Stacked steamer structure
January 19th, 2008
Say that ten times fast. Alton Brown has put up a swanky design for stacked metal steamer baskets on the front page of his website (I’m not linking directly to it because it’s a pdf and if you haven’t already, you should explore his site). Thwarting the specialized steamer pots and bamboo steaming racks (which rock, by the way) with a classic Alton Brown appliance mod.
It pretty much involves using a threaded rod to attach multiple baskets together. I only have one thing to add to his how-to, make absolutely sure to use stainless steel hardware. I’m pretty sure that everyone can agree that oxidizing metal is not good eats.
