The first impression

Packaging and contents

Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

*The maximum score is 100 points

The Dimono® bamboo steamer comes with well thought-out product protection that takes environmental considerations into account and avoids unnecessary packaging waste. The compact packaging ensures safe and undamaged shipping of the item without excessive waste of resources.
The steamer’s packaging demonstrates good sustainability with fully recyclable cardboard packaging that helps reduce waste and environmental impact. However, the plastic used is not environmentally friendly and could be improved.
The steamer set consists of a bamboo steamer with two shelves and a matching lid. Also included are two cotton cloths that are perfectly matched to the inserts to ensure hygienic and gentle food preparation.
Handling the steamer is largely self-explanatory and makes it easy to use. An enclosed instruction manual would be particularly helpful for beginners with no prior knowledge to exploit the full potential of this traditional bamboo steamer. Clear instructions would make the preparation of healthy dishes even easier and more successful.
