The bamboo steamer basket can cook many foods, from cereal to all kinds of vegetables and fruits. To cook the bamboo steamer basket is a need for a pot the same size as the basket. It should fit over the pot. If the pot is larger, the steamer basket will be in contact with water and steaming will fail. If the pot is smaller, you can burn the steamer basket and also lose some steam on the sides. Add water to the pot without allowing it to touch the base of the steamer basket and bring to boil. When it comes to a boil, it fills up the steamer basket of food and cook over medium-low. It is to monitor the pot, so that water does not run out. If food is cooked very, very small, like grains, can put a cotton gauze, if not placed directly in the basket. This container should not be washed with soap and water, but clean gently with a damp cloth and let dry, and that being so delicate bamboo may damage the rub. Hello.
