Product Overview
Pick up this great gift idea. This sleek steamer set gives an ancient cooking technique a contemporary touch. The method of steaming food was invented during the Han Dynasty thousands of years ago in China. Legend has it that General Han Xin made cooking utensils from bamboo and wood to cook food with steam. Today steaming has evolved to be one of the most essential cooking techniques in the Chinese culinary lexicon and is practiced worldwide to mellow vegetables' flavors without losing their crunch. The steamer basket replaces the traditional bamboo base with terracotta a natural material that efficiently absorbs excess moisture generated during the steaming process. The steamer pot and lid are made from fireproof ceramic which has excellent heat resistance and resists cracking. Taking the needs of modern cooks into consideration the steamer pot can be used on open flame gas stoves and in both the oven and microwave. Made in China.
