KitchenCraft World of Flavours Bamboo Vegetable Steamer (Medium)
Steaming is one of the primary cooking techniques in Chinese cuisine, with everything from dim sum starters to elaborate meat dishes relying on this traditional, gentle cooking method.
This robust bamboo steamer, from KitchenCraft World of Flavours, is all you need to explore this rewarding culinary landscape in your own kitchen. The only extras required are a wok, and a tantalising recipe to try out.
And if you like to entertain, or to show off your latest dishes to your family, then there’s even more reason to love this steamer. The bamboo makes for a simple, beautiful backdrop for your food, so it’s ideal for Asian food nights.

Bamboo Benefits
This steamer is great for cooking and serving, but not just because it looks great. The bamboo is naturally absorbent, so will sop up some of the steam and prevent your food going soggy. This means better presentation, and better flavour!
More Features
Healthy cooking
Using a bamboo steamer is a gentler process than boiling, simmering or poaching food, so it retains its shape, texture, colour and flavour. It’s healthier too, because no oil is required, and vital nutrients are locked in, rather than washed away.
Easy to use
The shape of the bamboo steamer is designed to fit snugly against the sides of a wok, though it works with stockpots too. Simply let the steamer rest above an inch or so of simmering water, to get delicious steamed results.
Two tiers
The two tiers allow you to cook for a number of people or a selection of different foods, from fillets of salmon to portions of rice, dumplings or vegetables.

A Global Culinary Adventure - No Passport Required!
KitchenCraft World of Flavours is a colourful celebration of everything you love about world cuisine. Spanning five countries and three continents, this extensive collection features all the tools you need to replicate your favourite dishes from Spain, Italy, Mexico, China and India.
So, explore, experiment and experience. There's a whole World of Flavours waiting for you to discover.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 April 2024Size: 20 cmStyle Name: SingleVerified PurchaseThe media could not be loaded.
Used a bamboo steamer for the first time and it was easy to use and easy to clean. I made bao buns and lined them with baking paper to protect the bamboo. The two tier basket was helpful in batch cooking and cooked the buns to perfection. The basket is sturdy but I am unsure how long it was last due to bamboo already detached in some corners. Worth the price paid for next day delivery to satisfy my craving for delicious bao buns filled with Korean style chicken 🤤

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 May 2024Size: 20 cmStyle Name: SingleVerified PurchaseVery sturdy steamer and I wouldn’t be without it now.
I use it along with my 18cm pot and it’s a perfect fit.
There are two compartments plus a lid.
So easy to use. Boil some water in pan and add your vegetables into the first compartment. You can use that along with lid but you may want to use both compartments depending on how much is being cooked.
Also can be used with different timings ie hard vegetables first and then add another tier for softer vegetables.
It does get very hot though and care should be taken when removing it from pot.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 November 2021Size: 20 cmStyle Name: SingleVerified Purchaseone of the cheapest at this size. Decently made, bamboo strips are held together with with very small dowels (toothpicks?) and thin slivers of bamboo 'lacing'. Bought primarily as a test for my 6 ltr pressure king pro and fits inside perfectly.
Unfortunately the toothpicks aren't glued in at all and had to push a couple back in, washed and soaked for 30 seconds, which swelled up the wood and tightened them but i'll see how they fare and if they come loose again, I think a dab of titebond 3 glue or similar will help.
Bought some cheap food safe silicon mesh (sold as chip trays) and cut circles out of the correct size to use as inserts. Made some lovely steamed jasmine rice. Overall impressed.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 February 2025Size: 20 cmStyle Name: SingleVerified PurchaseItem is exactly as described and works really well. Recommend using some parchment/baking paper and putting holes in to avoid items sticking. Easy to clean after every use but make sure to air dry it for 24 hours before putting it away
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 February 2025Size: 20 cmStyle Name: SingleVerified PurchaseBefore I used it for the first time, I had to cure the bamboo steamer. I washed it with water to get rid of the dust, then ran it through boiling water, and then rubbed some neutral oil on it when it was dry. Now, every time I use it, I rinse it and put it in the oven for a while at a low temperature to speed up the drying process. I tend to use it with waxed paper so that it doesn't get too dirty or sticky.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2025Size: 20 cmStyle Name: SingleVerified PurchaseOn first use the bamboo strip around the side came off. Seems it can still be used but not impressed
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 December 2024Size: 20 cmStyle Name: SingleVerified PurchaseWell-made lovely bamboo steamer value for money very pleased with my purchase.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 September 2023Size: 20 cmStyle Name: SingleVerified PurchaseAbsolutely love this thing! It's big enough with multiple layers that you can cook most of a meal in one session of steaming (I tend to use one layer for veggies and the other for fish). Fabulous for dumplings as well. Nice and easy to clean, just make sure you lay either baking paper or even lettuce leaves at the bottom of each section when cooking. Stops pesky bits of food getting stuck in the gaps. All you have to do then is rinse and dry!
