Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Joyce Chen 10-Inch Bamboo Steamer Set
Customer Review: Great construction, very pleasing and healthy results!
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this steamer at a thrift store, brand new, never been used, and still in the box, for a mere $4. But I had already been researching bamboo steamers, including seeing this one on Amazon (where I would likely have bought it otherwise). I have used it a few times, with super results. The construction is sturdy, and the lid is also very well-made, better than the first steamer I bought at a bix-box home store (which was overpriced, in my humble opinion). I used store-bought parchment paper that I cut to an appropriate size, tracing around a salad plate for the shape. Then I steamed over a 14" wok. I think I could have used a bigger steamer, but I managed fine. I've read in many places, that a steamer should be almost the same size as the wok (only about 1-2" smaller than the wok). But with a metal trivet placed at the bottom (which I also found at the thrift store -- not required for success, but I found it very helpful for stabilization. Four chopsticks in a criss-crossed pattern work well too.), and adequate water used, I was able to cook up some delicious chicken. It's been a learning experience, and fun! I plan to cook up more veggies, more chicken (Kung Pao is my favorite dish), maybe even try rice, and whatever else that trips my trigger. I'd recommend that potential buyers do some additional research online and at the library, checking out how to use bamboo steamers, and Chinese cooking. That's what has helped me tremendously. If I wanted and needed another steamer, I'd SO get another Joyce Chen model here on Amazon. Two chopsticks up from me! :-)
