CASTA Electric Dim Sum Steamer with Neutral Cabinet 55 L, 800×700×850 mm

A dim sum steamer generates steam inside a sealed tank and directs it through a perforated deck that holds bamboo baskets. The steam rises evenly, cooking delicate dumplings, buns and vegetables without drying or scorching them. Because the heat is moist, ingredients retain colour, texture and nutrients better than in dry-heat methods. The sealed chamber also prevents flavour transfer between batches, so each steaming cycle starts fresh. The operator fills the tank with water to the marked level, either automatically or by hand. Once the tank is full, the heating elements activate and bring the water to a boil. Steam fills the chamber and escapes through the perforated deck, surrounding the bamboo baskets. The baskets are stacked in tiers, allowing several dishes to cook simultaneously. A steam seal around the deck keeps the steam inside, ensuring consistent results. When the cycle finishes, the baskets lift out and the next batch can begin without waiting for the tank to reheat. The unit is built entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch Brite finish. The work surface is 1.2 mm thick and slightly rounded for hygiene and comfort. The steaming tank has pressed, rounded corners and an overflow pipe that prevents spills. Inside the tank, sheathed heating elements generate steam efficiently. A safety device cuts power if the water level falls too low, protecting the elements from damage. Controls consist of heat-resistant knobs with cool-touch technology. One knob sets the steam output, while another manages the automatic water refill. If the automatic system fails, a manual override allows the operator to top up the tank without stopping the cycle. A 55 L capacity corresponds to a gastronorm 2/1 tray size, allowing two full-size trays or multiple bamboo baskets to be steamed at once. The 7 kW power rating requires a 400 V three-phase circuit, typical of professional kitchens with heavy-duty appliances. The 800×700×850 mm footprint fits standard worktop layouts, and the open stand design allows easy access for cleaning underneath. The Scotch Brite finish on the stainless steel lets you wipe away sticky hoisin and soy residues in seconds without scratching the surface. The perforated deck lifts out for thorough rinsing, and the tank can be drained through the overflow pipe. The bamboo baskets are removed and washed separately. The automatic refill system should be checked periodically to ensure it maintains the correct water level. The unit is supplied with bamboo containers sized to fit the perforated deck.
