Using bamboo steamer baskets to cook food is one of the
best and healthiest methods, as it both enhances the avors
and helps retain nutrients. The traditional steamer is made of
bamboo and is ideal for steaming meats, sh, vegetables, and
dumplings. The NuWave Precision Induction Wok is perfect for
use with your Steamer Baskets in your 8-piece Bamboo Kit.
