The method of steaming food was invented during the Han Dynasty thousands
of years ago. Legend has it that General Han Xin made cooking utensils from
bamboo and wood to cook food with steam. Through history, steaming has
evolved to be one of the most iconic and essential cooking techniques in the
Chinese culinary lexicon.
The steamer basket replaces the traditional bamboo base with terracotta. This
natural material has efficient liquid absorbing characteristics, meaning it can
absorb any excess moisture generated during steaming, ensuring that the food
is perfectly moist.
The steamer pot and lid are made from fireproof ceramic, which has excellent
heat resistance compared to regular stoneware, making it less likely to crack at
higher temperatures. The JIA steamer pot can be used on open flame gas
stoves and in both conventional and microwave ovens.
