    • @stretchyme
      @stretchyme 2 роки тому +10

      Literally when it starts breaking apart and you can see the rattan unravelling. For home use this will almost never happen. For restaurants, because they use the same steamer so many times in a day it wears down quicker.

      Bamboos grow very fast so they are a great renewable resource. But of course, we should take from commercially planted bamboo forest specific for harvesting not just cut down wild bamboo forest.
