Why Choose Steam Cooking for Your Kitchen?
- Healthier & More Nutritious: Steam cooking requires no added fats or oils. It is one of the best methods for preserving the vitamins, minerals, and vibrant colors of your ingredients, far better than boiling which leaches them away.
- Superior Food Quality: Food retains its natural texture, moisture, and flavor. There is no risk of scorching, burning, or drying out, ensuring a consistently high-quality product.
- Incredible Speed & Efficiency: Steam is an extremely efficient medium for transferring heat, allowing it to cook food much faster than many other methods. This increases kitchen throughput and productivity.
- High-Volume Production: Steamers are designed to handle large quantities of food at once, making them ideal for hotels, hospitals, schools, and catering operations.
A Guide to Commercial Steam Equipment
- Convection Steamers (Pressureless): The most versatile and popular type of steamer. It uses a fan to circulate steam, cooking food quickly and evenly. They are perfect for a wide range of foods, including vegetables, seafood, poultry, and starches. Available in compact countertop models and high-capacity floor models.
- Pressure Steamers: These units cook with steam under low pressure (5-15 PSI), which raises the cooking temperature and dramatically reduces cooking times. They are the fastest solution for high-volume institutional cooking of items like root vegetables and frozen foods.
- Steam-Jacketed Kettles: These are large, stationary kettles that cook massive batches of liquid-based foods like soups, stews, sauces, and chili. Steam circulates in a jacket around the kettle, providing incredibly even heat without direct contact, preventing scorching.
- Combi Ovens: While a category of their own, combi ovens are masters of steam cooking. They offer pure steam modes and can combine steam with convection heat for ultimate versatility. (Explore our Combi Ovens here).
Choosing Your Steam Source: Boiler vs. Boilerless
- Boiler-Based Steamers: Feature a separate, internal reservoir that generates a large volume of "dry" steam. They are ideal for constant, all-day steaming in high-volume operations like large hotels and hospitals.
- Boilerless (Connectionless) Steamers: Create steam by injecting water directly onto a heated element inside the cooking chamber. They are simpler, easier to maintain, and more energy-efficient, making them a great choice for most restaurants and cafes with low to medium volume needs.
