All 68 dishes / Steamed dumplings

dumplings/steamed

How long to steam dumplings

Two things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.

Your time 12:00

Fresh or frozen?

Straight from frozen into the steamer. Thawing makes the wrappers stick and tear.

How big?

How to tell without a timer

Serve straight from the basket — they go gluey as they sit.

How it goes

  1. Lined basket, not touching. They fuse if they touch.
Every combination, as a table

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
