Commercial steam cookers

Buy ENERGY STAR^® to save you money!

An ENERGY STAR certified commercial steam cooker uses 38-50% less energy, on average, than a standard model. They also save water – 90% or more when compared with standard steam cooker models (using on average 3 gallons of water/hour for ENERGY STAR certified steam cookers versus 40 gallons of water/hour for standard models). Saving energy saves money and reduces your carbon footprint.

Key features
