Philia's tips

  • The secret to smooth, unwrinkled buns — never lift the lid as soon as you turn off the heat. Wait 3–5 minutes, then open it just a crack to let the steam out first.

Storing & reheating

  • Cool completely: put the buns on a wire rack as soon as they come out, so steam doesn't make the bottoms soggy.
  • Freezing: once cool, seal them in a zip-lock bag with the air pressed out and freeze straight away (keeps 3–4 weeks). Don't keep them in the fridge — it makes them dry and hard.
  • Reheating: no need to thaw. Steam for 10–15 minutes and they are as soft as freshly made. In the microwave, spray the tops with a little water and heat for 40–60 seconds.
