It's a bun steamer for making bakpao (Chinese bread dumplings)

>>8897882
it's a bamboo steamer. you can steam random shit like a pleb or you can make some good chinese food. it up to you.
steamed spared rib w/ black bean sauce and steamed egg custard is a good combo w/ rice.

>>8897880
Isn't that the thing that Jiro uses to waft his rice for hours so stupid goys will pay $80 per serving for it?

>>8897967
Not OP, but that's pretty much all I use mine for. What else is there that I can make? Preferably without needing a fuckton of fancy Chinese ingredients that are hard to get.

>>8897990

You could do pierogis. Serve that up with some sour cream, paprika seasoning and a dollop of your favorite hot sauce.

For some reason these things always bothered me cause I have this weird notion that the process of using them is too inefficient, even though that's completely dumb.

It's a meme, my partner has one. It sits in the back of the cabinet collecting dust with the quesadilla maker.

>>8899103
>quesadilla maker
Wtf.
Happy cinco de mayo

the bamboo ones are pretty annoying
my mum has one and it's a bit of a pain to put together if you've just steamed something with it because it's hot and it only fits together one way. It also started to fall apart after the first use. Every time it's used a bit of bamboo falls off
I got my girlfriend a metal one and it's infinitely better

>>8899103
>my partner
This shit has gotten so confusing. "my partner" used to mean a gay couple and now straight couples are saying "my partner" too. You have to tread on eggshells these days.

>bamboo steamers are one off shit

I agree. Why not just get this? I mean who the fuck loads up multilayer steaming food, which is the only difference, that takes the same amount of time to cook? It's a gimmick to sucker hipsters who think because they're using bamboo somehow it's more authentic.

It actually doesn't need to be bamboo but I'll tell you why and listen closely.

You put the protein in the top, why you ask? Because the fat drips down in flavors the second layer which is the vegetables. Then the remainder of fat and the sweat from the vegetables hits the last level, the rice, which is now flavored by boty the vegetables and meat

I like it for fish
Parchment paper on the bottom so the fish doesnt fall through.
Put in some whitefish or salmon, some bom choy or asparagus, add potatoes or corn on the cob.
Boil some broth in a pot thats big enough to fit the baskets & steam til fully cooked
I like a veggie broth with some coconut milk, basil, mint, cilantro & some red pepper flakes personally

throw some sweet potatoes in there for a bit. you'll have some pretty good treats.

>Did i get memed?

Boy, I sure wasn't ready for 2017 to be like this

>>8899407
I get what you are saying, but I must ask: Who the fuck steams meat?

No, seriously, I have never eaten steamed meat and don't know any dishes that use it, could you give usd an example?

>>8899607
You are not alone, anon. This nightmarish hellscape has only begun too...

Fucking cancer everywhere these days. Its not even contained to 4chan anymore. Its basically everyone at this point.

What did you expect? That is what cancer does: it spreads.

>>8899626
I steam salmon from time to time, I also don't like the taste of salmon too much. Shrimp or any shellfish are pretty good steamed.

>>8899633
It's turning into some kind of near-future common English vernacular at this point. It's the sort of thing you'd read in dialog in a sci-fi novel from the 80s.

>>8899208
To me at least, it has volume and less hastle than a conventional steamer. Say I'm doing pork and shrimp shu mai, when i do this I'm usually making it with friends and there will be 5-6 people together waiting to be fed. I can stack one of these with 50 or so dumplings and still have room. Then it takes about 20 minutes or so giving me time to finnish the soup. Really though there isn't an upper limit for how many of these that can be stacked when they're well made, which makes them handy in restaurants.

>meme

kek. One of the first things I did when I came to 4chan was look at the FAQ's where they have a very clear definition of "meme." I would issue a challenge to anyone to come up with a definition for it based on the current usage in 3 days worth of browsing /ck/. You cannot. It has no meaning whatsoever.

>>8899740
It seems like it gets used as both a noun and a verb where "meme" means anything or its associated pattern (image macro, distorted rand paul, etc.) which is then spread by others online. Then the verb "to meme" means to spread, or create with the intention of spreading, a meme. Then the reflexive form "to be memed" means to be taken on the wave of a meme's spreading, like being the but of the meme's joke.

It's getting really complex.

>>8899740
>>8899748
literally, you get memed

I thought if there is a Wikipedia article about it, it's a meme.

>>8897880
Learn to make mantou. It's literally the easiest bread recipe and your steamer will make the end results much better than mine (I have to use a fucking pot and sometimes they come out all soggy like).

>>8899206
Or maybe anon wanted to keep their gender as well as sexual orientation neutral?

>>8897880
Easy mode:
Go to a local international grocery and peruse the freezer section for frozen buns and dumplings that look delicious. I'm very partial to red bean paste buns and BBQ pork buns, lotus seed paste is also good, so is taro root. For dumplings I get pork and black mushroom or pork, shrimp, and chives. Put 1-2 cabbage leaves on each level of your bamboo steamer like a liner, put the buns or dumplings in, and put your bamboo steamer over a pot of boiling water until they're sticky outside and hot inside. You can also steam green beans or other veggies in one of these.

Hard mode:
Learn how to cook Cantonese food.

Make your own Pork Sui Mai or other chinese dumplings, or just use it to steam bok choy or gai lan or w/e. https://youtu.be/vm3ySpeHF9s

Steamed buns.. sounds pervy.

>>8897894
this is a good plan b..

>>8897880
Use either baking parchment or cabbage leaves to line it so that stuff doesn't stick to the slats. You can also oil it.

They're good for steaming Chinese stuff like buns and dumplings. You can also do stuff like fish in them too.

I mostly used mine for steaming frozen dumplings that I bought at the asian grocery store.

Steam bread. If the meat is in raw dough when you steam the bread, you get bao, aka the best thing on the dim sum shop when it's cold out. Otherwise, steam hotdog bun, just like New York

If it's 2chink4u you can use it to cook tamales lmao

>>8897880
steam fish would be great
