Steamers for Food Service Applications

Steamers, or steam cookers, are cooking appliances wherein heat is imparted to food in a closed compartment by direct contact with steam. The compartment can be at or above atmospheric pressure. The steam can be static or circulated. The purpose of this test is to use ASTM standard test methods to evaluate the cooking energy performance of several commercially available steamers in order to populate a database to determine the list of qualifying equipment for workpaper development.
