When it comes to kitchen equipment, one steamer is pretty much like another, right? Not really…not when you look at the Evolution steamer from AccuTemp. It’s the most efficient boilerless steamer that delivers constant, even temperatures and cook times equivalent to standard boiler-based steamers.
Here’s how Steam Vector Technology works.AccuTemp knows steamers better than anyone else; in fact, they started the steamer revolution with their Steam&Hold connectionless steamer, the first connectionless steamer on the market. When their customers asked for a connected, boilerless steamer that performed as well as a boiler-based steamer, AccuTemp developed the Evolution. It combines convenience with fast cooking, improved food quality and trouble-free operation.
At the heart of the Evolution is its unique Steam Vector Technology. Here’s how it works: Water is heated in the stainless steel cavity at the bottom of the cabinet. Steam vapor is then forced up the side wall of the steamer to the Steam Distributor Plate, which then creates steam jets at each pan level. That provides the speed and cooking power of convection steam cooking but without moving parts like fans or motors.
High-volume operations appreciate the Evolution steamer for its consistent performance.The Evolution helps operations save on their water costs and repair bills. Take the 6-pan steamer line, for example. It features an optional, easy-to-connect water and drain line and, unlike other connected steamers, does not require water filtration. With its boilerless design, its cast heater is not exposed to water, so that means no deliming or costly boiler repairs. What’s more, there are no water quality exclusions in its warranty. And the Evolution is water-efficient, too. It uses only 4 to 8 gallons of water daily — less than a gallon an hour. That’s significantly less water than standard connected steamers use. Less water used means less water going down the drain — and that helps reduce sewage costs, too.
The Evolution steamer delivers speed, performance and cost savings.Speaking of costs, a quick comparison between traditional steamers — both with and without boiler — shows just what a money-saver the Evolution steamer is. Taking estimated costs for water, sewage, electricity, deliming chemicals and water filters, the typical boilerless steamer costs $3,926 annually to operate. A boiler steamer is even higher: $5,834 annually. But the Evolution steamer costs a mere $1,722 to operate annually. That’s $4,112 less per year than the boiler steamer. Multiply that savings by 5 years, and you’ve saved $20,560!
Besides having a cook time that’s equivalent to boiler-based steamers, the Evolution has so many other advantages that make it the smart choice to buy. It’s available in natural gas, propane or electric models, both connected and connectionless. There’s no water filter or treatment required with the Evolution, so that’s a significant savings. No moving parts and an easy-to-use digital control help reduce the need for repair visits and lessens the chance of costly downtime. It’s ENERGY STAR® qualified and EPA 202 certified, and needs no hood (where approved by local authorities). It can also double as a NSF-certified holding cabinet.
Steam Vector Technology ensures fast, even cooking.There’s an Evolution steamer that fits any size operation. There are 3-pan and 6-pan countertop models. For stand-mounted models, choose from 6-pan, 9-pan and 12-pan dual cavity steamers or a 9-pan triple cavity steamer.
The Evolution steamer is backed by AccuTemp’s unmatched service. Like all AccuTemp products, it’s backed by a lifetime service and support guarantee. The AccuTemp team of service technicians is available 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., 363 days a year.
