rolando, that sounds like a good idea, that is, using banana leaves for steaming. the puto bumbong would really smell good, too. i, myself, do not have a puto bumbong steamer so i will buy one when i go to the philippines on december for a short vacation.

I was able to order my Puto Bumbong steamer right according to the material that I want. It is standard in the Philippines to use galvanized steel metal which to me is unhealthy for steaming. Galvanized steel is coated with zinc which can contaminate your food with zinc. So what I have ordered is made of stainless steel. I would not recommend using aluminum foil for steaming, it causes Alzheimer’s disease. I would rather use banana leaves to steam it. Just posting this so you don’t forget about taking care of your health.

You want to cook Puto Bumbong? and your problem is: no Puto Bumbomg Steamer…
Rejoice!!! You can do it without it. Just have aluminum foil and a regular food steamer.
Have the PB mixture ready and roll it into the presized aluminun foil(3″x5″) and steam it in batches. Steam for about 1.5 minutes to 2.5 minutes depending on the thickness of your rolls. Unwrap it.(Save your wrappers for the next batch) Using a stick or fork, place it on banana leaves(or saucer), add margarine , sugar and grated coconut. Taste great as if you are in the Philippines eating beside the church and missing the mass. :)
