Steaming is the most economical way to cook.
Ideal for certain food types:
Shellfish, seafood, vegetables, hard-boiled eggs, ribs, pasta
FAQ:
Which steamer should I select?
Answer:
Chart (see page 38)
FAQ:
Why should I choose Scaleblocker on my steam equipment?
ANSWER:
Food will take on the flavor of local water source. Scaleblocker filters flavors
and impurities out of the source water so you only taste the food.
FAQ:
Can I use a steamer if I don't have an available water hook up?
Answer:
Yes. Choose the Vulcan VPX3 or VPX5. These don't require water hook-up but aren't
practical for large amounts of steaming.
FAQ:
Can I steam many types of food together in the steamer at the same time without
polluting the flavors?
Answer:
Yes. You can steam multiple varieties of food at the same time. Just place stronger
flavors (like lobster) on the bottom, as juices from the food will drip down
on other foods below)
FAQ:
How do I decide what size steamer I need? Page 35
FAQ:
Why would I choose a pressure steamer over a pressure-less?
ANSWER:
A pressure steamer is for fast steaming of large volumes of food-institutional,
hospital, military-- where the whole quantity of food will be immediately served.
