Saving energy dollars begins with choosing the right equipment. Learn which energy-smart features can save you the most money and help you to conserve electricity or gas.

ENERGY STAR.

Look for this label. Steamers that have earned this rating offer shorter cooking times, higher production rates, and reduced heat loss due to better insulation and a more efficient steam-delivery system..

Convection steamers.

Some manufacturers have started adding fans to their connectionless steamers for better circulation of air in the cooking compartment and reportedly shorter cooking times.

Low-idle rates.

Some steam generators now qualify as efficient, with their reduced water consumption. Those that feature lower idle energy rates may even be competitive with connectionless models.

Vacuum pumps.

The idea behind this technology is to reduce the air pressure, drop the temperature, and shorten cooking times.

Heated walls.

This feature helps keep the temperature from fluctuating.

Digital programmable controls.

Program your connectionless steamer to operate on full power only when you need it. You will reduce your energy bill.

Built-in temperature sensors.

The purpose of this feature is to detect temperature changes in the cooking cavity, and automatically drop the temperature to a pre-programmed degree setting.

Power-saver mode.

For small loads or single pans, the power can be cut by a third.
