"sm bamboo steamer"
Quality is fine but the 6-inch size is too small to be usefull.

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

"Very Puzzled & Disappointed"
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.

"Works well, but gets grungy easily"
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.
