Steamers for cooking are kitchen appliances designed to cook food using steam, preserving nutrients, flavors, and moisture. They work by heating water to produce steam, which gently cooks food placed in perforated trays or baskets above the water. Steamers are commonly used for vegetables, rice, seafood, and dumplings, making them ideal for healthy, oil-free meals. Available in various types such as electric steamers, bamboo steamers, and stovetop steamers, they offer versatility and convenience for preparing multiple dishes at once while retaining food’s natural texture and nutritional value.
