3. Benefits

Sustainable and Eco-Responsible

Made entirely from bamboo — one of the fastest-growing renewable materials — this steam cover offers a sustainable alternative to synthetic or metal lids. Bamboo regenerates naturally without the need for pesticides or chemical fertilizers, making it the environmentally conscious choice for Kiwi households and restaurants.

Every use of the Bamboo Steam Cover 185mm reflects New Zealand’s commitment to eco-friendly practices and a cleaner planet. It’s renewable, compostable, and contributes zero waste when it eventually reaches the end of its life cycle.

Perfect Steam Circulation

The carefully handwoven dome design ensures that steam rises evenly and circulates throughout your basket. It locks in heat effectively while allowing gentle ventilation — preventing water droplets from forming and dripping onto food. Your dumplings remain fluffy, your fish stays tender, and your vegetables cook to perfection.

Medium Size, Maximum Performance

With a diameter of 185mm, this bamboo cover fits perfectly on medium-sized steam baskets, making it versatile for both home and commercial kitchens. It’s an excellent choice for single portions or small family servings, ideal for cafés, restaurants, and eco-caterers across New Zealand.

Healthy Cooking, Naturally

Steaming is one of the healthiest cooking techniques available. It keeps your food’s vitamins, minerals, and vibrant colours intact without requiring oil or fat. This bamboo cover complements the steaming process by maintaining steady heat and moisture — allowing you to prepare nutritious, low-calorie meals easily and efficiently.

Durable and Lightweight

Bamboo is incredibly strong yet naturally light. This makes the Bamboo Steam Cover 185mm both easy to handle and resistant to cracking or deformation, even after repeated exposure to heat and steam. Its flexible strength ensures years of dependable use with minimal maintenance.

Adds Authentic Aroma and Taste

Unlike metal or plastic lids, bamboo subtly enhances the aroma of your food. When heated, it emits a light, earthy fragrance that pairs beautifully with steamed dishes, creating an authentic culinary experience reminiscent of traditional Asian kitchens — a flavour Kiwis have come to love and appreciate.

Reusable and Long-Lasting

This cover can be used countless times with simple care. Wash gently with warm water, dry thoroughly, and store in a cool, ventilated area. Bamboo’s natural resistance to stains and odours ensures your lid remains fresh and clean after each use.

Aesthetic Elegance

More than a kitchen tool, this bamboo cover adds elegance to your presentation. Serve your steamed dishes directly at the table with the lid on for a beautiful, natural look that enhances your restaurant or home dining atmosphere.
