Using this puto bumbong steamer is a breeze. First, prepare your puto bumbong batter as you normally would. Then, place the batter in the bamboo tubes. Put the tubes in the steamer. Fill the steamer with water and heat it up on your stovetop. Let the cakes steam until they're cooked through. As for maintenance, after each use, wash the steamer with warm soapy water and dry it thoroughly. Be careful when handling the steamer while it's hot to avoid burns. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting.
