Contrary to popular belief, steam is invisible. It is not the misty, foggy substance that escapes from a steamer cabinet when the door is opened. That is actually a liquid, though it is “floating.” Since it is super-heated gaseous water, steam contains more heat energy than regular hot air and produces a higher quality food product.

Steamers Education

Is a steamer right for your business?
With steaming being the most efficient method of cooking, pressure and pressureless steamers can make a great addition to any kitchen. Cooking with a steamer is fast and the food retains it’s nutrients and vibrant color.
What are the advantages of using a steamer?
The benefits of using steamers are numerous. Some steaming benefits include maintaining of nutrients in food, the color in food, the quick cook times and the need for less oil and butter while cooking.
Connections and power hook ups
Commercial steamers come in electric, gas, direct steam and steam coil models. Pros and cons of each should be considered before purchase.
Kettles vs. Tilting Skillets
Simmering soups and stews are the perfect use for stationary and tilting kettles. Using a single bottom burner for stews and soups can cause uneven heating and burning.
Combi Ovens
Combi ovens can be a space saver, providing an oven and steamer in one piece of equipment. There are three types of combi ovens: oven, steam and a combination of the two.

Commercial steamers are used to prepare all manner of food items, most notably steamed vegetables and seafood. Since steam is water in its gas form, rather than drying out cooking foods, the foods retain their moisture, color and nutrients. This does not because the steam adds moisture to the food (and potentially make it soggy). Rather, since the cabinet air is so high in humidity, the heat does not draw moisture out of the food. The food simply maintains its own moisture content while cooking; nothing is added or subtracted.

Beyond simply filling a cabinet with pressurized steam, commercial steamers are available that also utilize convection technology to further improve cooking efficiency. Smaller models are available, too, that fit on a countertop for operations with limited space. Large kettles that utilize steam are also available for soup kitchens.
