Steamer

A Steamer is a type of kitchen appliance used to cook food using steam, which is a healthier and more gentle cooking method compared to boiling or frying. Steamers can be used to cook a variety of foods, including vegetables, seafood, poultry, and rice.

Steamers come in various sizes and designs, ranging from small countertop models to large commercial units used in restaurants and catering businesses. Some steamers may have multiple tiers or compartments, allowing you to cook different types of food simultaneously.

Steamers typically use a water reservoir or boiler to produce steam, which is then circulated through the cooking chamber to cook the food. The cooking time and temperature can be adjusted depending on the type and quantity of food being cooked.

Steamers can be made of various materials, including stainless steel, aluminum, or plastic, and may feature additional functions such as timers, automatic shut-off, and keep-warm settings.
