Bamboo Steamers As Storage Bins

I just love this idea from Martha Stewart’s blog. If you don’t know already, I love using furniture or knick-knacks made from bamboo or wood. I was going through some tips on how to organize the kitchen at Martha’s blog, I was delighted to see how she use a bamboo steamer to store onions, shallots and garlic. How come I never thought of using this eh? Bamboo steamers have holes which let the air in or out when steaming. Therefore, these steamers are just perfect for storing items which require ventilation. You can place a tray or plate at the bottom to catch flaking skins or perhaps line it with paper towels. Ok, I am going out to get a few bamboo steamers soon.
