This countertop convection steamer delivers consistent steam distribution and rapid cycle times to support continuous service in cafeterias, hospitals, and high-volume kitchens. Designed for commercial kitchens since 1998, the unit combines electric power with a simplified installation process.
This steamer accepts six pans to handle large batch runs without interrupting workflow. Operators can stage full-size pans and maintain consistent portioning across multiple cycles.
The design eliminates a separate boiler, reducing installation complexity and lowering preventive maintenance tasks. Kitchen staff gain immediate steam generation at the cabinet, which shortens downtime between shifts.
The unit operates at 240 volts, 34.64 amps, and 14,400 watts on a 3-Ph supply to deliver the thermal power required for sustained cooking loads. Facilities planners can size electrical circuits and connections with these specifications for safe, code-compliant installation.
Convection steaming ensures uniform heat transfer across pans, which improves product quality and reduces rework. Chefs achieve repeatable results for protein, vegetable, and starch preparation under continuous use.
Stainless steel exterior and interior surfaces resist corrosion and ease daily sanitation procedures required by institutional food service. Maintenance crews benefit from accessible components that reduce service time during scheduled cleaning.
The unit carries CSA and NSF certifications and meets Energy Star efficiency criteria to support regulatory compliance and lower operating costs. Facility managers can document certification data for audits and sustainability reporting.
