Commercial kitchens located in a building with a central boiler and steam lines should opt for a pressure steamer with either coil or direct steam hookups. Coil models utilize steam lines that tie directly into the building supply to heat the water in the steam generator or boiler. If the building’s steam supply is certified as food safe, a direct steam unit is ideal because the supply lines inject steam directly into the cooking cabinet.
Restaurants that do not have centralized steam will need either an electric or gas-powered unit. These use standard burners that are either submerged or heat the outside of the generator to produce the necessary steam. Depending on which type you select, it is important to double check either the voltage or gas inlet size to make sure it is compatible with your utility hookup.
