Joyce Chen 2-Tier Bamboo Steamer Baskets, 10-Inch

I wanted to find a different way to cook vegetables because mine were always bland. Everyone was telling me steaming was the way to go, and I bought this one because of the price tag. It is phenomenal! I have steamed broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, asparagus, salmon, and beef in it. They all turned out awesome. Pros: -Easy (I put whatever I want -Quick (Cook times range from 5-20 minutes. Veggies are done in 5-8, and the salmon was even done at 10.) -Heatlhy (Steaming retains more nutrients than boiling or microwaving) -Great tasting (I thought people were just mouthing off, but the vegetables were noticeably better tasting, and I kid you not, the salmon was the best I've ever had!) Cons: -Probably won't last a long time (For the price though, it's really not an issue) -You have to line the trays (I prefer to use big leaves of lettuce, but I have also used wax paper, and even put the salmon in on a small plate) Other thoughts: 10 inches isn't that big when you want to steam a whole meal for 2 people and still leave room for the steam to escape around the edges. However, this size fits my pan, and they are stackable, so I'm going to buy another set to double the trays! I wish it came with a recipe book or steam times because sometimes I'm not sure how long to cook things. Before cooking your meats/veggies, try rolling them in butter or oil and experiment with different herbs. My favorite thing to do is to use broth instead of water in the pan, it adds some extra flavor. You can also throw other things in like garlic cloves or onions.

This bamboo steamer is well made and very easy to use. It heats food evenly and keeps dumplings, vegetables, and buns moist without making them soggy. The two-tier design lets me steam multiple items at the same time, which saves time in the kitchen. It feels sturdy, cleans up easily, and looks great as well.

It's nicely made and has good structure to it, steams really nicely in the wok or a pan that can fit it and steams evenly too. It's very easy to use and not heavy at all and not too big so that it can store well.

I bought this Joyce Chen 10 inch steamer back in mid-2023. It worked well while i used it, and broke in late 2025 after moderate use (2-3 times per month), as one of the sides first warped, then buckled, then finally the interior ring entirely came off. Still used it a bit beyond that, until finally deciding to replace it as it didn't hold steam quite as well with the interior ring missing. My initial thought was to go with a different brand as the Joyce Chen steamer did break after all, and I wasn't sure if 2.5 years was a good lifespan for a bamboo steamer. Well, after buying a different bamboo steamer on Amazon, I realize that the Joyce Chen steamer was probably way better. The [other brand steamer] is only half a month old, so it's still perfectly fine for now, but it just feels cheaper, lighter, and more shoddily made. Even the ties that hold the steamer together were thicker and tougher feeling on the Joyce Chen steamer. My instinct is that [other brand steamer] will last half as long before something cracks, breaks, or snaps, at which point i will shamefully come running back to the Joyce Chen Bamboo steamer. 2.5 years wasn't so bad after all.

Everything I wanted it to be! It worked great, was easy to use, fit right into my pan. High quality material and made cooking time easier.

First of all? This was packaged and delivered perfectly. They used a pleasant feeling thin, 6 foot "rope" to carefully, cleverly, and beautifully hold the steamer together securely. Even better? NO KNOTS! With one pull of the woven rope/string, the steamer was released. It was delightful, showing care for the product and the customer. My second immediate thought is how well it was made compared to my old steamer from years ago. The older one worked fine, but was made of thin bamboo, kind of woven inside on the trays themselves. The best word would be flimsy looking and feeling. It still WORKED, but it was unattractive and looked hastily assembled. This Joyce Chen steamer? Was just beautiful looking, inside and out, using thicker bamboo, and the trays were much sturdier. Frankly, I was delighted by the entire "receiving" experience of this steamer. Care for the customer was obvious, something I see in videos about, for example, Japan, but rarely seen in local manufacturing. It also came with sensible care instructions. I haven't written a review in a few years. I did for this product, because, not only was I delighted? They inspired care reciprocated. I haven't used it yet, but I'm very familiar with using bamboo steamers, and I'm positive it will work beautifully. Love this.

Nice steamer, fits perfectly on top of my frying pan, makes dumplings quickly

Steamer works well, but it did separate one of the pieces of bamboo so I hot glue glued it and it seems to be fine

Este produto é sem duvida de qualidade e de utilidade, é o segundo que compro, sendo que o diâmetro do primeiro era melhor, utilizo para, guiosa, pão de arroz, serve para legumes entre outras utilidades, para cozinhar no vapor. Indico sem dúvida.

Bought this and love the baskets. They work really well for cooking vegetables and gyoza particularly. Put baking paper in to cook gyoza or bao buns and came out really nicely. Can recommend this product.

Extraordinario producto, necesario en cualquier cocina.

The tiers fit together perfectly without juggling which is the problem i had with my previous bamboo steamer.

Awesome purchase. Use it more than I expected
