This fundamental tool is designed to fit inside the wok, and can be
used one at a time or stacked one on top of another. You may line the steamer
with cheesecloth and place food on top of it for cooking, or simply place the
steamer onto plates when serving. The steamer should sit approximately one inch
above the boiling water inside the wok, and the water should be replaced as it
evaporates during cooking. When cleaning the steamer, be sure to avoid using
detergent -- the bamboo will absorb the flavor of the soap, so instead simply
rinse with water.
