Bamboo steamer in China was invented in Han Dynasty, and it is almost 2000 years history. If there is a representation for our pastry industry, the bamboo steamer must be the No.1. However, do you really know how to use it?
Before using it
If it is the brand new bamboo steamer, you should clean it before using it. The best cleaning way is directly brushed with a wire cloth to get rid of the scraps of the bamboo and make the surface smooth enough.
Use processing
You should boil a pot of water, and place the bamboo steamer on the shelf that is put above the boiling water. Usually we will put all steamed bread or dumplings directly inside the bamboo steamer. Of course we will see the bamboo steamers in many restaurants will be placed a piece of paper inside between the bamboo steamer and the food. It is because you can dispose the paper when you need to use the steamer again, and you do not need to clean the bamboo steamer.
Maintenance for it
After using the bamboo steamer, you have to clean it carefully. Even though the bamboo will not absorb the steamed water and air, the juice of food will remain in it. It will produce bacteria, not for health.
The bamboo steamer is a sample of Chinese cuisine. It will send off the flavour of bamboo and make the food more delicious. If you do like the Chinese pastry food, try the Booboa bamboo steamer, and it will astonish you!
