Bamboo Steam Cover Deep 8"

1. Product Description

Beautifully handcrafted and sustainably designed, the Bamboo Steam Cover Deep 8" (205mm) captures the essence of eco-living and traditional cooking — a perfect match for New Zealand homes, cafés, and restaurants that value quality, health, and environmental consciousness.

Made from 100% natural, sustainably harvested bamboo, this deep-dome steam cover offers exceptional performance, long-lasting durability, and natural elegance. Measuring 205mm (8 inches) in diameter and designed with a deep, domed profile, it fits standard bamboo steam baskets and trays, helping you achieve perfectly cooked, aromatic dishes every time.

The Bamboo Steam Cover Deep 8" combines heritage craftsmanship with modern functionality. Each lid is handwoven by skilled artisans using precision weaving techniques passed down through generations. The tight bamboo weave traps steam efficiently while allowing air to circulate evenly, ensuring that food remains moist, flavourful, and tender without becoming soggy.

The deep dome design provides extra internal space for stacked buns, dumplings, or vegetables, while the natural bamboo structure absorbs excess condensation — preventing water droplets from dripping onto food. This makes it ideal for both home kitchens and professional commercial use across New Zealand.

Unlike metal or plastic lids, bamboo offers a natural, chemical-free cooking experience, infusing food with a delicate earthy aroma that enhances flavour. It’s biodegradable, reusable, and fully aligned with Aotearoa’s commitment to sustainable living and clean, green innovation.

Whether you’re steaming dumplings for a Wellington café, fish in an Auckland restaurant, or vegetables for your Christchurch home, the Bamboo Steam Cover Deep 8" delivers performance, authenticity, and eco-consciousness in one beautifully simple design.

3. Benefits

Sustainability and Environmental Care

The Bamboo Steam Cover Deep 8" is made from one of the most sustainable materials in the world. Bamboo grows rapidly without fertilisers or pesticides and regenerates naturally after harvesting. Choosing bamboo products helps reduce reliance on plastics and supports a healthier planet — perfectly aligned with New Zealand’s environmental values and love for eco-conscious living.

This cover’s biodegradable composition ensures zero waste at the end of its long life cycle, embodying the Kiwi spirit of sustainability.

Deep Dome Design for Versatile Cooking

The deep shape of this bamboo cover allows for extra vertical space, perfect for larger or multi-layered steamed dishes. It’s suitable for cooking stacked dumplings, buns, or seafood without crowding. The dome traps steam efficiently and distributes it evenly, ensuring uniform cooking for every layer.

Even Steam Circulation

The handwoven bamboo fibres create a breathable structure that allows steam to flow naturally. This prevents uneven cooking and ensures each dish remains tender and aromatic. The bamboo absorbs excess moisture and prevents condensation, protecting food texture and maintaining freshness.

Healthier Cooking Made Simple

Steaming is a natural, low-fat cooking method that preserves vitamins and minerals while maintaining the vibrant colours and natural flavours of your ingredients. This bamboo lid enhances that process by locking in nutrients and reducing the need for oils or additives — ideal for New Zealanders focused on wellness, clean eating, and balanced diets.

Durable and Lightweight

Despite being made from a natural material, bamboo is renowned for its strength. The Bamboo Steam Cover Deep 8" is resilient enough to handle daily use, even in busy restaurant environments. It resists heat and moisture, maintaining its shape and integrity for years. At the same time, it remains incredibly lightweight and easy to handle.

Natural Aroma and Authentic Taste

When heated, bamboo releases a subtle, earthy scent that enhances the aroma of your food. This gentle fragrance creates an authentic and comforting steaming experience, making it a favourite among Kiwi food lovers who enjoy Asian-inspired cuisine or traditional healthy meals.

Reusable and Low Maintenance

This steam cover can be reused hundreds of times with minimal care. Simply rinse it after use with warm water, let it air dry, and store it in a well-ventilated space. Bamboo’s natural resistance to odours and stains makes it hygienic and easy to maintain.

Elegant Presentation

With its warm golden hue and intricate weave, the Bamboo Steam Cover Deep 8" adds elegance to both cooking and serving. Many New Zealand restaurants use bamboo covers as part of their food presentation, taking dishes straight from the steamer to the table — combining authenticity and beauty in one seamless motion.
