 How do you get that bamboo scent out of a bamboo steamer? Weird question, I know, but my wife asked if I could make siu mai that didn't have bamboo flavoring from the steamer. My steamer is about two years old, I've used it 10-15 times. The bamboo scent it leaves behind isn't obnoxious to me. Others might even like it. But I'm trying to make my main customer happy. That bamboo scent hasn't been on any dim sum I've had at dim sum parlors. Maybe my steamer is still "new"? What do you have to do, boil the thing for a while?  |

| You answered your question a little. If you soak your steamer in vinegar,salt and hot water for an hour,then boil it for 15 minutes this will do the trick Happy steaming

| I gave up using my steamer for that very reason. Then somebody used it over a pan that was a bit too small and singed the edge. Now everything tastes of burned bamboo. I think I'll get a new one and "season" it properly. Thanks CC and thanks Live_to_cook for asking. Jock |
