Steam Giant

In early November 2013, companies started releasing their predictions on which food trends would be steaming up the headlines in 2014. From what we’ve read thus far, the general consensus has it that cook and hold steamers should be in high demand. Here’s why:

An increasing amount of Americans are seeking out flavorful, authentic, healthy foods and steaming satisfies those desires perfectly. Of course we are not talking about just your every day steamed and poached dishes. Although they are wonderful in their own right, restaurateurs are starting to up the ante by introducing steamed foods with a wide range of flavor profiles. The effect is achieved by adding aromatics to the water or substituting it completely with heady liquids.

At Thermodyne Foodservice Products, Inc., our patented cook and hold steamers are perfect for either method. For starters, they are designed to cook and hold food at temperatures that fall within the 140 to 212 degree Fahrenheit range. Therefore, they can be used for everything from reheating, poaching and simmering foods to boiling liquids. In addition, they feature conduction heating technology, which helps to ensure that the steamed and poached delights don’t end up drying out before they make it to a customer’s table.

A suitable temperature range and conduction heating technology are not the only advantageous elements associated with our steamers. They also feature an “on call” steam chamber and enough space for 4 to 6 steam table pans. So they can be used to prepare small or large batches of evenly cooked foods at one time.

We should also mention that our cook and hold steamers typically come with a automatic water fill system, however buyers may request that the units be shipped with the manual fill option.
