Handmade Bamboo Steamer Basket – The Authentic Way to Steam Dumplings, Dim Sum & More
Crafted from natural bamboo using traditional weaving techniques, this steamer basket brings the classic taste of steamed dishes to your kitchen. Designed for both home cooking and commercial use, it’s perfect for making juicy dumplings, fluffy bao buns, tender vegetables, and fresh seafood with the kind of texture and flavor that only authentic bamboo steaming can deliver.
This method of cooking has been used for centuries across Chinese and broader Asian culinary traditions, and for good reason. Unlike metal or plastic steamers, bamboo doesn’t trap excess condensation against the food — instead, the natural material gently absorbs moisture as it steams, which is exactly why dumplings and bao come out light and fluffy rather than wet and soggy. For kitchens already building out a fully natural, plastic-free cooking and serving setup, this steamer pairs well with our broader range of bamboo disposable tableware (explore the collection here), extending sustainable choices from the stove to the table.
Each steamer is hand-woven with a tight, interlocking pattern that allows steam to circulate evenly, cooking food quickly and consistently while locking in moisture and flavor. This traditional weaving technique isn’t just decorative — it directly affects cooking performance, ensuring heat and steam move through the basket uniformly so every piece of food cooks at the same rate, whether it’s sitting at the center or the edge of the basket.
This steamer is available in a wide range of sizes to fit nearly every cooking need, from solo meals to full commercial kitchen output:
- 10cm, 13cm, 15cm — Ideal for small batches, individual meals, or appetizer-sized portions
- 18cm, 20cm — Great for family meals, side dishes, or small restaurant service
- 21–30cm (including deepened versions) — Perfect for large families, commercial kitchens, or bulk cooking
- Optional cord handles — Available for safer handling when moving hot steamers off the stove

Whether you’re making traditional Chinese dim sum, healthy steamed vegetables, or light fish dishes, this bamboo steamer delivers authentic results that are difficult to replicate with modern steaming appliances.
Care Instructions: Rinse with warm water and air dry completely before storing to prevent mold or warping. A light oil treatment applied occasionally will help keep the bamboo in good condition and extend its usable life.
