There are a variety of styles and specifications of steamers available on the market and each of them offers different benefits. Convection units are restaurant steamers that heat water directly to create steam, then that steam is circulated using fans to transfer heat directly into your food. This method is faster than traditional gas and electric ovens. Convection steamers are typically used for various cooking applications including steaming, poaching, thawing, and par-cooking. It is nearly impossible to overcook food in a convection steamer, so you can limit mistakes and food waste using one.
Convection steamers are useful for big and small applications, but pressure commercial steamers are the best option for high volume, economical meals. Commercial pressure steamers feature a large cooking area that is sealed tightly, allowing heat and pressure to compound. The additional pressure encourages faster cooking, without negative effects like shrinkage. Their high volume makes pressure steamers a commonly used option in hotels, schools, hospitals, and similar foodservice operations.
