Thai Chinese-style stacked steamer, 26 cm
Here is an inexpensive and very effective, intelligently-designed stacked steamer. Made of durable aluminum, this steamer is approximately 11" wide (26 cm which is ideal width, anything bigger and it won't work well on American stovetops) and 13" tall, and is comprised of four separate pieces. The bottom layer holds the water (up to 4 quarts), and fits nicely over any stovetop. The next two layers are similar to racks, as they have holes for letting steam pass through (see picture below). The top piece is a domed lid which is designed to prevent water from dripping on the food, and it accomodates larger food on the top layer. Much better than a bamboo steamer, as it's far easier to clean and can do more. Our favorite steamer especially to make jasmine rice the old-fashioned way (see below for photos and street vendor video). Makes excellent fresh spring rolls and more. Product of Thailand.

We got the following email about the stacked steamer from customer James in Homosassa, Florida: "My wife loves her new rice steamer but she just had to point out at our last model (looked just like the new one) lasted 38 years and was purchased in Korat for 15 Baht (1967, 75 cents US at the time). She says she is sure the new steamer will as long, but is not sure I will."
And this from Lou in San Antonio TX: "I received my steamer today. It's made by Diamond, same as my old one I bought in Thailand in 1973. Again, thank you; great service!!!" |
