Customer Reviews of Iron Chef 12-Inch Burnished Bamboo Steamer
Customer Rating:   Summary: Nice Steamer that Wears its Logo on its Sleeve. Comment: I was searching for a really nice bamboo steamer that was well constructed, durable, and looked great. It seemed like that this was the Rolls Royce of steamers considering its price so I decided to indulge and purchase this product. So today I got it in the mail and it looked liked what I hoped it would be. Bamboo steamers are very versatile and I wanted to use mine for a variety of reasons. If you only want to use this steamer just to steam, this is a great product, however, I also wanted to use mine as a pie carrier. This item on this website looks deep but it is actually really shallow. There is no way a pie can fit in this steamer so it won't be doing any double duty chores. I guess it is an unfair request to ask a steamer to perform a duty it wasn't meant to do, however, the $10 steamers I get in Chinatown are deep and make great pie and cake carriers. I think that for $40 it is not too much to ask that this steamer be as deep as its lower priced plain wrapped siblings. One thing I like about this steamer is the burnished finish. It looks rich and elegant. Here though is the achilles heel of this steamer; the Iron Chef logo is stamped in black on the side. I couldn't believe this. Bamboo steamers are such simple, utilitarian objects, perhaps one of the greatest cooking inventions ever made. Do you really want to be staring at an Iron Chef logo when you are steaming your vegetables? I sure don't. So I can't use it to carry my apple pie. I can live with that. I can't however, live with advertising on the side of my bamboo steamer. I will be returning this. More Reviews Iron Chef is an innovative cooking competition from Japan. Originally produced by Fuji TV, Iron Chef combined the excitement of a one on one sports competition with gourmet cooking. The title Iron Chef comes from the original Japanese title, Ironmen of Cooking.The bamboo steamer is made from all natural bamboo with an authentic handmade Chinese design. The double-woven lid allows the steam to hover in the top while the bottom keeps the vegetables from soaking in water. One of the healthiest methods of cooking, steaming allows for the foods natural oils and flavors to be released so that no oils are needed. 
Choosing Appliance -> Range Cookers The way you cook is also key to deciding which type of range cooker to choose. No-frills heat storage ranges such as Agas retain heat they have gradually built up and generally have two ovens without temperature controls - the hot oven is for roasting and baking, the cool one for slow cooking/keeping warm. Choosing Appliance -> Stainless steel bowls These are the best all purpose bowls for a multitude of applications. Choose a wide range of sizes (be sure to get a large bowl for whipping egg whites and whipped cream). In general, the heavier the bowl, the higher quality. Iron Chef 12-Inch Burnished Bamboo Steamer
Kitchen tips -> Whipping cream When whipping cream, the cream, bowl, and beaters should be chilled to produce the best volume. |
