  • Food steamer with scale
    Publication number: 20040154472
    Abstract: Quality and portion concerns in providing food products are minimized in an apparatus that includes a steamer (10) with an upwardly opening steam head (16). A load cell (42) is mounted to a cabinet (12) of the steamer (10) and includes a post (52) mounting a baffle (68) which in turn surrounds the steamer head (16). A product platter/food support (70) is placed on the baffle (68) so that the latter directs steam to food material on the product platter/food support (70) as it is being weighed. Consequently, the desired hot temperature of the food may be maintained while an accurately sized portion, by weight, is provided.
