Abstract
A food steamer includes a housing that contains a steam generating chamber covered by a removable top plate that mounts a plurality of steam injection needles. Steam is conveyed from the chamber upwardly through the needles, exiting through the upper open end of the needles. The needle mounting plate is removably secured to the housing by way of a U-shaped pin which threads through mating projecting portions on opposite sides of the plate and on opposite sides of the chamber. The plate may be removed by pulling outwardly on the U-shaped pin and lifting the plate off of the housing. A removable cover is mountable on the housing over the injection needles. A drawer is slidable into and out of the cover and includes a portion for containing the food item to be warmed. The interior of the drawer communicates with the upper open end of the needles so that the food within the interior of the drawer may be steamed.
