You don't have to have a proper steamer set-up if you want to try those dim sums. Just grab yourself a big pot - stock pot for example - lay a couple of chop-sticks across the bottom, invert a bowl over the chop-sticks, and place your plate on which you'll be steaming the dim sums on top of this. Fill with water to below the level of the top (which is actually the bottom) of the bowl, bring up to a rolling simmer, put in the dish with the dim sums on it, and cover with the lid. Or even more easily, put a colander inverted into the bottom of a stock pot and put the dish on top and cover.
Cheers!
