1. Try rinsing your steamer with hot water if there is no food sticking to the bottom and inside walls of your bamboo steamer basket. No need for soap in this situation.



2. Now if there is food stuck to the bottom and inside walls of your joyce chen steamer, use a tiny amount of MILD dish detergent.

Also use a soft cloth and clean your steamer by hand. Avoid completely dipping your steamer inside your dish water.



3. After you have removed the food, its time to rinse your steamer completely in hot water.

What i have learned is that using to much soap will give your future meals a soapy taste so PLEASE only use a tiny amount (just a drip) of soap only while trying to remove stuck on food.

4. After your bamboo steamer basket is clean, use a soft cloth to soak up the extra water.



5. Most times i just allow my steamer to sit out on my counter top, out of the sun light to air dry for a whole day before i place it in my cabinet.
