    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.
