This bamboo steamer is just the right size if you like to steam large quantities of food. I had a 10 inch steamer for many years and it finally wore out. I decided to get the next size and I'm happy I did.

Anyone that purchases this steamer will not be disappointed. Super high quality and it looks like it will last a long time. Very sturdy and well worth every penny! It looks good too. Not one of those "cheap" steamers you see a lot of. I would gladly buy it again.

very well made steamer. i use mine to dry herbs from my garden. i have a smaller one i use to steam whole dinners.

I've found some cheaper alternatives after doing some more research online, but can't say anything as to the quality. The Joyce Chen bamboo steamer seems to be of high quality (my first one, so I don't have much to compare it to). It had a bit of a bamboo smell when it arrived, which is to be expected, and after a good washing and several uses this became a non issue.

The 12 inch is pretty big, but fits well in my 16 inch round bottom wok. While I fear the 12 inch might even be a little too big, I've been deciding lately that I should have bigger cookware incase I have guests over. You can always take out one of the racks if you want to cook a meal for one.

I line the bottom of the trays with lettuce leaves to prevent the food from transferring bacteria (with meats) as well as smells. More natural and easier to manage than the parchment paper.

If you're thinking about buying a steamer, this is the one I would recommend.

Served it purpose. Gave me a good feel of steaming my food. I have to drag it down and work with it more. It's a good size to fit over my larger pan.

I have been using steamers for years. This product is great. Just make sure you know what size you need.

Bought this for my niece for Christmas to use as a double pie carrier and it has worked out great. Quality and price is great.

No matter how many times I cleaned and used this steamer I could not get the plain WOOD taste out of my food im so sure it is bamboo since true bamboo doesnt do this.

Great product. It drives the women wild. It seems that my love life has gotten rather steamy as a result of all of this healthy eating. Steam me up, Scotty... to the planet of hot babes.
