The benefits of making a combi unit a part of your cooking arsenal will open up many doors for your menu planning thereby enhancing your repertoire of cooking feats.
Steamed menu items are becoming popular as the health craze becomes more of a traditional player rather than a trendy fad. A steamer will do just that…steam foods. Frozen or raw products can be prepared and will result with the expected steam finish. Of course, foods once cooked in a steamer and stored in the “food bank” refrigerator can be reconstituted by the same unit to a perfect serving temperature . However, it will still have the same steam finish result. If that fits the bill, then a steamer would work just fine for you.
A breakdown of the most common steam cooking equipment and how you can build a strong lineup that is tailored to your operation.
There are many different ways to cook food, but the basic process involves applying high levels of heat to a raw product in order to change the chemistry of the item. In most cases the heat is transferred through a medium of some kind, like an oil or boiling water, but there is another method of cooking that is common, especially in health restaurants, steam.
Steaming is generally considered one of the healthiest ways to cook food, as it has less fat content then cooking with oil, and many believe less of the nutrients are lost when compared to boiling. A commercial steamer takes this to the next level, and allows for powerful, quick and large quantities of steaming for restaurant use.
Steamed menu items are becoming popular as the health craze becomes more of a traditional player rather than a trendy fad. Choosing between different models and sizes of steam cooking equipment should be based on the amount of food you plan to cook within the cavity at once. In addition, you'll need to consider the space accommodations allotted for your steamer. As one model may consume a footprint within your kitchen while another can sit comfortably on top of a shelving unit.
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.
Commercial food 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. There are electric steamers, gas-fired steamers, and direct steam food steamers. 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.
CKitchen also offers a wide selection of steam kettles, which combine the functionalities of a convection steamer and a kettle in one for cooking sauces, soups, and stews. We also have commercial-grade restaurant commercial steamers in a variety of unique sizes. Both convection and pressure steamers are available in floor or countertop models to suit your needs.
Our commercial steamers are built for heavy work, boasting a stainless steel construction that is extremely durable and easy to clean. If you have multiple steam equipment at your kitchen, consider adding steam generators to your facility.
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.
