HIC Bamboo Steamer Basket

Steam dumplings, buns, vegetables and fish the traditional way. This Helen's Asian Kitchen steamer from HIC is handmade from natural bamboo and held together with bamboo pegs and lacing, and its tight weave traps the steam while the bamboo soaks up condensation so water doesn't drip back onto the food. Set it over a pot of boiling water, line it with parchment or cabbage leaves for buns and dim sum, or set a shallow heat-proof dish inside for anything with a sauce.

• Sizes: 6, 10 and 12 inches across
• The 10 inch steamer is a 3-piece set
• Handmade from natural bamboo, assembled with bamboo pegs and lacing
