| Steamer | Used to steam food items like vegetables and grains. It uses low or high steam pressure. A steamer often consists of a set of stacked pots. The lower pot holds boiling water. The upper pot has a perforated bottom that allows the steam to enter through and cook the food in the pot above. All types of steamers cook food items quickly in very hot (212°F) water vapor. |

| Convection steamer | Steam is generated in a boiler and then piped to the cooking chamber, where it is vented over the food. Pressure does not build up in the unit. Rather, it is continually exhausted, which means the door may be opened at any time without danger of scalding or burning as with a pressure steamer. Cooks use convection steamers to cook large quantities of food. |

| Pressure steamer | Cooks food with high-temperature steam. Water is heated under pressure in a sealed compartment, allowing it to reach temperatures greater than 212°F. It's very important to release the pressure before opening the door on a pressure steamer. |
