Steam basket

There are generally 2 types of steaming baskets, one made of bamboo, and the other one metal. They come in various sizes to match and fit your wok. They are also stackable, so you can steam many baskets at the same time. The steamers come with their own lids; therefore you won't need the wok lid when you are steaming. They can also double as serving trays steamed food such as Chinese buns, dim sums, and Chinese sponge cake.

In our opinion, the bamboo steamer is better than the metal steamer because the texture of the bamboo absorbs the moisture, allows the steam to circulate inside it. As the steam circulates, the condensation collecting on the top of the lid is minimized, thus preventing water dripping onto the food, spoiling the taste and appearance of the dish. With a metal steamer, this problem can be curtailed by wrapping the metal steamer lid with a thin towel before covering the steamer.
