M.V. Trading ST40 3-Tier Aluminum Steamer, 16-Inch

This is exactly what my grandma used when we were growing up. It's a huge steamer! I found it for $30 less in the Chinese district in San Diego, but I don't live there. I was visiting. If you are from a small town, buying this product from Amazon is worth the extra money. It works for steaming of course, but you can use the bottom as a huge pot to make soups too.

This is an excellent product. Fantastic for the large dimsum we make. It is HUGE so doesnt fit any cupboard in the house and i have to store it in the basement, but i am really glad i bought it. It makes lots of the dumplings exactly what i need for the large family gatherings. One complaint is that when i washed it, i got a scratch with quite a lot of blood: the holes are cut in a precarious way, but i got use to it, just being careful.

This pot is huge, much bigger than I expected, I love it. I can steam so many tamales with it! I only rated it 4 stars because it arrived with a little dent from shipping, but no big my husband fixed it.

It’s good to steam anything for big patch including to make steamed bread

16 inch 3-Tier Aluminum SteamerMuch more effective and efficient than a traditional tamale steamer. I like easily organizing hot and mild between two product tiers. It should last a lifetime if well cared for. But should I screw mine up somehow I will be buying another pronto. I'll never go back to using a traditional tamale steamer.A single tier is all I need for a massive load shrimp and crab.This bad boy is huge. I cook huge. Consider a smaller diameter model if you don't need maximum capacity.I am very satisfied. Easily one of the better products I've purchased on Amazon.This steamer is aluminum, not steel or pot metal. Proper care is required to keep it from getting dinged up. This is not a pot you give to a toddler to bang on with a spoon.

We use this steamer primarily for steaming whole rockfish Chinese Style. Perfect, easy to clean.

I received it today, and I accidentally discovered that one of the sides of the steamer was deformed. I am not sure if it was hit when it came or it was defective.... In addition, the packaged box is too thin, I have reason to believe that he May be the cause of the damage。 Follow-up~I am sorry, I sent it back so late. The box that was originally packaged was very thin and damaged. I thought for a long time before I came up with this method to pack the steamer. It is a bit unsightly, but I believe it will not hit again!

This all aluminum steamer has two trays sixteen inches in diameter, together with the water reservoir and lid. Each of the two trays is approximately six inches deep. One tray has relatively small holes, while the other has larger ones nearly a half inch in diameter. Each tray will easily hold 36-48 tamales (maybe more) and although I am very satisfied with how well it functions, I probably would have been happier with the smaller 12 or 14" version. It is probably best for someone who prepares large batches of food. If I had a larger freezer I could take full advantage of it's capacity.
