Pretty well what I do as well with steam.  Before getting to the point of steaming I will ensure that I’m to one single growth ring on the belly wood at the tips.  This helps with prevent lifting when bending.  I also use a stainless steel band attached to my jig to assist with this too.  This helps with getting tighter bends in hickory.  Like others have said already I also let it sit for a bit till cool then hit it with dry heat to set them.   Best of luck.
