned it by placing it directly on the Eye. II had a blonde moment for sure. This was the most easy uncomplicated video on how to use the steamer. R that I have watched. Thank you for making until Arab people can understand it easily. You just won my subscription, thank you.
Thank you for posting this. I got a bamboo steamer for Christmas and it had no instructions at all. I used it for vegetables last night with no parchment paper and ended up overcooking it because I was distracted. I tried again and was surprised how quickly veggies cook this way!
Thanks. Wasn't sure about the parchment paper and when to use it. Thought it was for dumplings or fish, to prevent sticking but didn't know it was for everything, including veggies. Thanks. Just got mine today, with the liners cut for the steamer. Have also ordered the re-useable liners too for a more eco-friendly solution.
+yingandyangliving I only have a 2 story 8" stack for vegetables, but after browsing your video and a few others, I will buy extra storeys, and will also try a 10" stack.
+Mordough Johnson hi, yes I have done so, but it must be kept in its own small container within the steamer so that the fish is not in contact with the bamboo.. Also, you keep any nice juices that come from the fish. I got some nice little stoneware containers from the pound shop which are very cheap and totally heatproof
Thank you so much! I have had one of these for years because I love unique and beautiful things, but I did not know what to do with it. This video was perfect!! So appreciated.
Thank you! I found a bamboo steamer at Savers (5 dollars) and passed it up. After seeing this, I went back for it. Broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. All of it came out perfectly. I also used the bottom to reheat chicken. It was better than the microwave that's for sure. Thank you for turning me on to bamboo steaming. I also really love the music in this video. One question though... Is it normal for the water to turn green?
Hello...Glad you got sold on the bamboo steamer as it is a very healthy way to cook. I am happy that I was able to convince you. Did the water turn green while you were cooking the veggies or chicken? I think it would be from the veggies...
yingandyangliving You're right. My mother just told me it's normal for broccoli to turn water green when steamed. I don't cook much. lol. I will never boil vegetables again. Steam from here on out.
omfg, youre so right! and @Sarah Richards me too, i was wondering why she looked so familiar until i got to this comment! also, even though both of them have very different eyes, they both have beautiful eyes!
Thanks for the instructions ! I've had a steamer for about 15 years and not used it. I thought I had to have a wok and balance it on chopsticks so it didn't touch the water. Decided to try to steam some asparagus as it has seemed a bit stringy. Now I know. I shall use it.

Yes! Thank you so much! There's a place near me that sells dim sum that is out of this world. Not only that, they sell frozen dim sum for you to take home! So I bought a steamer and looked at it and part of me went 'you have no idea how to use this thing do you?' so it was off to the internet!
SSabo33, I had a similar problem, the music made me want to take off all my clothes and dance an exotic dance until my veggies were steamed! Both me and my vegetables were absolutely orgasmic. My husband loved it and now we use it everyday for breakfast and dinner! (:

Thanks! I've had a bamboo steamer for years but I only used it once because my dumplings stuck to the slats; it didn't occur to me to use parchment paper! 🤣
good! i had forgoten a bit about my bamboo steamer ( i should had not bought one so small...but oh well) but now i relearn. On my side when i used it i lined it whit some teflon sheet: i use them, wash them,etc so i don"t need to have and trow parchment paper or any other disposable.
thank you for the great and helpful tips. straight to the point. keep up the great videos. I just bought my bamboo steamer today. looking forward to steaming my dumplings.
for cooking rice I;ve just seen another video where you put boiling water on the rice for 30 mins in bowl then steam it using the baking (parchment) paper. now to find a bamboo steamer!
Randomly Sammy sounds like a very healthy and delicious meal! Veggies do not need much time for steaming, usually steam between 5-10 minutes, depending on the vegetable, so be careful not to over steam, especially if you slice your vegetables thinly.

Hi and thank you so much for making this video! Quick question: do you have any recommendations for a good bamboo steamer or brand of bamboo steamers? It seems like a lot of them have not so great reviews online, and as a beginner I'd like to get one that will last a long time
that is a very good question. I do not know the brands cause I've had my steamer for a long time. Perhaps not get the cheapest one, nor the most expensive one. I paid like $20 for mine and it has lasted awhile.
Thank you so very much for your expertise. So, there's *no "seasoning" preparation as far as it being brand new, like the traditional cast iron pan"* Oh...and you are so *pretty and have the cutest dimples!* ✌🏽😁👍🏼♥️
I appreciate the video. Just note to people who know how to measure, or maybe dont...that pan you are using is 2-3" deep, you did not have 2-3" of water in it, it was more like 1/2-3/4" which makes sense, but anyone actually putting 2-3" of water in a pan like that...well, its not going to be good and the water might be up in to the first layer of your steamer as well, and might boil over the sides of the pan. 2-3 centimeters is closer to what I think you meant, which is about 3/4 to 1-1/4 inch, but I would say you were using more like 1.5 centimeters deep of water, which is about 3/4". 1/2-3/4" should be perfect and should not boil dry in 10 minutes which is very typical time for dumplings when the temperature is reduced to medium after the water is boiling. I just made my first Shumai dumplings with the metal steamer I have...I may never make another kind of dumpling again, so much easier than worrying about closing the wonton and sealing it. Using a steamer basket like this may increase how many I can steam at one time, but I need to measure my steamer and compare. I steamed 12 dumplings in one layer and there was no bad effect from using the stainless steel...just spray the stainless steamer pan (not a steamer basket, but a steamer/double boiler type pan) with a little oil and it cleans right up and can go in the dishwasher too if desired.
anything that is not too hard or too large. Glad it helped! Here's a playlist with other videos you might enjoy! ua-cam.com/play/PLap9F0DwKLdK-rsjildbuysZTFRJ7Tv_G.html

