How to make it
*Before using the steamer, soak it in water to absorb moisture.
This will prevent the steamer from breaking.
1. Put 1 liter of water into a steamer pot and heat it.
*Because the pot is small, if it is not stable, place the included mesh tray underneath before heating.
2) While waiting for the water to boil, arrange the xiaolongbao in the steamer.
Up to four can be lined up in one steamer, but we recommend no more than three as they may stick together.
*If you are using cooking paper, you can leave it as is,
If you use a special spoon for Xiaolongbao, it will stick to the bao if you leave it as it is.
Apply a small amount of oil and then place the xiaolongbao on it.

3. Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat and use a mitt or cloth to avoid getting burned.
Place the steamer with the xiaolongbao on top of the pot and close the lid.
④Turn on the heat and heat for 10 minutes.
⑤After 10 minutes, turn off the heat and use a mitt or cloth to remove the steamer, being careful not to get burned.
Remove from the pot and place on a plate and it's done.
Scrub the steamer with a scrubbing brush without using detergent, and dry it in a well-ventilated place.
