Quickly prepare a wide range of foods with a commercial-grade cooking steamer from CKitchen.com. With one of our high-quality steamers, food comes out hot and fresh, and is healthier compared to other cooking methods. You can use a commercial steamer for an assortment of food service applications, including steamed vegetables, seafood, side dishes and more that need to be steamed, poached or stewed. Cooking steamers are also a good choice for restaurants looking for an easy way to thaw or reheat food. Our selection includes steamers in a broad assortment of styles, sizes and price ranges to suit your specific needs.

Steamers come in several different types. One of the most popular options is a commercial convection steamer, which cooks food at 212 degrees Fahrenheit via convective technology. Compared with pressure steamers — which cook food at up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit — convection steamers tend to produce better results due to the lower cooking temperature. With that being said, commercial pressure steamers are a great choice for some applications. They use pressure, which builds gradually throughout the cooking process, to cook foods quickly. Pressure steamers are typically larger with a higher volume output, so they’re ideal for larger establishments.

You may also prefer a steamer-kettle combination, which includes a convection steamer and a kettle which is useful for cooking sauces, soups and stews. CKitchen.com has commercial-grade restaurant steamers in a variety of unique sizes. Both convection and pressure steamers are available in floor or countertop models to suit your needs. Countertop steamers are ideal for smaller operations or commercial kitchens that need to maximize floor space, while free-standing floor steamers are more appropriate for expansive restaurant kitchens requiring extra space for regular steaming. All of these units come backed by a low-price guarantee when you buy from CKitchen.com.

Countertop Steamers

Countertop steamers are desgined to either naturally circulate the heat and steam within the cabinet or they are desgiend with a "forced air". Either one is considered a convection steamer. Convection steamers are ideal for smaller to medium duty kitchens. They are small in profile and can be used to steam, poach and stew food. They can also be used to thaw out or reheat food. They can cook food quickly but they are gentle enough to not make them inedible should an operator lose track of time.
