Convection steamers are electric steamers that use a heating element to heat the water rather than a heat source coming from outside the unit. Convection steamers are electric food steamer that uses a fan instead of a heat source to produce steam. Convection steamers work by circulating hot air throughout the cooking surface of the unit. The hot air will often circulate by a fan or another type of forced air system. The fan pushes the hot air throughout the unit, heating the cooking surface. These heavy-duty appliances are made from stainless steel, cast iron, and aluminum. Some models also have non-stick coatings to make cleaning easier. Convection steamers have a few advantages over traditional steamers. They are more energy-efficient and produce less humidity, which is suitable for the facility’s climate control system. They are also much easier to maintain than traditional steamers, which can be a significant plus for busy kitchens. These come with various settings that allow the owner to choose the amount of steam they want on each dish. Also, the temperature setting can be changed to fit the type of food that is being served. The controls are simple and easy to use.
