Bamboo steamer

Those of us who are into green living are always looking for household items made from bamboo, a plentiful natural resource. I found this one at Williams-Sonoma. Bamboo absorbs excess moisture, so your asparagus spears or cabbage rolls won’t be soggy. And, this steamer has a great energy efficient bonus: two layers for steaming two foods at once. Simply line the bamboo steamer with parchment or reusable cheesecloth, fill with veggies, chicken or both and place in your wok. Having guests for a summertime barbecue? Here’s an idea for a yummy organic appetizer in a bamboo steamer. These organic frozen pot stickers are available at Central Market. Put out a spread of dipping sauces and your guests will love you!
