When my sister-in-law bought this, I took it right off her car to have it photographed with a promise to have it returned, of course. Well, photography is done but it’s still with me. Shall I give it a test drive, see how well it fares against its traditional cousin, the bamboo steamer? I don’t see why not except I haven’t got a bamboo steamer. It is just the coolest steamer I’ve seen to date and will complement a modern kitchen very well. I’m not familiar with the name OSHINO, it sounds Japanese but the tagline “Home Applicances for 21st Century” seems appropriate.

May I know how much does your sister-in-law bought this cookware?

I haven’t seen anything like this before but I do like it a lot. Quite an ingenious idea.

The steamer is approximately RM700 in Malaysian Ringgit which is approximately B$/SGD$318. If you can get past this number I’m sure you’ll have years of productivity with this item.

Paula,
When I first saw this, I was stunned as it never crossed my mind that a metal version of bamboo steamer existed. Quite an ingenious idea that combines tradition, increased thermal effectiveness, longevity and more importantly in today’s health conscious society, hygiene.

Bought a set recently at a promo. Brown spots appear after 1st washing and left to air-dry. Look like rust. If it is stainless steel, why would it rust? Would anyone know the manufacturer and their contact/address?