Thank you for a quick and very informative video. Exactly what I was looking for, even 7 years later.
yes, my videos are timeless
Remember to add water from time to time or you will burn the pot and the steamer when all the water evaporates
Yes, thank you. I never steam anything for more than7 -10 minutes, so I forgot that part, so thank you.
it's not a pot, is a bell! Why she us it instead of the pot?
@@OniricTV
Metal steamers drip with condensation making your food soggy.
Bamboo absorbs any steam, making your food more structured.

Thank you for the tutorial. You now have a new subscriber.
I love mine! I found it at St.Vincent DePaul. A place that sells donated items
It was in Canada...
Sounds like you're making very good use of it!
yingandyangliving I Only bought it today. Im hoping to make a steamed vegetable salad tomorrow.
Randomly Sammy sounds like a very healthy and delicious meal! Veggies do not need much time for steaming, usually steam between 5-10 minutes, depending on the vegetable, so be careful not to over steam, especially if you slice your vegetables thinly.
im making bao today so thank you very much
you're welcome
Thank you, I really wanted to know and those dimples when you smile are so cute

I think you've made this clear but just to be sure - is it OK for the water to touch the steamer? It doesn't ruin the wood?
abbers absolutely, you should have it touch the water
Thanks! I made char siu bao for the first time yesterday :D
Hi and thank you so much for making this video! Quick question: do you have any recommendations for a good bamboo steamer or brand of bamboo steamers? It seems like a lot of them have not so great reviews online, and as a beginner I'd like to get one that will last a long time
that is a very good question. I do not know the brands cause I've had my steamer for a long time. Perhaps not get the cheapest one, nor the most expensive one. I paid like $20 for mine and it has lasted awhile.
This was very helpful thank you I you've answered all my questions

Thank you I am so excited to try this new way of cooking for Lunar New Year!
you're welcome
Thank you so very much for your expertise. So, there's *no "seasoning" preparation as far as it being brand new, like the traditional cast iron pan"*
Oh...and you are so *pretty and have the cutest dimples!* ✌🏽😁👍🏼♥️
You are so welcome!
agreed!
Great now all I need to know is time. I have a pound of shrimps and a 16oz (1lb)frozen dumplings. How do I know when they're ready?
this is so useful, thank you!!
You're so welcome!
I appreciate the video.
Just note to people who know how to measure, or maybe dont...that pan you are using is 2-3" deep, you did not have 2-3" of water in it, it was more like 1/2-3/4" which makes sense, but anyone actually putting 2-3" of water in a pan like that...well, its not going to be good and the water might be up in to the first layer of your steamer as well, and might boil over the sides of the pan.
2-3 centimeters is closer to what I think you meant, which is about 3/4 to 1-1/4 inch, but I would say you were using more like 1.5 centimeters deep of water, which is about 3/4".
1/2-3/4" should be perfect and should not boil dry in 10 minutes which is very typical time for dumplings when the temperature is reduced to medium after the water is boiling.
I just made my first Shumai dumplings with the metal steamer I have...I may never make another kind of dumpling again, so much easier than worrying about closing the wonton and sealing it. Using a steamer basket like this may increase how many I can steam at one time, but I need to measure my steamer and compare. I steamed 12 dumplings in one layer and there was no bad effect from using the stainless steel...just spray the stainless steamer pan (not a steamer basket, but a steamer/double boiler type pan) with a little oil and it cleans right up and can go in the dishwasher too if desired.
thanks for the correction.
Very useful.. I've been looking for this. Thank you ❤️

I’ve been wondering why I scorch my steamers so many times. I didn’t know you were supposed to submerge it!

When is it best to season the steamed vegetables? Right after they are steamed? Should oil be used as well?
Thanks a lot. I got a steamer today. What vegetables can I steam ? Also Aubergines ?
anything that is not too hard or too large. Glad it helped! Here's a playlist with other videos you might enjoy! ua-cam.com/play/PLap9F0DwKLdK-rsjildbuysZTFRJ7Tv_G.html
