Wahoooo! Just purchased bamboo streamer yesterday and I wondered if there was a process. Thank you the clear explanation and demonstration. You’re wonderful
Thank you Eddy for explaining all this, I never would have known without your video. I'll be getting my bamboo steamer this week and now I know how to be able to use it for a very long time 😊 Un Saludo from Spain!
Just purchased a bamboo steamer and they don't give such instructions so thank you for informing us. It irritates me that manufacturers don't bother to send proper instructions, specially when it comes to getting rid of the chemicals. Thank you 🇧🇷
Tomorow I get my first steamer. Im european and the steaming method looks so calming, but its new land for me. Thanks to you, i will not eat the mystery chemicals. Didn't know i must wash with boiling water. Thank you for the storing tip too. Searched some time for clear instructions.👍
Great information, My girlfriend got one for Christmas this year and can't wait to use it! Greatly appreciate your tips and in depth explanation of your techniques.
Hi Thomene. I'm curious, what size (diameter and height) is your mini-steamer. And do you protect it some how in your backpack so that it doesn't get crushed? Thanks!
Thank you! I got my steamer about a month ago and didn't prepare it like you did here, or oil it because I didn't know....there was no info about how to season etc. I've only used it a few times so I will go ahead and do this pretreat/season process anyway - better late than never. Your advice is very logical.
Thank you so much for this! My question is, how/where do I store my steamer and wok, because I have a tiny kitchen with limited cupboards and virtually no counter space
I did not know that was supposed to be done. I just washed it with water and I was done. When I got my steamer, there was no TH-cam. I guess the plain water from the tap worked; I am not glowing in the dark☺
Thank you soooo much! I just bough mine few minutes ago and wanted to treat it properly. Your video and tips really helped me. Have a nice and lovely life ☺️👌🏻
For the purpose of cleaning off chemicals i can see doing boiling water. But everytime after would hot water from the sink be good enough for cleaning? Mine isnt boiling hot but it's definitely scorching.
Thanks for sharing . FYI old steamer didn't have any problem ( medium size) but the one I bought large size ( 34 ins ) dunno what kind of chemical the factory use , the steamer looks mouldy with black patches. Sorry to say , earlier, I didn't know your method of maintaining the steamer, but my old steamer was OK until now. Can you tell me how do I get rid of those black patches here n there, it looks disgusting. Appreciate if you can give me some suggestion. TIA.
Just bought a bamboo steamer! We keep kosher since my partner is Jewish and the way you kasher pots/pans/silverware is sticking them in boiling water for ~15 seconds. Or with big things we also do the submerge a section for 15 seconds and then keep rotating it until everything has been covered. Tried this method since this made the most sense to me with cleaning and adding oil to the bamboo steamer. Hoping my bamboo steamer lasts a long time!! Excited to steam veggies and meats in a more grouped manner - we had one of those that sit at the bottom of the pot and you throw all the veggies in but everything didn’t really steam that well that way. Hoping if I have tiers of baskets it might have more open space around the veggies to steam properly. Thanks!!!!
@@Abuumm_muna Hi, I don’t speak Russian but used an online translator to try to understand the question. I think you’re asking if the steamers stick together with plastic? My bamboo steamers have metal rings that have a lip that’s narrower than the perimeter of the basket so the next tier is slightly bigger than the lip so they don’t fall off when moving the baskets together around. I don’t have plastic in my bamboo steamer set - just bamboo and metal rings.
Can you use coconut oil instead?also I had my first bamboo steamer never new to care for it lasted about 4 months.then it started to burnish at the bottom any tips to prevent this from happening in the future?must b something you can do to prevent that from occurring.I use big pot with stainless steel ring.bottom of steamer starting to burnish n stick n leaves mess on ring.
Hi Eddy, I found an old wok and basket steamer in my das shed, the wok usted and I am actually not sure if it can be rescued but The steamer was in it's package and looks fine, do you think i can still use it if washing good and following your steps?
Mr. Eddy I love your videos! Could you share how you make onigiri to us if you can please? No one explains recipes quite like you! Thank you for your amazing videos 😊🏵
@@SidOhzen Oh no! That's terrible! I'm sorry to hear that, I hope you're okay and you can get back to doing videos soon! You look like you enjoy it 😊 I send you lots of appreciation! I'll be here when you can come back 🌸
Thanks for this helpfull video!! I've cooked today black rice and it stained all the bamboo 😔( it passed the oven paper that I use to protect the bamboo) , how could I cleaned it? Thanks for the help!!!
If you didn't oil your bamboo steamer before first use and it's now stained and difficult to clean, I only can suggest trying to soak the steamer in water with a cup of white vinegar overnight for 8 hours and then using a brush or toothbrush to scrub it clean see if that way can helps.
Does the type of oil matter? I usually keep a variety on hand (vegetable, olive, sesame, avocado, canola, sunflower). Thanks for this video btw. it's very helpful.
Is it possible to correct warping/uneven steamer? Grabbed one at a store quickly without inspecting it and it isnt perfectly round so it sits a bit weird If i can for example force it into shape when its hot or something
Thankyou Eddy! This was very helpful! I just steamed my first ever dumplings and it went well! I noticed after the cook was done on the dumplings, the water left underneath had turned yellowish, is this normal?
The stainless steel ring is mainly to strengthen the protection of the bamboo steamer and it is not easy to deform. If you use it frequently, you can choose to add a stainless steel ring. The disadvantage is that the gap between the steel ring is not easy to clean。
Hey Eddy -- can you buy 2 steamers and stack an added tray or two? When cooking, I use both my trays and then need to empty one and refill it with the rest of the stuff I am cooking. Thoughts or advice are appreciated.
Just confirming because I wasn't too sure from the video- Are you supposed to oil it after every single use? Also is it best to oil it while it's drying or when it's completely dry?
You can try this way: 1. First use a brush to remove mold 2. Wash with white vinegar 3. Rinse with water 4. Dry it in oven at 150 degrees Celsius for about 20-30 minutes （Make sure it is completely dry） 5. Finally follow the method in the video to restore the bamboo steamer
HEY!! Eddy, can you answer this? i was told to never wash my bamboo steamer with water, others told me to always soak my bamboo steamer in warm water for 20 min before using it every time... So im confused... I get the use of the oil.
You can wash it after used but just follow my instructions in video to season first! And every time after washing Make sure let dry and do repeat season when you are going to store it
I have had a steamer for about 2 years and I found this video about 15 mins before I finally opened it. Exactly what I needed? But can I just throw it in the dishwasher to get the chemicals off???
I do not recommend that you use an air fryer as it tends to burn the bamboo steamer! Then there is no point in using a bamboo steamer in the microwave。。。
Just bought a bamboo steamer not too long ago. Thanks for posting this with such clear instructions. I also appreciate the storing tips as well!
Glad to help! 😊
I don’t even have a steamer, but now I feel like buying one. Thank you so much.

