Sticky rice steamer set

**Thai sticky rice steamer set** is a traditional cooking apparatus used to steam sticky rice (also known as glutinous rice), a staple in Thai and Lao cuisine. The set typically includes two main components:

1. **Aluminum or Stainless Steel Pot :** This is the pot where water is boiled to create steam. It's usually wide at the base and narrows slightly towards the top, allowing it to hold a significant amount of water.

2. **Bamboo Steaming Basket (Huat Sticky Rice Basket):** The bamboo basket is conical or rounded in shape and is placed over the pot. Sticky rice is placed inside this basket, where it is steamed. The open weave of the bamboo allows steam to circulate evenly, cooking the rice thoroughly while allowing excess moisture to escape.

### How It Works:
- **Preparation:** Sticky rice is soaked in water for several hours (typically 4-8 hours) before steaming. After soaking, the rice is drained and placed in the bamboo basket.
- **Steaming:** The pot is filled with water, and the bamboo basket containing the rice is placed on top of the pot, ensuring that the basket doesn’t touch the water. The steam from the boiling water cooks the rice evenly.
- **Serving:** Once the rice is fully cooked, it is often transferred to a sticky rice container (like the "kratip") to keep it warm and ready to serve.

This steamer set is an essential tool in Thai and Lao cooking, used to achieve the perfect texture for sticky rice, which is a key component in many traditional dishes.
