• Easy Use And Care: designed for use inside a wok, wide saucepan, stockpot, Dutch oven, or deep skillet; wipe with a dry cloth or brush before first use and hand wash as needed after use in warm, soapy water

• Prepare Your Pot — Select a wok, wide saucepan, stockpot, or Dutch oven that is larger in diameter than the steamer. Add 1-2 inches of water to the pot, ensuring the water level will not touch the bottom of the steamer basket when placed inside.
• Add Food and Steam — Place your food items (dumplings, vegetables, fish, etc.) into the bamboo steamer tiers. Stack the tiers if using both, and place the steamer into the prepared pot. Cover tightly with the fitted bamboo lid.
• Cook and Serve — Bring the water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Steam food until cooked through, typically 5-15 minutes depending on the item. Once cooked, carefully remove the steamer from the pot and serve directly from the basket.
