CASTA Electric Dim Sum Steamer with Neutral Cabinet 55 L L7/DSE800BA

A dim sum steamer generates steam inside a sealed tank, then directs it through a perforated deck that holds bamboo baskets. The steam rises evenly, cooking delicate dumplings, buns and vegetables without drying them or disturbing their shape. Because the heat is moist, the food stays tender and the colours remain bright. The method is continuous: once the water reaches boiling point, steam production is steady, so batches follow one after another without waiting for the unit to recover temperature. To start, the operator fills the tank with water either automatically or manually. The safety interlock ensures the heating elements only activate when the water level is correct. Once the power is on, the sheathed elements heat the water to boiling, producing steam that collects above the surface. A perforated stainless-steel plate supports the bamboo baskets; the steam passes through the holes, enveloping the food. The sealing gasket around the deck keeps the steam inside, preventing heat loss and ensuring uniform cooking. When the cycle is complete, the baskets are lifted out and the next batch is loaded. The unit is built entirely of AISI 304 stainless steel with a Scotch Brite finish. The work surface is 1.2 mm thick, rounded at the edges for hygiene and comfort. The steaming tank has pressed sides and rounded corners, with an overflow pipe to prevent overfilling. High-efficiency sheathed heating elements sit inside the tank, protected by a safety device that cuts power if the water level falls too low. An automatic refill system maintains the correct level; manual refill is also possible for backup. Controls consist of heat-resistant knobs with cool-touch technology. Each knob sets the steam output, allowing the operator to adjust the intensity for different types of dim sum. A 55 L capacity corresponds to a gastronorm 2/1 tray size, allowing multiple bamboo baskets to be stacked inside at once. The 14 kW power rating requires a 400 V 3-phase circuit, typical of professional kitchens with heavy-duty equipment. The 800 × 700 × 850 mm footprint fits into a standard worktop run or can be placed on its open stand for flexible layout. The 400 V 3-phase supply ensures stable operation under continuous load. The Scotch Brite finish on the stainless steel lets you wipe away sticky hoisin and soy residues with a single pass, leaving no streaks on the rounded work surface. The perforated deck and bamboo baskets are removed and washed separately. The tank should be drained and rinsed after each service to prevent scale build-up; the overflow pipe and refill system should be checked regularly to ensure they are clear. The model includes bamboo containers as standard. It is designed for professional kitchens requiring consistent, gentle steam cooking of dim sum and similar items.
