I have researched the mysteries

of bamboo steamers. You use a cabbage/lettuce leaf or parchment paper to line the steamer to make clean up easier and keep odours from permeating the steamer. (It also solves the problem of making sure rice doesn't fall through the weavings.) So parchment paper just went onto the grocery list. I'm getting some broccoli and have some rice, so I'm going to do a trial run soon. Wish me luck. I don't really cook, can you tell?
