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.👍
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!
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 RUclips. I guess the plain water from the tap worked; I am not glowing in the dark☺
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.
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
Hello Eddy, Thank you for this very clear video. I have a brand new bamboo steamer. I rewatched your video and realized I need to redo the initial curing process. My question is, how often would I need to refresh the curing process with the oil? Thank you!
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.
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.
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 🌸
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 ☺️👌🏻
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.
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.
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?
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 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
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.
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。
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???
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?
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.

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.
After using the steamer should I wash with detergent?
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.
I would like to see different kinds of greatt noodles soups - Thank You
Thank you!
Usually, for how long does one bamboo steamer last?
Thank you for your videos.
It's can last for more than 3+years If you take care it properly
@@SidOhzen Thank you very much. I think I'll get one.

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?
Can you make video how to care wooden steamer ??
Can I use olive oil in substitute for cooking oil or is it a bad idea?
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 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

Do you have to oil it after every wash?
Or after every use? Or just the first time?
That’s the question I had too..
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
Can I use olive oil ? The best video thank you!
Yes you can
Simpler to just put bamboo steamer set in a dishwasher for a few minutes and then oil it.
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。
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???
Yes, but do not use any Dishwasher detergent
Thankyou Eddy! This was very helpful! I just steamed my first ever dumplings and it went well!

Yes, you can add more than 2 steamers, depending how powerful the heat of your stove is.
❤
Bravo💪💪👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤️🌹👊👊👊👊🇲🇦
Is coconut oil also good dor treating it?
coconut oil is solid at room temperature so I wouldnt suggest it.
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 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.
