HS aluminum Laos pot with bamboo basket 1 set 22cm

Detailed Description:

1. Aluminum Pot (22 cm):

   • The pot is made of lightweight aluminum, known for its excellent heat conductivity and durability. It has a wide opening that accommodates the bamboo basket comfortably. The 22 cm diameter is a practical size for steaming rice for a small to medium household.
   • Heat Distribution: The aluminum ensures even heat distribution, which is essential for effective steaming.
   • Design: The pot is designed with a broad base and tall sides, making it perfect for holding water without it boiling over and ensuring the steam flows effectively up through the basket.

2. Bamboo Basket:

   • The bamboo basket is woven in a traditional style, designed to rest inside the aluminum pot but slightly above the water level to prevent the rice from getting wet.
   • Material: Bamboo is ideal for steaming as it allows the steam to circulate through the food, gently cooking it while imparting a mild, pleasant aroma.
   • Shape: The basket is typically conical or bowl-shaped, which helps rice cook evenly without sticking to the basket.

How It Works:

• The pot is filled with water, and the basket is placed inside it, just above the waterline.
• Sticky rice is soaked in water for a few hours, then placed in the bamboo basket. The pot is then covered with a lid (or sometimes a cloth), and the steam cooks the rice evenly while keeping it tender.

This Laos pot and bamboo basket set is an authentic tool for preparing sticky rice but can also be used to steam vegetables, dumplings, and other foods.
