Hospitality Connect stocks 21 steamers for commercial kitchens, covering electric benchtop steam cabinets, stainless steel steamer pots with perforated inserts, and traditional bamboo steamer baskets. Avanti, Benchstar and Scanpan are among the brands stocked.
The choice depends on volume and on what you are cooking. An electric steam cabinet runs independently of the cooktop and holds a steady output through service, which suits vegetables, seafood and yum cha in volume. A steamer pot with an insert sits on an existing burner and is the simpler option for a kitchen with spare hob space and moderate demand. Bamboo baskets stack over a wok or pot and are used for dumplings and buns, where the timber absorbs condensation instead of dripping onto the food. Trade pricing applies, delivered Australia-wide.
