I don't have a traditional steamer; so I used a pot, colander strainer, and lid.

I've never baked them before, so I'm not sure how the skins would turn out. I would think the skins would burn before the meat was cooked through.

so maybe should I precook the meat then?

I love siu maai (and most of the chinese dim sum fare)
try it with chili garlic oil and (some sesame oil)

it's good if you fry it too (after steaming). them dip it in lemon and soy sauce mix

from my experience baking it directly dries it out. specifically the wrapper
a steam bath while baking may do the trick (it's just like steaming)

precooking the meat may cause it not to stick to the wrapper especially if it's open faced like what you did
maybe if you seal the wrapper so the insides won't escape

Those are good points.

If you're looking for an alternate way of cooking them, I'd use less filling in each wrapper and sealing them all the way. Then boiling them to make wonton soup. You'll know when they are done when they float to the top.
