Steaming the buns is short, using 17 or 18 minutes is enough. Steaming meat-filled buns tends to take a little longer than regular buns, 20 or so minutes.
One more thing to note, after steaming, do not be in a hurry to open the lid, stay on the stove with the fire off for five minutes and then off the fire for three minutes before you can open the lid.
Don't rush to remove the drawer after the buns are steamed. Remove the top lid of the drawer and continue steaming for 3-5 minutes. When the top of the cage buns quickly dry knot, remove the drawer flip buckle on the board, remove the drawer cloth. This way, the buns will not stick to either the cloth or the board. Wait a little while and then unload the second cage, and so on in turn.
