Bamboo steamer 2 (蒸篭) in the middle of cooking

This is a model of a Chinese-style bamboo steamer in actual use. In order to keep the several steam rising from the pot from escaping, the diameter of the steaming basket must be about the same as the diameter of the pot, or the cooking effect will be reduced. If the steamer basket is too large, it will take longer to steam the ingredients and cause cooking spots. If the steamer basket is too small, the steamer basket will fall into the pot, making it impossible to cook in the first place. Therefore, it is important to choose a pot that matches the size of the steamer basket. Or, before buying a steamer, you should measure the size of the pot you have in your house in advance and buy a steamer that is just the right size for it. If you go to Chinatown, you may be able to find a set that includes a steamer basket and a pot. If you don't mind having more pots, you can buy such a set and not have to worry about the size problem. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
