The reasons why steamed buns collapse and become lumpy are as follows: the lid of the pot is sealed too tightly, and the bottom of the steamer is not covered with a steaming cloth.

1. The lid of the pot is sealed too tightly, and water droplets accumulate on it.

Steaming steamed buns is a process in which water vapor is constantly in contact with the dough and heated. The water vapor comes out of the pot. While it is in contact with the steamed buns, it must be continuously discharged, otherwise it will be in the pot. The lid forms water droplets. If the water droplets drip on the steamed buns, they will turn into dead dough lumps.

2. There is no steaming cloth on the bottom of the cage, causing water droplets to accumulate.

This is similar to the dripping pot cover above. If there is no steaming cloth on the bottom of the cage, when the water vapor is strong, excess moisture will be produced. If there is no steaming cloth to absorb the moisture, the moisture will directly Gathering at the bottom of the steamed buns will also easily turn the steamed buns into dead noodles.
