One of the most common equipment on food stalls is a steamer. It cooks well and does its job pretty much perfectly. Steaming works by boiling water continuously, causing it to vaporize into steam; the steam then carries heat to the nearby food, thus cooking the food. The food is kept separate from the boiling water but has direct contact with the steam, resulting in a moist texture to the food.

Siopao, siomai, dumplings, and other foods can be cooked through steamer. Now, let’s take a look at how to use it.
