This steamer is great for dumplings and vegetables, though its shape makes it difficult to tell how much water is left in the pot you're steaming it over, and the bamboo comes into contact with very hot pans, producing a slight smoky smell sometimes. The more you use it, the more the bamboo will relax with age. My only real problem with this steamer is that it's somewhat small (6" diameter), but I couldn't find a larger one.

Try it for steaming vegetables, fish, or even rice. Inexpensive, but well-made.

I purchased this item as a filler. I have two steamers already that are 5+ yrs old. First of all i found this item to be smaller than i expected. Secondly, i washed this item as instructed and left it out to air dry (as i do with my others without any problems), on the second day i noticed some dark blemishes on the underside. These eventually turned into numberous dark spots on the underside on both basket parts of the steamer. I have never experienced this before! They were deep into the bamboo, this item had just been steamed then washed in very hot water and allowed to air dry... i have no idea how this happened? I used one of my others at the same time and it never developed this problem. I returned the item to Amazon.

This is an excellent bamboo steamer when you want to steam just a small quantity of food. Since it is small, you only need a small pan of water to generate the steam. I use it for thawing and cooking frozen and/or fresh vegetables. Quality and construction of the steamer is excellent

This little steamer is perfect for small servings and, between uses, adds a nice decorative touch to the kitchen countertop.

It sticks your dumblings all over, when you try to remove them after steam they are undercook on top and sticky and glue to the bottom. It may be a good product if you know what you are doing. I even watch videos online and is just not working for me.

This bamboo steamer is well-made and easy to clean and so far does not twist much in the drying.

this works great for someone new to steaming. Later I will probably get a bigger one. Have used this for veggies & fish. Clean-up is easy and the size works for a single person. Thanks for a quality product.

This is the third steamer I have purchased. One for each of my daughters, and one for me to use on our boat, as I have the large bamboo steamer for home use. Steaming is the only way to prepare vegetables, and this petite size is perfect for two.

This steamer was a present for my daughter, Alex, for Christmas . She loved it and was surprised it was for 3 pieces. It was just what she wanted. Thank you. Judy

Good qualitly, but...

My older one had bamboo handles that hung at the top of my pot. My older one was SLIGHTLY bigger, allowing me to easily steam corn that was broken in 2. It looks like I am back to World Market again to replace my 10-year-old broken bamboo steamer. (This one will never get the chance to get broken by me for as little as I use it.)
