This sticky rice steamer is made from aluminium and measures approximately 20cm high and 23cm in diameter. This steamer is ideal when used with the bamboo baskets (sold seperately or as a set) to cook the glutinous sticky rice perfectly.
The basket is made from woven bamboo to help the glutinous rice from getting too wet during steaming. Water is placed in the bottom of the pot and brought to a boil with the steam cooking the rice in the basket above. Glutinous rice should be soaked overnight before use or at least 4 hours. Rice should cook in about 20 mins and become translucent, a cover can be roughly placed over the basket in order to keep most of the steam from escaping to aid cooking.
