If you are, you are totally right about the not covering it with a towel. But those conical steamers are hard to find here in North America. So what we have here are those that look like ordinary caldero....any steam that goes up to the lid, goes down again. In order to prevent those water droplets from falling on the puto or cuchinta, the towel does the job! Lihia...it says on the bottle...Orient brand. I bought this at the Pinoy store here. I haven't used a bamboo steamer for my cuchinta. I am sure it will work...might not need the towel as Chris said since it is made out of bamboo. I would think the moisture will be ABSORBED by the wood. Different story though for the metal steamers looking like a caldero...moisture will not go anywhere. It will stay on the lid and fall down.
