SUNRISE Stainless Steel Dim Sum Steamer (11")

These are restaurant quality stacking steamer baskets that should last forever. The available lids (sold separately by the seller) fit right ,and they don't let the condensed steam drip on your buns. They cost a little more , but are much heavier than the bulk of most standard household steamers available on Amazon. I'm well pleased. I've purchased three. This allows me to make two dozen steamed onion buns at one time . They freeze well and can be thawed by steaming, for three or four minutes, then made golden brown in a toaster oven in a few minutes. They're awsome!

I have purchased and returned a ton of bamboo steamers because they all get the same problems: poor construction, splintering, and flimsy. I decided to pay more and try stainless steel, which there are not a lot of. I spent $80 on a 2-tier stainless steel steamer basket that came from China. It took a long time and was very flimsy and cheap. I should have went with this brand. It’s not the best workmanship like All Clad or something but it’s very thick stainless steel that doesn’t feel flimsy and is very durable. I threw it in the dishwasher and it came out perfectly fine. I did see some tiny rust stains but it wasn’t significant on altered the way this thing cooks. I love the modularity of this steamer basket as I can buy another tier or two when I need it. Spend a little extra and get this one if you have run into the same problems as I have. I got the 8.5” which is plenty large to fit 6 soup dumplings very comfortably. Usually my wife and I take a single tier each but it’s nice to be able to buy it tier by tier and expand our steaming capabilities! Disregard the bad reviews IMO and just try this one.

This fits on one of my 12 inch pans, the lid for the pan also worked to cover the basket. The metal is high quality and the parts are welded together. I have used two of these for a couple of months and they are just like new. I also throw them in the dishwasher to clean. Much much better than bamboo baskets.

Just like the steamer our favorite Chinese restaurant uses. Exactly what we were looking for. Very good quality and excellent for our home-made Chinese dumplings, buns, etc. Very to clean.

Great! No rusting yet and sturdy. The price could be a little lower but it’s big enough
