    A 14-inch wok with a dome- shaped cover makes a perfect steamer when fitted with a Chinese steaming rack, a 12-inch round cake-cooling rack or a two- inch-high trivet to support the pie plate or bowl.

    If whole fish are not available, fish steaks and fillets are convenient and just as delicious. 6/21/95, San Francisco Chronicle.
