Setting up dim sum bamboo steamers for the home kitchen is easy. First, use a pot or wok that fits the bamboo steamer. Add water to the pot or wok, ensuring it doesn't touch the bottom of the steamer. Then, place the food inside the bamboo steamer, covered with its lid, on top of the pot or wok. Turn on the heat to bring the water to a boil. Allow it to steam to cook the food. Remember to check the water level while steaming.