Is the steamer glued together with something? Glue or plastic, or is it completely woven?
I wish I knew this before I got my steamer. Good thing I want a bigger one now anyway. Thanks so much for this video. Very educational!

Or after every use? Or just the first time?

Rather use the cheaper oils like Canola or Sunflower oil.
After using the steamer should I wash with detergent?
hi...I steam the food every day,and planing to by this product...how to clean bamboo steamer after every use and leave it for next day? thank you
Just use hot water with a soft brush to wash and let it dry out.
Is it possible to correct warping/uneven steamer? Grabbed one at a store quickly without inspecting it and it isnt perfectly round so it sits a bit weird
If i can for example force it into shape when its hot or something
Can I use olive oil ? The best video thank you!
Yes you can

It's can last for more than 3+years If you take care it properly

I would like to see different kinds of greatt noodles soups - Thank You
Thank you!
nice vedio
Thank you.
Do you recommend the bamboo steamers that have a ring of stainless steel or shall it be fully bamboo? Thank you
The stainless steel ring is mainly to strengthen the protection of the bamboo steamer and it is not easy to deform. If you use it frequently, you can choose to add a stainless steel ring. The disadvantage is that the gap between the steel ring is not easy to clean。
Hey Eddy -- can you buy 2 steamers and stack an added tray or two? When cooking, I use both my trays and then need to empty one and refill it with the rest of the stuff I am cooking. Thoughts or advice are appreciated.
Yes, you can add more than 2 steamers, depending how powerful the heat of your stove is.
is the oil neceassary on all the levels if your using parchment paper?
The reason for oiling the bamboo steamer is to maintain the steamer and prevent mold growth during storage, rather than primarily to prevent sticking.
@@SidOhzen Thanks Uncle Eddy !
Do you oil after every use? No matter the age?
not necessarily oli after every use just when you are going to store it and not use it for a while
Just confirming because I wasn't too sure from the video-
Are you supposed to oil it after every single use?
Also is it best to oil it while it's drying or when it's completely dry?
Oil it when you are no longer in use, better olive when it drying and while it still warm.
@@SidOhzen thank you!
Do you season it with veggie oil after each use?
Only if you won't use it for a while, but if you use it regularly then you don't need to.
Can I still restore a moldy bamboo steamer? Or should I get a new one?
You can try this way:
1. First use a brush to remove mold
2. Wash with white vinegar
3. Rinse with water
4. Dry it in oven at 150 degrees Celsius for about 20-30 minutes （Make sure it is completely dry）
5. Finally follow the method in the video to restore the bamboo steamer

Is coconut oil also good dor treating it?
coconut oil is solid at room temperature so I wouldnt suggest it.

Yes, but do not use any Dishwasher detergent
Is the steamer glued together with something? Glue or plastic, or is it completely woven?
Woven bamboo…
@@SidOhzen Can I use it immediately after oiling?
@@SidOhzen Is there no chemistry in bamboo fiber? Eco-friendly tableware?
Bravo💪💪👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤️🌹👊👊👊👊🇲🇦
Can you air fry or microwave it?
I do not recommend that you use an air fryer as it tends to burn the bamboo steamer! Then there is no point in using a bamboo steamer in the microwave。。。
