Occasionally, I’ll post about cooking tools I’d like to have in the near or distant future. I’m thinking right now about getting a bamboo or stainless steel steamer. This video makes a good argument for bamboo, but the ease of cleaning the metal one in the dishwasher is tempting. The video includes links of where to purchase the steamer and accessories on the YouTube page: http://youtu.be/jpU9Jy9DGqA

I think I’d like to try steamed dumplings, or something with more of a wow factor, like these steamed meat-filled buns. I’m sure it would take some practice to be able to shape them like this chef, who makes it look easy. The recipe is included with the video on the YouTube page: http://youtu.be/9TJeKMErVWw
