Thank you for the ideas! I want to try making piggy dumplings as I’ve never had any type of dumplings really, but I don’t own a steamer or a wok and I don’t think my mom would buy them just so I can make cute food
Thank you Austin Powers!
So the wok and the bowl both have water?
The idea with the wok is so good. Ive been delaying trying to make bao cause i didnt have the steamer but now i have no excuse!
It’s almost one am, I’m sick with bronchitis on a Tuesday morning and probably not going to school today, and I’m absolutely starving.
thank you 🙂
This video may saved may first steamed buns I made 🙂
Thank you good sir
how about a rice cooker?
Hi, so your box suggests you can steam without a steamer, the instructions are a bit weak so we went to watch this video and I don't think it is good enough, it shows how you could do it if you have a steamer first which we don't have. then it eventually gets onto how to do it without a steamer but then does need a wok and a large bell type lid. we got inventive with a jam pan, a cookie cutter for spacer balancing a plate. you need to show more inventive solutions and drop the bits where people are using actual steamers, if we had a steamer there wouldn't be a problem!
Omg Jeremy thank you !!
You can also use a colander
1:59 is there a pot full of boiling water underneath that?
He is so handsome!!
Jeremy is hottt
the camera work is horrible. too hard to watch
I'm going to have to make Char Siu Bao using this method, I've never had Steamed Bao before
How about using a rattan paper plate holder as a cover for the pot….would that work?
Has anyone considered using corks as a lid? I know it hasn't become a product yet, but cork has two advantages, first of all they are insulative, meaning that steam will heat up the bottom of the cork lid above dew point, second but not least, they are vapour open, meaning that excessive amount of water vapour can pass through cork.
Is grease proof paper just parchment paper?
I already have the cooking equipment I want. Plus I live in Australia so could you make more subtle references to your products and then do the hard sell at the end? Comes across as more of an infomercial than a cooking video. I don't need steak knives, I do need cooking advice.
Sesame chicken video?
Hey, love the vids, but why are they so quiet? Compared to the majority of the other channels I watch, u might as well be wispering
I have a aluminum steamer I got from an Asian grocery store. It is 15" across and 3 tier. I also use the cloth method. I use the flat weave diaper material. It has a finished edge and after I use it, I wash it by hand with liquid dish soap and hang it on an indoor drying rack after.
I don't use wax paper and instead line the bottom and side of each tier with one cloth and the lid with another one. I find this better than a wax paper because the cloth allows for more steam and faster cooking time. The cloth on the side of each tray helps prevent water from running into the center and channels it off to the side so food does not get soggy.
Big props to the team behind the camera! You guys deserve love too! Hopefully you get to eat the food too 🙂
ERATTA: The steamer shown at 0:36 appears to be at least 1" too narrow for the wok it is placed in. The result is there is less room for water under it, and you'd need to keep refilling the wok with boiling water every 10-15 mins, which can be tedious. A wider one would ride higher in the pan, and have room for more boiling water underneath, which also yields more steam due to the larger surface area. A win win.
A steamer should be no more than 1" less than the lip to lip diameter of your wok, and for a dutch oven it should match exactly.
After having put it off myself for many years, i finally gave in and bought a bamboo steamer set earlier this year (most come with 2 trays by default and are ordered by diameter and how many extra trays you want). Once I used it I inmediately began kicking myself for not having gotten one ages ago, because theyre not only great but inexpensive.
There is NO REASON NOT TO GET ONE. I got mine on amazon for like $12-15. Worth every penny.
