Neumarker L00-51403 Dumpling Steamer for Professional Kitchens

A dumpling steamer uses steam to cook food gently and evenly without submerging it in water. The base holds a reservoir of water, which is heated by an electric element until it boils. The steam rises through perforated trays or baskets, surrounding the dumplings or other items with moist heat. This method preserves texture, flavour and nutrients better than boiling, and prevents sticking or breaking that can happen in a pot of water.

To operate the Neumarker L00-51403, fill the water tank to the marked level, then load the perforated trays with dumplings or other ingredients. Close the lid and set the temperature control between 30 °C and 110 °C, depending on the recipe. The unit heats the water, generating steam that circulates through the trays. Once cooking is complete, the trays can be lifted out and the food served directly or held warm at a lower setting.

The steamer is built with a stainless steel exterior and interior, chosen for durability and ease of cleaning in a busy kitchen. The 400 mm width and depth allow it to fit on most worktops, while the 680 mm height provides enough vertical space for multiple trays. The 26 kg weight means it stays stable during use but can still be moved with a trolley if needed.

Controls consist of a temperature dial that adjusts the steam output from 30 °C to 110 °C. The 1.8 kW power rating requires a dedicated 230 V circuit, typical for small commercial appliances. The temperature range covers everything from gentle warming to full steaming, making it suitable for dumplings, buns, vegetables and other delicate items.

Cleaning involves wiping down the stainless steel surfaces after each use and descaling the water tank periodically to prevent mineral build-up. The perforated trays can be removed and washed separately, either by hand or in a commercial dishwasher.

This model is a standalone unit designed for countertop use in professional kitchens, placed in the steamers section of the catalogue.
